ABSTRACT

AFTER only a short obscuration the star of Raphael is to-day entering on a new aspect. He seems to have been out of sight for a period so brief as to be of no importance compared with the length of time his art has lived. Unless we had the right to get clear as to what has come about, it would scarcely be worth while to call to remembrance the reasons for the change in estimation of him which resulted in his rejection.
