520			_a"A Face Illumined" by Edward Payson Roe is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Harold Van Berg, a young artist who becomes captivated by the beauty of Ida Mayhew, a woman whose striking appearance is marred by her shallow personality. As Van Berg engages with her, he grapples with the disconnect between her physical beauty and the superficial qualities that define her character. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Van Berg as he diligently works on a painting in his studio. His friend Ik Stanton interrupts him, and they engage in a charming banter. The narrative flows to an evening concert where Van Berg notices Ida Mayhew at a neighboring table. While initially struck by her beauty, he quickly finds himself disillusioned by her lack of substance and her frivolous behavior. This disappointment manifests in his artistic frustration, as he becomes determined to explore whether he can assist in “illuminating” her character through deeper understanding and connection. The beginning sets the stage for themes of beauty, artistic aspiration, and the quest for true character amid societal superficiality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
