bit of flower painting was Miss Maud M.
Mason's June. The sculpture was, as
usual, distributed through the galleries in
positions most available in a show of
paintings. The Helen Foster Barnett
Prize was awarded to Mr. Gaetano Cecere
for his marble figure, Persephone. Mr.
Edward McCartan, A.N.A., had a finely
modelled work in The Kiss ; and there was
a good portrait of Mr. MacMonnies by-
Mr. Gozo Kawamura. 000

LISBON. — The famous Portuguese
artist, the painter of the two pictures
which we here illustrate, is the greatest
Portuguese artist of the present day. 0
From his youngest days he showed his
exceptional qualifications for painting, and
he was cleverly guided by his father,
Manoel Maria Bordallo Pinheiro, also a
great artist, who was a follower of the
Flemish School of painting and the first
man in this country to engage in en-
graving on wood. Besides Columbano,
two other sons of this remarkable man
became famous artists : Maria Augusta,
who developed very much the delicate art
of lace-work, and Rafael, the great
ceramist and caricaturist. 000
Columbano, who has brilliantly prac-

tised all kinds of painting, is chiefly
famous for his beautiful portraits, which
are his chief title to fame as the greatest
Portuguese master. 0000
His manner of painting is admirable,
but no less remarkable is his facility in
reproducing the psychology or the soul of
the person whose portrait he makes, so
that there is in his works something which
has a lasting appeal to the mind of anyone
who has once looked at them. 0 0
When he was twenty-three years old
he went to Paris to study, and there he
soon became well-known by exhibiting at
the Salon, in 1882, his picture, Une soiree
chez lui, which now belongs to the State.
In Pans, Fourcault, the critic who took
the place of Taine, in a long article pub-
lished in the " Gaulois," called him re-
volutionary. 00000
All this, in the very heart of France and
its art, shows well the high qualities of the
remarkable Portuguese master, who is now
the director of the Museum of Contem-
porary Art in Lisbon, having succeeded,
thanks to his work and high culture, in
gathering there the most beautiful pictures
of the last century. 000
