Northern Harbour, and Mr. Robert Hope's
decorative landscape. In the Black and White
Room are a number of drawings connected with
the war. The Sculpture Hall is largely occupied
with a collection of portrait busts by deceased
Scottish sculptors brought together by Dr.
MacGillivray, who is trying to interest the public
in a domain of art that has not yet come to its
own in Scotland. A. E.
MILAN.—The recent exhibition of the
Societa degli Acquerellisti Lombardi,
held in the rooms of the Palazzo
Cova, achieved an immediate and
complete success. This was obviously due to the
excellent and really high quality of the work
exhibited, but also, in part at least, to the ad-
mirable organisation of this Society—which it has
been my privilege to follow in the pages of this
journal through its successive exhibitions since
1912. At Venice in that year I admired especially
the Triumphalis Hora of the President of the
Society, Commendatore Sala—a masterly vision of

the interior of Milan Cathedral—the water-colours
of Ferrari, Rossi, Galli, Emilio Borsa and Mas-
carini, as well as Cesare Fratino, a young painter
who first attracted my notice in this exhibition.
All these artists are still to the front in the work
of the Society, and exhibited in the Palazzo Cova
last month. The President once more asserted
his entire mastery of the water-colour medium in
eight fine paintings. The delicacy of tone and
vision, the vaporous quality of Paolo Sala's work
are its distinguishing features, and were in evidence
in his Triumphalis Hora, in those scenes of the
Lago Maggiore and of London which have been
reproduced in the pages of The Studio, and are
to be found in the works now exhibited—the
Regatta on the Thames, Banks of the Lambro, the
Church of Val Malenco, and On the Longhin.
Paolo Sala is an enthusiast for his art, which he
loves for itself in its purity and entirety, and like
all the best of the modern British landscape-
painters, he searches instinctively and indefatigably
for atmosphere. From Rome Onorato Carlandi
(Societa degli Acquerellisti Lombardi, Milan)
