MILAN.—At the end of March every
three years there is held, in the
grande cour of the Ospedale Maggiore,
the wonderful building raised by the
greatest of the Viscontis, an exhibition of all the
portraits which, during the past four centuries,
have been dedicated to the memory of the bene-

The portrait of M. Sarina Alfieri, by Longone,
is a remarkable production, not only as a
portrait, but for its delicate effects of light and
its truly decorative spirit. A bright, flowery
landscape, bathed in sunshine and life, forms
the luminous background of the picture.
