International studio . of distinction,of refinement of type.

And now his creation of LaVittoria is the appropriate sequel to theearlier claim ; while in those glad scenesof the Roman Villa, the Games, the Fruitsof the Earth, we recognize, in this modernVenetian, the audacity and sureness ofhand, the breadth of composition and swingof movement which once, in Madrid or thePalaces of Venice and the Veneto, were thehall-mark of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. 0.
