FOGG ART MUSEUM
Loan Exhibition of Early Italian Paintings
The Ruskin exhibition which has recently been held in the Fogg Museum is now followed by a loan exhibition of early Italian paintings, but several of the Ruskin drawings are still on view in the Photograph Room.
The exhibition of Italian pictures will last for two or three months. The following paintings are among those shown: A fine Madonna and Child, attributed to Ghirlandajo, has been loaned by Radcliffe College. There are seven paintings which formerly belonged to Professor Norton, loaned by the Misses Norton. Two of these have been attributed to Tintoretto. One is a large painting of a woman playing a lute; the other is a portrait. There is a large painting of the Adoration of the Shepherds, perhaps by Bonifazio Veneziano, which is a good example of Venetian color. There are three other Venetian portraits, and an early Siennese Madonna and Child with saints, by Sano di Pietro. An attractive little Annunciation, by Lorenzo di Credi, is loaned by Mr. W. E. C. Eustis, Mrs. Louis Cabot, Mr. Augustus Hemenway, and Mr. W. E. C. Eustis. The Madonna and Child and two saints, executed in the manner of Ghirlandajo and of great beauty. There are two interesting paintings from the collection of Mr. Charles B. Perkins, both representing the Holy Family. One is attributed to Zaganelli, and the other to Bonifazio Veneziano. The Boston Museum of Fine Arts lends an early Flemish copy of Michel Angelo's famous Holy Family in the Uffizi. A Flemish Gothic door of handsomely carved oak has been loaned by Mr. Samuel B. Dean, of Boston. Other pictures are to be added to the exhibition later.
Harvard, Feb. 20, 1910.
A Rembrandt Drawing Has Been Bought.
The Fogg Museum has purchased recently a superb drawing by Rembrandt, "Joseph in the Carpenters' Shop," which is now on exhibition in the print room. The picture represents Joseph standing at work at his bench and the Virgin, with the infant Christ on her lap, sitting on one side with another woman. The light falls from the right, falling upon Joseph and lighting also the other figures which are somewhat in shadow. The drawing is done in brown wash with lines to indicate outlines and the main contours. This little drawing, which measures 7 1/2 by 9 inches, is a splendid example of the work of this great Dutch artist and illustrates particularly his mastery of the chiaroscuro. It belonged formerly to the collection of Lord Warwick and Sir Thomas Lawrence.
A selection of Rembrandt's etchings is also on exhibition. The examples which have been chosen illustrate his work in etching and dry-point and show his treatment of portrait, landscape, and figure subjects. These etchings and the drawing give the lover of Rembrandt an opportunity to study the progress of the artist in his graphic work.
Two new paintings have lately been bought by the Fogg Museum with the help of Mrs. Edward M. Cary of Milton. The first is a beautiful "Holy Family" by Pinturicchio (1454-1513). The picture has been much repainted, but it still retains much of its original charm. It is a fine example of the early Umbrian school, and is one of the most important of the works of this master. The picture came from Valencia in Spain, where it long belonged to the church of San Juan del Hospital. It is included, as belonging to the Fogg Museum, in the list of undoubted works by Pinturicchio in the latest edition of Berenson's catalogue.
The other painting is an interesting little Flemish picture of St. Luke painting the Madonna. It was probably painted by a master under the influence of Quentin Matsys. It is a delightful example of the work of the period and was probably executed about the year 1525.
Three additions have been made to the collection of Italian paintings at the Fogg Museum. Mr. Edward S. Webster has given a fine Madonna and Child by Francesco Francia, one of the important Italian painters of the end of the fifteenth century. Mr. Francis Bull has given a portrait of a young woman by Palma Giovane, one of the later masters of the Venetian School.
Professor Thomas Whitmore of Tufts College has lent a Madonna and Child by a master of the Siennese School.
