MEDICI PRINT COLLECTION.
DISPLAY IN CITY GALLERY. In accordance with the policy of periodical changes in displaying the collection of Medici prints presented to Auckland by Mr. Moss Davis, another series has been hung in the City Gallery, in the first room on the right of tne entrance to the main gallery. Nineteen prints have been hung, and they illustrate the Italian schools to which art owes so much all qver the world. Some of the great names represented'are Bellini, Titian, Coneggio, Raphael, aa. Vinci, Botticelli, Giorgione, Mantegna, and Guido. There are such famous pictures as the Sistine Madonna, Raphael e greatest picture, the Education of Cupid by Correggio, and da Vinci's Moan* Lisa. A fragment of a fresco by Botticelli is interesting as it shows how modern some of the people painted by the Old Masters can look when fashions come round fgain. All the pictures are of figure subjects Vsath the exception of one of Canaletto's fascinating vie** of Venice.
