The Brooklyn Museum announces the Exhibition of a Group of Copies of the great Spanish master, Velasquez. The copies were made by the young Spanish painter, J. Moya del Pino and are being presented under the patronage of His Majesty King Alfonso XIII and His Grace the Duke of Berwick and Alba. The originals of these paintings are in the famous Salon de Velasquez at the Prado in Madrid and constitute a collection which is one of the supreme treasures of the world's art. Senor del Pino accompanied by Senor E. More de la Torre, the sculptor, and by the writer, Senor Antonio Gonzales de la Pena, as assistant directors, are presenting the copies here for the purpose of familiarizing the American artists and art students with detailed color representations of the works of the great master. The pictures have previously been exhibited at the Art Alliance of Philadelphia under the auspices of the Philadelphia Forum. The present exhibition will be opened on Tuesday, May 19, on which occasion His Excellency the Spanish Ambassador, Juan Riano, will be present.
