The image appears to be an old photograph or print from a book or album, showing two different paintings. The left side of the image displays a black-and-white painting of a bearded man, possibly a saint or a religious figure, holding a skull in his hand. The man is dressed in a simple robe and is seated, with a dark background that emphasizes the figure. This painting is attributed to Jusepe de Ribera, 1588-1656, and is part of the Spanish School.
The right side of the image shows another painting, a color print or drawing, of a bearded man in a religious robe, holding a book and a chalice. This figure is within an ornate architectural setting, suggesting a halo around the head, which is typical in religious art. This painting is attributed to Vittorio Crivelli, 15th century, and is part of the Venetian School.
At the bottom of the image, there is a caption that reads: "TWO GIFTS TO THE FOGG MUSEUM, PAINTINGS OF ST. JEROME BY JUSEPE DE RIBERA, 1588-1656, SPANISH SCHOOL, AND VITTORIO CRIVELLI, FIFTEENTH CENTURY, VENETIAN SCHOOL, RESPECTIVELY." This indicates that the two paintings were gifts to the Fogg Museum.
The photograph itself has some wear and tear, with creases and marks that suggest it is an older document. The pages are a淡 brown color, and the edges appear slightly worn. The book or album has a maroon cover with visible stitching and a label on the spine that reads "LARCH." There are also some brown tape remnants on the pages, likely used to hold the pages together in the past.
This image is a page from an archive or scrapbook, featuring two paintings of Saint Jerome. The page is labeled "Harvard Crimson, Dec. 18, 1920," indicating that the content is from a publication dated December 18, 1920.
On the left is a painting by Jusepe de Ribera, a Spanish artist from the 17th century (1588-1656). The painting depicts Saint Jerome as an emaciated figure holding a skull, symbolizing his contemplation of mortality and penance. He is seated and draped in a dark robe, with his head shaved and his body showing signs of asceticism.
On the right is a painting by Vittorio Crivelli, a Venetian artist from the 15th century. This depiction of Saint Jerome shows him as an older man with a long beard and wearing a hat. He is holding an open book and a small architectural model, possibly representing the Church or a specific religious structure. The background includes a detailed view of a building, likely a church.
The caption below the images reads: "TWO GIFTS TO THE FOGG MUSEUM, PAINTINGS OF ST. JEROME BY JUSEPE DE RIBERA, 1588-1656, SPANISH SCHOOL, AND VITTORIO CRIVELLI, FIFTEENTH CENTURY, VENETIAN SCHOOL, RESPECTIVELY."
The page appears to be from a collection or archive, with various pieces of paper and tape visible, suggesting it has been compiled over time. The text and images are presented in a way that suggests they are part of a news article or announcement about the acquisition of these paintings by the Fogg Museum.
This image displays a page from an old scrapbook or album, showcasing two historical black-and-white photographs of paintings, mounted on aged, beige-toned paper within a red-brown binding.
The page features:
Left Photograph: A dramatic, darkly lit portrait of a bare-chested, bearded man, identified as Saint Jerome. He is seated, holding a human skull in his lap, a common symbol of mortality and contemplation. His expression is intense and introspective. The photograph is captioned above with handwritten text: "Harvard Crimson, Dec. 18, 1920."
Right Photograph: A more formal, full-length depiction of Saint Jerome standing within an arched niche. He wears a bishop’s mitre and robes and holds a large, open book in one hand and a model of a church or shrine in the other. His long, flowing beard is a prominent feature. This image is rendered in a more detailed, linear style compared to the painterly quality of the left photo.
Caption: Below both images, a printed caption reads:
“TWO GIFTS TO THE FOGG MUSEUM, PAINTINGS OF ST. JEROME BY JUSEPE DE RIBERA, 1588-1656, SPANISH SCHOOL, AND VITTORIO CRIVELLI, FIFTEENTH CENTURY, VENETIAN SCHOOL, RESPECTIVELY.”
This text identifies the artists and their respective works: the left painting by Jusepe de Ribera (Spanish) and the right by Vittorio Crivelli (Venetian). The caption also explains these paintings were gifted to the Fogg Museum at Harvard University.
Overall Context: The page appears to be a newspaper clipping or museum bulletin from December 18, 1920, preserved in an album. The mounting shows signs of age, including yellowed paper, creases, and tape or adhesive stains, suggesting historical documentation. The overall impression is one of archival preservation of art historical news.
In essence, the image captures a moment in art history — the acquisition of two significant 16th- and 15th-century paintings of Saint Jerome by the Fogg Museum — preserved in a tangible, historical document.
The image shows two old paintings of St. Jerome that were donated to the Fogg Museum. The paintings are printed on paper and attached to a piece of cardboard. The painting on the left is of St. Jerome in a robe holding a skull. The painting on the right is of St. Jerome in a robe holding a book. The paintings are from the 15th and 16th centuries.
An open book with a picture of a man on the left side and a drawing of a man on the right side. The picture of the man on the left side is a painting of a man with a skull in his hand, and the drawing of the man on the right side is a drawing of a man holding a book. The book has a red border and is placed on a white surface.
The image depicts the cover of a book or catalog titled "Two Gifts to the Fogg Museum", which appears to be a publication related to art. The cover features two prominent illustrations:
Left Illustration: A black-and-white portrait of a man, likely St. Jerome, depicted in a contemplative pose. He is shirtless, holding a skull, which symbolizes mortality and reflection—a common motif in religious art. The style suggests a Spanish School painting from the 17th century, attributed to José de Ribera (1588–1656).
Right Illustration: An image of another figure, possibly St. Jerome again, but this time in a different context. He is dressed in religious attire, holding a book and a small architectural structure, possibly a model of a church or shrine. This illustration is attributed to Vittorio Crivelli, a Venetian School artist from the 15th century.
Title and Caption: The text at the bottom of the cover reads:
"Two Gifts to the Fogg Museum. Paintings of St. Jerome by José de Ribera, 1588–1656, Spanish School, and Vittorio Crivelli, Fifteenth Century, Venetian School, respectively."
This indicates that the book or catalog discusses two significant paintings of St. Jerome donated to the Fogg Museum, one by Ribera and the other by Crivelli.
Design and Condition:
