ART EDUCATION. 
hatclied with the pen. Marvels of execution were also to be seen 
in the construction of shadows ; the beholder admires the patience, 
the technical skill, and is pleased with the beauty of the work; 
but the voice of reason must nevertheless pronounce all such work 
to be waste of time. The achievements of this school in linear 
drawing are equalled in freehand drawing by the “ Seuola Tecnica 
di Disegno in Sant Arcangelo di Romagna.” This school exhib- 
ited large drawings of Florentine and Roman Renaissance monu- 
ments, which were represented in such perfection, that it seemed 
a pity not to have executed them upon stone; they would have 
made a most splendid work. 
The technical schools of Arcolipiceno and Pistoja must like- 
wise be mentioned for their good results; the Institution at the 
last-named place gave a good presentation of its plan of instruc- 
tion by means of the work of its pupils. 
Farther South the schools of Naples oecupied the most promi 
nent rank. The “ Seuola di Disegno Applicato alle Arti” of the 
“ Societä Centrale Operaria Nationale ” exhibited very successful 
specimens. All the branches of drawing are practiced at this 
institution, and the practical purpose, the application, is continu- 
ally kept in view; figure-drawing, which is neglected almost 
everywhere in Italy, if we except a few schools in the North, was 
also represented by very pretty drawings in some of its branches. It 
is superfluous, probably, to say that “Julien” is used exclusively. 
Besides the institution just named, the well-known “Reali Istituti 
Tecnico e di Marina Mercantile” had also submitted specimens 
of their drawings, which again confirmed the reputation of tliese 
schools in architecture, as well as in machine and ship building. 
Of freehand drawings we must mention the omaments in crayon, 
of beautiful execution. The institution also exhibited the plans 
and views of its building. In this Connection it will be proper to 
notice also the excellent results in technical drawing for maritime 
purposes of the “ R. Istituto di Marina Mercantile di Piano,” at 
Sorrento. 
Having finally mentioned the satisfactory results of the “ Scuo- 
la Tecnica Provinca” at Salerno, we have touched upon all that 
was of special importance among the work of the pupils sent to 
Vienna from the Italian peninsula.
