wafers are floating, representing the offering for the sins of the world, flows into the second part, representing a flower garden, where six angels play on musical instruments; beyond these, on each side, are singing angels under Gothic canopies. In the third or lower part, the water finally flows into a Gothic fountain in the centre foreground, with the blessed on one side, headed by the Pope, who directs the attention of the Emperor, kneeling beside him, to the fount as the source of salvation; on the other side, the High Priest, his eyes bound and holding a broken standard, endeavors to prevent a kneeling Jew from paying adoration; beside these are other Jews, in attitudes of horror and despair. Dr. Waagen ascribes this picture to Hubert van Eyck, but the preponderance of opinion is against him. It is called also the Fount of Salvation.—Kugler (Crowe), i. 68.

TRIUMPH OF LOVE, Domenichino, Louvre; canvas, H. 4 ft. 3 in. × 3 ft. 4 in. Love, seated in a chariot, drawn by doves, holds a bow in his right hand and drives with his left; near him a cupid scatters flowers, while another takes them from the crown of Love; the whole surrounded by a garland of flowers, painted by Daniel Seghers. Came from Villa Ludovisi, Rome, to Duc de Mazarin; thence to collection of Louis XIV.

TRIUMPH OF RELIGION IN THE ARTS, Johann Friedrich Overbeck, Städel Gallery, Frankfort; canvas, H. 14 ft. × 12 ft. The Madonna, with the Infant in her arms, sits enthroned in mid-heaven, surrounded by prophets, evangelists, and saints; on the earth below are some sixty painters, sculptors, and architects; in the centre a fountain, its upper waters rising into the sky, emblematical of the heavenward direction of Christian art as opposed to the idea of the ancients, who represented the stream as flowing downward from Parnassus, its lower waters falling into two basins, one of which reflects heaven, while the other receives earthly objects, thus indicating the twofold character of art. Sometimes called the Christian Parnassus and the Magnificat of Art. Painted in 1831-1840; cartoon in Carlsruhe Gallery. Engraved by Amsler.—Atkinson, 65; Overbeck, Religion Glorified by Fine Arts (translated by Macray, Oxford, 1850); Gaz. des B. Arts (1864), xvii. 135.
