Some Famous Paintings From Brushes of Ancient and Modern Artists MEN NN Ne PP \u201cTHE HOLY NIGHT\u201d\u2014Wonderfully appealing is this exquisite treatment of the manger scene in the Bethlehem stable.The child is sleeping, and over the manger-cradle bends the Blessed Mother with hands clasped as in prayer.Beside the crib \u201clittle children\u201d watch the slumber of the Babe with Fa » childlike interest and curiosity.From the gloom of the surrounding darkness cherub faces, wreathed in smiles, look forward to the place \u201cwhere the Saviour lies.\u201d Celestial light illumines the manger-bed, and the faces of the children.The painting is the work of H.Havenith, , of which ancient art and literature = : R \u2018 \u201c> - | knew nothing.In fact, since the dawn } of Christianity, painters and sculptors of almost every age and nationality have vied with one another in portraying on canvas and in stone the principal incidents in the earthly history of the God-Man, On the walls of the catacombs in Rome the early Christians chiselled and drew pictures of the Nativity, the Flight into Egypt, the Visits of the Wise Men and Shepherds, the Madonna, etc.When the Church emerged triumphant from the catacombs; when the days of the bloody Roman persecutions \u201cTHE MADONNA OF SORROWS\u201d\"\u2014This is a reproduction of a modern painting in the possession of the Liverpool were over; when a Christian Emperor Corporation.The subject has been beautifully and sympathetically treated, and the artist has made the face \u2014Constantine, the son of a British of the Mother very pensive and careworn.The Child is awake, and clings to the Mother in a very human way.princess\u2014sat upon the throne of the LS SUS Se Ne SY A VAN VA VAR LAN ANA ANA The Christ= Child in Art.RTS AN AS AE ANS ANS AS ÛS ANS ANS SANS MES AS Le TAR HITTIN The birth of Jesus is the sunrise of p ~~ \u2014\u2014the Bible.Towards this point the aspirations of the Prophets and the poems of the Psalmist were directed as the heads of flowers are turned towards the dawn.From this point a new day began to flow very silently over the world \u2014a, day of faith and freedom, a day of hope and love.For, in very truth, the story of the birth and childhood of Jesus, the Son of the Most High God,\u2014told with such wonderful simplicity and purity in the Gospels of St.Matthew and St.Luke,\u2014 has made throughout the ages a profound impression on the heart of the world.It has exercised a potent influ- gnce not only on human thought, but also on human feeling and action.- It has created new ideals of taste and of conduct; new forms of grace and beauty; a new kind of love and a distinct type of loveliness.Since the Nativity in the manger-bed at Bethlehem the world has learned a new reverence and tenderness for childhood, and, in expressing these, it has discovered in the innocence and simplicity of the Child another embodiment of the eternal beauty which dwells at the heart of all things good and true.The birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension of Christ provided new themes for poets and painters\u2014themes \u201cTHE MOTHER ADORING HER CHILD\u201d\u2014This charming masterpiece, so full of religious sentiment and feeling, was painted by Giovanni Bellini,\u2014one of the founders of the Venetian school of painting\u2014in the closing years of the 15th century.It now hangs in the Church of II Redentore, Venice.Musical Angels, such as those which form such an attractive feature of the painting, are frequently met with in the works of this great master, who was born in 1424, and died in 1516.\u201cADORATION\"\u2014This illustration is a reproduction of an original painting by Mrs.Stokes, an English artist.The picture possesses a most peculiar charm and has been very highly praised by those who have seen it.NN TN V) NTT ih.WF Caesars, then the master artists of the QD A A \u201c2e ;

when the Venetian, Florentine, Spanish, Milanese, Flemish and other schools contended for supremacy in the realm of art, then the Church received those splendid masterpieces of sacred art which ever since have excited the wonder and admiration of the world.As we look back upon the manifold interpretations of \u201cThe Nativity\u201d that art has given to the world, we may value all that are significant and genuine and beautiful, feeling one fine quality in one and another profound meaning in another.All that is past, however, will not suffice for the present.For the birth of Christ has a message in it which is inexhaustible, and needs to be interpreted anew to every age, to every race.It is safe to say that, in the future, the marvel of the Nativity will be interpreted again with new meanings of immortal loveliness and truth.The priceless skill of the greatest artists will be employed once more to paint and carve upon the walls of churches, and hospitals, and asylums, and refuges for poor and helpless children, the vision of the Christ-Child shining in His lowly cradle, sheltered and worshipped by pure Mother-love.Amid works of benevolence and works of art, beautiful to the sense and soul, living faith will join hands with reverent imagination at the birthplace of the Son of God, who became a human child in order that the sons of men might become the children of God.To-day, through the courtesy of Rev.W.S.Barhes, The Standard publishes in its Special Christmas Supplement a ingl eauti repro- .pr .Tamper of exceeding y beaut ptet \u201cTHE CORONATION OF THE VIRGIN\u201d\u2014This magnificent canvas is one of the best of Sandro Botticelli's many associated with the Nativity of our paintings.With one hand the Virgin Supports the Infant Saviour, while with the other she is in the act of writ- ;
