ART TREASURES FROM EUROPE

9 W-\R POVERTY HAS FORCED SALE OP MAN I PICTURES, A European "treasure hunt" by Karl Freund was to result in an auction salo in New i'ork recently. The hunt (reports tTio New Tunc "Evening Posf) seems to havo carried him from Scotland to the shores of tho Mcditerranoan-oyer the Pyrenees into Spain and back again. Likewise has it delved into several centuries, especially the seventeenth and eighteenth. Prom Spain came one of tho few paintings ever shown in tills country by Antonios Carnicero, the imaginative and original, though not so widely known, contemporary of Goya. Broadly painted, with delicatc humour, this painting of an impromptu dancing party has many of tho attributes of tho dynamic Goya, although in no sense a servilo copy. CarniceroV "Balloon Ascension" is in tho Erado. This pictnro was obtained from tho - collection of Major Gcorgo Gardner, of Gardner House, London—a regular "gamo preserve," by tlho way, that yielded up works by Ilopner, Angelica KaulTmann, Cosway, Bonington, \Vilsoll, Kneller, Malmse, Canetto, and two rare juvenilo portraits by Nicholas Maes.

The Macs portraits havo as great ail appeal as any works in tho aalo, and yet thcro is a Sir Peter Lely portrait of a beautiful slender duchess!' And there is ft water-colour drawing by Gainsborough from tho estate of Lady Alfred 'Paget, where evidently thoro was lino ihunting. Tho tragic sales of Europo's treasures forced by war poverty hns turned Iho hunters into parks which were kept inviolate for generations.
