A long procession, headed by the victorious legionaries guarding the spoils taken from the — conquered and bearing the military insignia of the Mace- donian leaders, is passing along the Via Sacra through monumental arches to the broad approach to the Capitol. On the extreme right of the picture, which contains hun- dreds of figures, is the General himself, in gorgeous robes, seated on a throne on the platform of a golden chariot, — decked in the insignia of Jupiter CApitolinus, and with the figure of a winged Victory holding a wreath of laurel above his head. The chariot is drawn by four prancing white horses, and followed by a crowd of the vanquished, — among them Perseus in mourning robes, who is preceded by his daughter and two sons. Dancing girls, musicians, horsemen and foot soldiers complete the procession. In the background is a range of hills crowned with stately edi- fices, chief among them the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus, with its grand approach of a hundred steps. This important picture was found in Kurope by Mr. Bishop some fifteen years ago. Although it was in bad > condition, the subject unrecognizable and the painter un- known, he purchased it and brought it to this country. The remarkable qualities of the painting were disclosed after the canvas was restretched and cleaned, and the discovery of the artist’s signature established its identity as the chef- d’ceuvre of Antoine Charles Horace Vernet, commonly hh a lai 3 , ae ae f ‘ = are ~ x , > F iv ~ sagt tt it aces a or © ee een Sh r 7 .

The picture is dated 1789, which is the date of Carle Ver- net’s election to the French Academy in recognition of the superior merits shown in his painting of “The Triumph of Paulus Aemilius.” A study of the composition shows that the artist endeavored to epitomize the events of the =a three days of triumph, one of the most notable events of ___ the kind in the history of Rome, and the only triumph in which its dignity was not marred by the display of booty _ which the soldiers had been permitted to loot from the enemy without restriction or hindrance. The works of art, weapons and insignia brought to Rome by Paulus __ Aemilius were appropriated for the use of the nation and not for private aggrandizement. It will be observed in the picture that the army is represented only by a sufficient - number of soldiers to guard the rich works of art and to carry the captured armor and standards. The hero of the triumph himself bears the eagle-crowned sceptre and “wears the laurel wreath which are the recognized insignia of Jupiter Capitolinus. Immediately behind the chariot are the two sons and the daughter of Perseus, escorted by various chiefs and attendants, and followed closely by the conquered king himself in mourning robes, herded in the crowd like a common captive. The character of the com- position, briefly suggested above, no less than the unusual importance of the picture and the extraordinary qualities of execution, establishes its identity beyond reasonable doubt. Further, no other painting by the artist, illustrat- ing this or a similar subject, is known to exist. Signed at the lower left, Carte Verner, 1789, Height, 50 inches; length, 171 inches.
