How the Statues of Moses came t be made with short horns from each side of his forehead was! told by Lorado Taft in his lecture in Fullerton Hall, (Art Institute), Friday. | The Hebrew word for "gloâ€" ry" also meant "horn" and in transâ€" lating it into Greek the word "horn‘" was used instead of "glory;" thereâ€" fore the sculptors of the period litâ€" erally carried into effect this impropâ€" er translation. Thus in the great staâ€" tue of Moses, by Michael Angelo, a cast of which is in the Art Institute collection, we : see Moses equipped with horns. The original of the Anâ€" gelo statue was of heroic size, in marâ€" bie, and was designed for the tomb of Julius II; but the tomb was never finished and the statue is now in the hurch of San: Pietro, in Vincola, ;tome. Mr. Taft‘s subject was the Â¥Sculpture of the Renaissance in rance." He took his audience back ‘o the times of Charles VII, whom oan of Arc with her spiritual visions irecting her valiant army, succeeded n crowning King of France. Charles 1II, Charles VIII, Francis I and Henry 1II, were all interested in art, and employed the most gifted seulpâ€" tors and architects of their day to build elaborate castles and tombs to have come down to us as magnificent heritages from the Middle Ages. Diâ€" jon with its clamorous bells and its hundred spires was the seat of much of this activity, > . 4 " Burgundy at this period was not a frovinee of France but became one ater. Claus Sluter, the sculptor, the greatest figure in the Art of his day, rn brought from his native Holâ€" and and set to work on the King‘s projects, designing and carving figâ€" tuires on. tombs, abbeys and palaces. The speaker pointed out the fact that the art of the Renaissance in France bwed it origin to Italy and frankly sent its artisans and its artists to the mother country for inspiration. ‘ ‘ AN EARLY ORDER for engraved Christ« mas Cards mssures early delivery, Come in and mmmdz,’»davdddhuwbmtn t minute.
