ELMORE, R.A. 62 THE EMPEROR CHARLES THE FIFTH AT THE CONVENT OF YUSTE The Spanish order of St. Jerome early placed its standard in the Vera of Placencia, choosing for its camp one of the sweetest spots of the sweet valley. Yuste stands on its northern side, and near its eastern end, about two leagues west of Xarandilla, and seven leagues east of Placencia. The’site is a piece of somewhat level ground, on the lower slope of the mountain, which is clothed, as far as the eye can reach, with woods of venerable oak and chestnut. About an English mile to the south, the village of Quacos nestles, unseen amongst its orchards and mulberry gardens. The monastery owes its name not to a saint, but to a streamlet, which descends from the Sienna behind its walls, and its origin to the piety of one Sancho Martin, of Quacos, who granted, in 1402, a tract of forest land to two hermits from Plafencia. Here these holy men built their cells and planted an orchard, and obtained, in 1488, a bull, authorizing them to found a religious house of the order of St. Jerome. Thither, in 1557, wearied with the cares of kingcraft, and with a body enfeebled by disease, the Emperor Charles the Fifth, the friend of Titian, retired, taking to his retreat his dearly loved pictures. When his malady approached its termination, and within a few days of the day of his death, the sunshine tempted him to his open gallery. As he sat there, he sent for the portrait of the Empress, and hung for some time lost in thought over the gentle face, which, with its blue eyes, auburn hair, and pensive beauty somewhat resembled that other Isabella, the great Queen of Castile. He next called for a picture of our Lord praying in the Garden, and then for a sketch of the Last Judgment, by Titian. Having looked his last on the image of the wife of his youth, it seemed as if he were now bidding farewell, in the contemplation of these other favourite pictures, to the noble art which he had loved with a love which cares, and years, and sickness could not quench, and that will ever be remembered with his better fame. Thus occupied, he remained so abstracted and motionless that it was thought right to awaken him from his reverie. On being spoken to, he turned round and complained that he was ill. From this pleasant spot, filled with the fragrance of the garden and the murmur of the fountain, and bright with the glimpses of the golden Vera, they carried him to the gloomy chamber of his sleepless nights, and laid him on the bed from which he was to rise no more. * 65^ in. by 47 in.

FRITH, R.A. 64 SWIFT AND VANESSA “ After years of hopeless attachment to Swift, Vanessa wrote to her rival Stella asking the nature of her connection with him. That lady replied that they were married, and indignantly handed Vanessa’s letter to the Dean, who, to quote Scott’s words, in a paroxysm of fury, rode instantly to Marley Abbey, the residence of Vanessa. As he entered the apartment the sternness of his countenance struck the unfortunate Vanessa with such terror that she could scarce ask whether he would not sit down. “ He answered by flinging a letter on the table, and instantly mount¬ ing his horse returned to Dublin. “ When Vanessa opened the packet she only found her own letter to Stella. It was her death warrant.” 49 in. by 36 in. Exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1881 W. E. FROST, R.A. 65 The Syrens A small replica of the picture in Her Majesty’s collection. 11 in. by 15 in.
