rative group in a landscape
by Mr. John are distin-
guished by the vitality and
breadth of treatment which
characterize this painter's
best work; and a fine
group of works by the
late Nathaniel Hone, Ire-
land's greatest landscape
painter, is a welcome addi-
tion to the series of sea-
scapes and landscapes by

{Dublin Municipal Gallery, Lane Bequest) The collection has also
been strengthened by the
short term of office, had presented a number of acquisition of a number of water-colours and
valuable works to the Collection. These two drawings from the Lane Bequest, which include
institutions have now further benefited under examples of such men as Daumier, Puvis de
the will of this most generous of Irishmen, the Chavannes, Corot, Bonvin, Segantini, and Wil-
former by the addition of about one hundred Ham Maris, as well as of some of the foremost
pictures, water-colours, and drawings, the latter draughtsmen of the present generation,
by the bequest of some forty works
by old masters, and a capital sum
representing a yearly endowment
of over £1000 per annum.
Amongst the more noteworthy
of the Lane Bequest pictures in
the Municipal Gallery are Burne-
Jones's Sleeping Princess from the
Briar Rose series; Millais' early
work The Return of the Dove to
the Ark, a variant of the Oxford
picture ; a sea-piece by Boudin ;
an interesting Portrait of a Young
Man by Ingres; and important
works by Mr. Sargent (including
his fine portrait of Sir Hugh Lane),
Mr. Steer, Mr. John, Mr. Nichol-
son, Mr. Muirhead, and other con-
temporary painters. The two new
pictures by Mr. Steer, The Severn
Valley and The Estuary, Porchester,
are amongst his finest achieve-
ments, masterly in handling and
full of the sheer beauty and poetic
feeling which he succeeds so won-
derfully in conveying through his J%MK
brush, while the group of four r ^/
water-colour studies by him are
also singularly attractive in their portrait by Augustus john
