Relative to bis famous painting, "Thm Last Sapper," B. S. Wallaee, nephew of the noted Lew Wallace, has the following to say, made from actnal obserrance of this painting: «Ux. W. VL Leavltt. •Dear Sir:â€"It is not my intention to try to write an appreciation of your lastly famous painting, 'The Last Sup- per/ Gladly would I do this if the to do so adequately were It la one thing to feel the of a work of art, bat quite an to express it. The former I •fare experienced. Trying to do this latter 1 discover my inability. Toot portrayal of that moment in Liberal and yirogressive The City Nasfssnejflbak con- ducts atfrel This Is wQ/f substantial aad safe. The accounts of merchants, amanfacturers aad ladrvtduals aro faepectfully invited. City - National Bank the life of the Master and the db> dples when the betrayer m **•** to be revealed la moat impressive aad gives me a new vision of the beauty •ud strength of Christ's character. The dlrine superiority to all opposi- tion and the reason for it are brought out clearly in your delineation of the central figure, whose life was the light of men.' The radiant glory pouring from the Person and lighting up the faces and forms of the dis- ciples Is a novel conception, but true to the life and work of Jesus, for He was the light that tighteth every man. -Your studies of the disciples are not the less effective because the fig- ure of Christ dominates the scene. Each of the rugged faces reveals the character of Jhe man back of It. The strong face of Thomas impressed me specially. Hia exalted belief In the power of his Lord makes it impossi- ble for him to believe that disaster can come to Him. And when it did come his intense nature carried him to the other extreme of doubt which only the risen Christ could remove. "But 1 would not attempt to make a comparison between the various studies. Each figure tells its own rtory far better than any words. Amazement, grief, despair, doubt and fear are all there, and over all the troubled scene rises the serene Mas- ter, conscious of His power. Tour *Laet Supper/ which will t»k» its place among tho really great studies of t-iat sublime incident, gave me a new vision of the adorable Christ May It give like help to many thitnuHifd* Very truly yours. "E. S- Wallace." "It was five years," said Mr. Lear vltt, in an interview, "from the time 1 conceived the idea of painting The Last Supper'. *ntil the work was completed. The first three years I spent In study of Christ and His dis- ciples. The last two years I spent in the actual work of painting." Mr. Leavltt then told of studying the lives of the disciples that he might know the kind of men they were, that he might better understand their feel- ings at the time the fatal word fell from the Savior's lips. Alter three years of this Mr. Leavltt went to Jerusalem where be found Jews to pose for him. It was while a school boy in Boston that Leavltt decided to be a painter of religious subjects. He made thia decision when he first viewed Mus- caeey's painting of "Christ Before Pilate." In working out his conception of the faces In his great painting Mr. Leavltt made fifty six preliminary drawings. He spared not himself, commencing In the morning at 3 o'clock and working sixteen hours dally. The artist has ju it recently com- pleted a tour of England, Scotland and Ireland, where he was accorded a hearty reception and his work praised on every hand. i Muriel THE CLOVER, 2SS S.
