ALTAR PANEL AT S. PETER'S
CHURCH, LIMEHOUSE. BY
MISS M. C. HAYTHORNE
in the number of paintings exhibited.
Opinion, however, is by no means so
unanimous in upholding the policy pur-
sued by the Hanging Committee in re-
jecting the works submitted by numerous
painters of established reputation whose
contributions have in past years been
welcomed at Burlington House. The
exhibition at the Guildhall Art Gallery
last month of nearly two hundred of these
works, though it yielded no surprises
and included not a few things of a trite
and commonplace order, certainly justified
to a considerable extent the contention
that many of the things to which promin-
ence was given at the Academy might
with advantage have been replaced by
some, at all events, of these rejected
works. The fact, too, that a good many
of the R.A. exhibitors, other than Members
and Associates, had two and sometimes
three works placed, has naturally accen-
tuated the feeling that the space available
under the new conditions was not quite
fairly allocated. 0000

The two altar panels here reproduced
are the work of two very talented girl
students, who were till recently pupils of
Mr. Noel Rooke at the Central School of
Arts and Crafts. In these panels Miss
Jackson and Miss Haythorne have gone
for a scheme of flat decorative painting
with rhythm of line, shape and tone
responsive to the emotional impulse of the
pictorial conceptions, while the motive
of the colour schemes was to carry the
sense of light up to either side of the altar.
While at the Central School these artists
were entrusted with an important mural
painting which the London County Council
authorities permitted to be executed above
one of the staircase landings. 0 0
The sum of £10,000 to be paid for
Millais's Christ in the House of His Parents
is not large compared with the prices
paid for some of the masterpieces of the
world's greatest painters, but it must be
a record for a work executed by a painter
scarcely out of his teens, for Millais was
not yet 21 when the picture, for which
