even the Magi and their retinues were similitudes of the princes and nobility of the time, while the shepherds were the homely companions of everyday life.And it was by this treat- In\u2014\u2014- ment -o6f their subject that the Old Masters appealed so strongly.Christmas was never to them a mere legendary incident, but an actual yearly happening, to be keenly anticipated, and accepted with ever recurrent gratitude for the gift of the Saviour of Mankind.It may interest lovers of the Old Masters if we say a few words respecting their various treatments of the Nativity.The stable is mostly shown as a thatched or wooden-roofed shed; occasionally the Holy Birth is made to take place in a half ruined house, according to tradition the abode of Jesse, father of David.The earliest Italian painters imitated Byzantine models, and located the Nativity in a cavern or hole in the rock; but this treatment was not very general, and such paintings lack the pastoral charm of later pictures.The Infant Jesus is generally represented asleep lying on a napkin, embroidered cushion, or piece of coloured drapery, and bolic of His earthly mission; while in another Nativity by Credi, Christ lies on the Virgin's veil, holding a bird.The Virgin may be seen in early pictures reclining on a sort of couch, but this style was discontinued after the fourteenth century, on account of the offence it gave, as Mary was not supposed to have experienced the pangs of childbirth.\u2018To her alone,\u201d says St.Bernard, \u201cdid not the punishment of Eve extend.\u201d She is therefore always shown as a worshipper, and while the Old Masters pictured her as an adoring young mother, bending in an ecstasy of joy over her first-born, she had as well in her beautiful serene face that which marked her as the chosen Mother of our Lord.The colours of her dress and mantle are usually red and blue, typical of Love and Faith.She is always a noble figure, with a peculiarly pensive beauty, most touching in her tender humility.St.Joseph is generally close by her, and the yellow hue of his dress common in most pictures signifies Faith and Marriage.And what of the angels, those messengers, choristers, and guardians?The Old Masters did not depict any special type of angelic visitants; it varied according to the painter\u2019s imagination.Cimabue\u2019s angels are grand and majestic.Orcagna\u2019s graceful and soft-mov- ing, Angelico\u2019s angels are, as might be expected of such a master, beings unearthly and ethereal, the ideal embodiment of celestial spirits.Tenderly sympathetic are the creations of Francia, grave and guardian-like those of Granaccia; Perugino\u2019s type of angel is sweet and graceful; Botticelli invests them with that dreamy and sentimental charm peculiar to his art; while crtics have objected to Mantegna's angels on account of being un- spiritual and too human.THE CHRISTMAS CHILD IN ART.\u2014The Blessed Mother and St.Elizabeth, the Holy Babe and St.John the Baptist,\u201d one of the most beautiful paintings in the realm of sacred art.L\u2019ENFANT-DIEU ET LES ARTS.\u2014\u201cLa Sainte Mère, avec Sainte Elizabeth, l\u2019Enfant-Jésus et St-Jean-Baptiste,\u201d l\u2019une des plus belles roductions de l\u2019art sacré.Pp often on the turf itself.In some pictures His finger is placed on His lip, an action meaning \u201cVer- bum Sum,\u201d \u201cI am the Word of Life.\u201d He is sometimes attended by ministering angels, and in one of Lorenzo di Credi\u2019s Nativities an angel offers a cross, sym- L\u2019'ENFANT-DIEU ET LES ARTS.\u2014\u201cLa Couronnement de la Vierge,\u201d une magnifique oeuvre de Sandro Botticelli.l\u2019Enfant-Dieu et de l\u2019aut-o elle écrit le \u201cMagnificat\u201d sur une feuille que lui présente un ange.D\u2019une main la Vierge tient The lovely spirits were at first always painted in the mystical number of three, but later were augmented by an angelic choir.They are found accompanying the shepherds, scattering flowers of heavenly growth: sometimes they surround the Divine Child and His mother, and always form one of the most beautiful and poetical adjuncts in the picture.Although the Old Masters elaborated their divine and human subjects, they did not forget the humbler accessories.From the sixth to the sixteenth century there was never a picture of the Nativity without the ox and ass.In some early examples the animals kneel in homage to their Maker, but afterwards they became merely incidents in the picture, and lost the importance formerly given them as having been present at the Birth of Christ.The shepherds are prominent persons in representations of the Nativity, those painted by Raphael being, perhaps, most true to life.They are shown carrying and playing bagpipes and tabors, and in the later Italian pictures offer doves, fruit, eggs, and occasionally a lamb: in Venetian pictures they are accompanied by women and dogs.Nowadays the shepherds pipe before the image of the Madonna and Child, and one has only to witness the Shepherds\u2019 Mass on Christmas Eve at Alassio to realise how alike the modern shepherd is to the prototype of the Old Masters.Saints and votaries were at times represented as beholders of the mystery.Cimabue introduced the figures of Tobit, St.Helena, and St.Catherine into his Nativity, and Francia shows the Infant adored by St.Augustine.This special picture was painted for avotary, one Antonia Galcaz- zo Ventivoglio, who had made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.Francia painted himself as St.Francis, and Girolama Casio de\u2019 Medici as the shepherd.This treatment was a favourite one when the picture was a votive offering, and is of historical interest, as the likenesses are generally excellent.; The Magi are typical Italian Princes, with their retinues of the guards, falconers, knights, jesters, and dwarfs who made up mediaeval Court life.The early Florentine painters represented among the gifts apes, peacocks, and pheasants, which were then being imported to Italy from the Orient; while the traditions of the Crusaders can be traced by the introductions of turbans and scimitars in the costumes.It is difficult to say which of the Old Masters was greatest as a painter of the Nativity, the pictures vary so much in colouring and style; and when even the very earliest are charming in their very crudeness, words fail to convey any adequate idea of the beauty of the masterpieces by Credi, Perugino, Botticelli, Alligri, Romani, and Bellini.Two of the most famous paintings are by Perugino; one is in the church of St.Francesco del Monte at Perugia.There is a certain solemnity about the background of distant trees seen against the dawn; the figures are replete with reverent love, and the draperies and general colour are beautiful.In the other Perugino\u2019s mastery of detail and grouping is most apparent.This \u201cAdoration of the Magi,\u201d the original of which is a fresco in the Church of St.Maria de\u2019 Bianchi, shows a cavalcade of horses and dromedaries winding down the hills, set off by a fine sweep of open country.The Virgin sits under the wooden shed, behind which are shepherds and sheep; there is a crowd of picturesque figures in attendance on the kings, and, although many figures are introduced, there is no suggestion of overcrowding.Signorelli\u2019s idea of the Nativity, embodied in a picture at the National Gallery, is curious.He does not paint the peaceful landscape so loved by the Old Masters, but locates the Nativity in a region of mountains and grottoes, and the Holy Family receive the shepherds under the shade of overhanging rocks.Christ lies on an embroidered cushion, the Virgin, with attendant angels, kneeling behind, surrounded by shepherds.There is a remarkable hill city in the distance, and a peculiar temple-like edifice is set under the hill.The whole composition glows with rich reds, browns, and greens, but the figures of the shepherds have somewhat the look of dwellers in towns.As a picture of the Nativity it deserves special recognition on account of its curious mise-en scéne and elaborate design.We possess a small and beautiful Nativity by the same artist WE SRA WRN SAT : 4: red by Festival of the Nag\u201d Christmas With the Old Masters;

but in this picture the shepherds look shepherds in reality.World-famous is the lovely Nativity by Botticelli in the National Gallery.The almost indescribable dreamy and poetical charm of the great artist is most apparent in this masterpiece.Twelve angels form a sort of floating garland against the golden splendour of heaven, which melts into the cold blue of the early dawn showing above a belt of dark trees.The mystical three angels have descended on the stable, holding olive branches typical of Peace and its Prince.The parted white hangings in the stable disclose the figures of Christ, His mother (and what a beautiful mother Botticelli dreamed of!) and St.Joseph, who sits, his face buried in reverent awe.Angels healing olive branches reassure the wonderful shepherds, and souls from Purgatory rise from beneath the rocks, to be presently comforted by the angelic visitants.The picture is a veritable idyll, and at the same time breathes a spirit of reverence that makes one forget any mannerisms.It is indeed a glorious treasure from the treasure-stores of the Old Masters.The picture Romani\u2019s famous picture of the Nativity, painted in 1525 for the THE CHRISTMAS CHILD a modern English liar charm.L\u2019ENFANT-DIEU ET LES ARTS.\u2014\u201cLe des Innocents,\u201d une remarquable peinture de W.Holman Hunt dont \u201cLa lumière du Monde\u201d vue il y a quelque années à Montréal.Cette peinture représente la fuite de la Sainte famille en | Et c\u2019est une puissante image de cet incident important de la Vie de Jésus.en Egypte.IN ART.\u2014\u201cAdoration.\u201d Picture that posse It was painted by Mrs.Stokes.triomphe a été high altar of Saint\u2019 Alessandro, at Brescia, is beautiful in its very Sses a pecu- TEE a = _ Pate REI L\u2019ENFANT-DIEU ET LES ARTS.\u2014\u201cLa Vierge i Crèche,\u201d la fameuse peinture à la renommé universelle de Fra Angelico, l\u2019un des plus grands peintres italiens du 14ème siècle.C\u2019est un des trésors du Musée de St-Marc à Florence.L\u2019ENFANT-DIEU ET LES ARTS.\u2014 Une peinture anglaise moderne qu! charme spécial.| | | | | | | | simplicity.The Blessed Mother adores the Infant alone, save fo the presence of a number of chili angels, who are hovering in th cloudy heavens.There is a sug gestion of a town and mountairs in the background, but that whit attracts one most is the gran deur of solitude and the awe filled adoration of the parents the Divine Child.We have already spoken of th Virgin\u2019s tender mother-love | insisted on by the Old Master Bellini\u2019s picture of the te Christ asleep in the lap of of Virgin amply expresses it.Sit] sits gazing on the \u201cren child with downcast eyes, lé hands clasped in prayer, fearfi of her own happiness, and full | wonder at the Divine condescery sion that gave her a place in the world\u2019s history as Mother of te) Saviour.Beautiful, loving mother;
