Text Appearing Before Image:
pes of women like the mother? Is the ChristChild interested in his family, or something else? This picture, like many others, painted at about the sametime, shows the divinity of family ties, the sacredness of themarriage covenant, and the blessedness of children. The artistsrepresented the beauty and happiness of such relationships whilethe Church was teaching celibacy and the doctrine that chil-dren are conceived in sin and need early baptisms, etc. Here we have portrayed a Holy Family, indeed. From each corner a succession of lines or objects make aslightly curving line that leads up to the principal personage. The setting is typical of the middle Italian landscape. The cupids in the upper corner are no doubt introduced tolend a sort of divinity to the group, and was no doubt em-ployed instead of the halo as it appears in many later picQkres. The dark colors are characteristic of the age in which thepicture was painted and give strong relief as well as contrastto the light figures.
Text Appearing After Image:
THE KISS OF JUDAS The Kiss of Judas (Suggestions for Picture Study, by J. Leo Fairbanks) The author of this picture, Ary Scheffer, is a Dutch artistof the nineteenth century. After long residence in France hebecame a naturalized Frenchman. He is well known for his re-religious subjects and was especially encouraged by the Catho-lic church. In this picture there is an evident intention of contrasting oneof the basest with the very noblest human face. How successfulthe artist was is a point each one must decide for himself. Study the features of each of the principal figures and notethe difference. Every detail of Judas face is sharp, angular andhard. Christs features are regular, smooth and almost woman-like. From what source does the light come? (Note how darkand deep the shadows are.) Does the torch in the upper right hand corner suggest any-thing to you ? What does the hand above Judas head suggest? If you will note Judas hands do not touch his Master. Whatsignificance do you attach
