'l'itian, tiie wonderful . colour painter. Some remarkablygood reproductions of land and seascape works were exhibited, including some ;pretty Watteau scenes; delicate paintings by Corot, Millet, Lorraine, and others, with the;r realistic .colour' schemes. ■ Turner's artistry in this branch was revealed in some well-select-ed copies of his land and- sea representations. Modern sketching and painting errors were outlined by the lecturer with the aid of the lantern, some of the later .productions being shown reversed, so, that the technical faults were apparent. Rodin's living sculpture was exhibited in all its boldness of beauty. Mr. Griffiths was accorded. a hearty vote of thanks at the conclusion of his lecture.
