The Aslimolean Museum at Oxford has received a valuable addition to its many treasures. The National Art Collections Fund lias presented to it Piero de Cosimo’s remarkable picture of a forest fire, having purchased it for £3OOO from Prince Paul of Jugoslavia. Piero was a Florentine, contemporary of our Henry the Eighth. He went to classic legend and Italian fable for subjects. In the National Gallery hangs his masterpiece, “The Death of Procris.” Horror and humour are strangely mingled in this forest fire, beasts and human-headed monsters being mixed up in the confusion. The original Ashmolean Museum, which is the oldest in Britain, was called Tradeseant’s Ark because it was the home of the natural history collections formed in the 17th century by John Tradescant and his father, and acquired by Elias Ashmole, who gave them to Oxford University. It is not inappropriate, therefore, that this quaint painting of a natural history subject should find its permanent home in this' museum.
