None interested me more than some drawings, on separate pieces of paper, by Perugino, for his picture of the mother and friends of Jesus round his dead body, now at the Pitti Palace. The attendant figures are distinctly made out, as if the Virgin, and John, and Mary Magdalen had each favored the painter with a sitting; but the body of Jesus lies in the midst, dimly hinted with a few pencil-marks.
Ludolph asked, good naturedly, "Why, Fleet, what is the matter?" "Indeed, sir, I hardly know," answered the bewildered youth, "but it seems to me that I have lost my wits since that picture came. For a moment I thought that the lady on the canvas had stepped out upon the floor." "Now that you speak of it," exclaimed Mr. Ludolph, advancing into the room, "there is a striking resemblance."
Time, the great solvent, will, I am sure, vindicate this policy of humanity and forbearance. Men forget what is back of this struggle in Mexico. It is the age-long struggle of a people to come into their own, and while we look upon the incidents in the foreground, let us not forget the tragic reality in the background which towers above this whole sad picture.
We could have them try to stop the pursuers but get worsted in the encounter, and the roughs could keep right on after the girls. In that way we won't have to waste much film. Just go on with the picture from the point where these policemen came in." Mr. Pertell thought for a minute. "That's the idea!" he suddenly cried. "It will make a better picture that way.
Breathless, overheated from the long race, I tottered back, my knees trembling the whole way. I felt utterly broken, as though I were carrying on my shoulders a picture, weighing a ton, of men who for sport angle for human carrion.
A constant succession of villages, towns and cities would be transformed into a picture of bustle and business. The internal economical conditions of China to-day are very much the same as were those of India when railways were introduced.
"We're working on another set for this same picture," she explained, "but I simply had to catch you acting. You'll probably be over with us to-morrow. But you're through for the day, so beat it and have a good time." "Couldn't I come over and watch you?"
There He is seen as a Man of Fire, ablaze with light, intently watching, with tender but omnipotent touch waiting, ever waiting; with a patience unknown except in Him, still waiting. But John's earlier Gospel picture is of the Brooding-Jesus. The word "brooding" here takes in its fine deep significance.
She was the widow of a member of the 'Academie des Inscriptions', and plumed herself upon her illustrious widowhood. She was sweet and modest in her black gown and her beautiful white hair. Madame Martin said to M. Daniel Salomon that she wished to consult him particularly on the picture of a group of beautiful children. "You will tell me if it pleases you.
<1> Problemes de l'Esthetique Contemporaine 1902, p. 77. The diffusion of stimulation, the equilibrium of impulses, life- enhancement through repose! this is the aesthetic experience. But how, then, it will be asked, are we to interpret the temporal arts? A picture or a statue maybe understood through this formula, but hardly a drama or a symphony.
