COLLECTIONS

Seventy-four objects were added to the permanent collection of the Museum by gift and purchase. The most important purchase was a large painting of the Crucifixion by an unknown Westphalian master of the early sixteenth century. The close relationship between this painting and the German engraving of the period makes it an object of great interest for teaching purposes aside from its beauty as a work of art. Among the other purchases, a small group of prints by Kaethe Kollwitz is worthy of mention. The gifts which deserve special notice are: Head of Valentinian by Georg Kolbe, presented by Mrs. John D. McIlhenny; the small bronze by Gerhard Marcks given by Mr. Edward M. M. Warburg; and the sixteenth century Flemish chest donated by Mrs. Francis Welch in memory of her husband, Francis Welch, Esq.

Most of these were lent for a brief period of time for the purpose of temporary exhibitions.

Perhaps the most important loan was a large altarpiece by the Cologne artist, the Master of St. Severin, lent by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The work ranks among the best achievements of the Cologne School of this period. Other loans of interest are the group of Flemish and Dutch paintings lent by Mr. R. B. Minturn, a sixteenth-century goblet of the Nuremberg school lent by Mrs. Ludwig Eiseman and Dutch still-life paintings lent by Professor Roger B. Merriman and Professor L. D. Peterkin.
