For one who is at all artistically inclined there is perhaps no greater pleasure than that to be gained in the comparison of the works of two artists who have set out to solve more or less the same problem by the use of different mediums. There is at present an excellent opportunity to do just this.
In the Museum of Fine Arts, there has been opened a most extensive and interesting exhibition of paintings by Claude Monet, the famous French landscape painter who died a few weeks ago; in the Fine Arts Room, of the Public Library, there is on exhibition of a large group of etchings by a Boston artist, Anthony Thiemo, a native of Holland.
Between the works of these two men, in their very spirit as well as in their vehicle of expression, there are vast differences. You it is just these differences when seen works treating the same subject, that create the interest in their comparison.
