Photographic Exhibition
at the Lyceum Club; more
recently one saw the exhibi-
tion opened by M. and Mme.
Elmqvist at their charm-
ing studio in the historical
palace of the Arte della
Lana, which calls up near
the Or San Michele visions
of the Florence of the four-
teenth century. Elmqvist is
a Swedish sculptor who has
lived in Florence for many
years, and who is known
especially for his bronzes,
his work in which metal has
“eve ”
water-colours of Mr. Oliver Hall, and the Fine Art
Society some new etchings by Mr. Frank Brangwyn,
A.R.A.—two important incidents of the present
season. At the Chenil Gallery an exhibition of
Mr. Algernon Talmage’s work has increased the
estimate in which this gifted artist’s work is held,
and at the Goupil Gallery a very interesting experi-
ment in decoration has been shown in the pictures
of children, Nos chers Blbh, by M. Jean Ray. At
this gallery too Mr. Alfred A. Wolmark in a series
of decorative arrangements exploited with great
success the luminous tones which Impressionism
can effect.
FLORENCE.—With the advent of spring
in Italy we have also the commencement
of the full Florentine season, and it is
very rare not to find, during these delight-
ful months, some artistic manifestation which should
be worthy of all the foreign society which makes its
sojourn in this city. A short time ago it was the

led him to several valuable
discoveries in the way of
casting and with regard to
beautiful patina. This exhi-
bition showed us, grouped
round his most recent
work, a robust little figure
of a child, modelled with
a delicacy and a simplicity
that are quite classic in their
modernity, other earlier
works such as those powerful
figures, the VieilHomme, La
Vieillesse, and Sans repos,
or the nervously wrought
by hugo elmqvist Iris Fiorentina, and a
whole series of those bronze
vases of such intensely personal conception and
execution in their form as in their decoration, for
which he seeks his inspiration in insect and plant life.
The water-colours of Mme. Wichmann Elmqvist
expressed also a very decided individuality in their
vigour and boldness of handling. She paints
flowers on the earth and beneath the sun—that is
to say, the living flower free and unfettered in its
movements. The delightful series of Florentine
gardens, with the unexpected charm of their floral
display, with their architecture, their beautiful vistas,
their terra-cotta vases, was one of the most delight-
ful and suggestive ensembles that one could wish
to see. G. S.
VIENNA.—At Artaria’s were lately to be

some examples were reproduced in The
Studio two or three years ago. He has a preference
for out-of-the-way corners of the earth, and is quite
