A TITIAN IN CAMBRIDGE

Fogg Museum Displays Painting for a Short Time and Prof. Pope Will Lecture Upon It

A painting by Titian will be shown for a short interval at the Fogg Museum in Cambridge. Professor Arthur Pope will give a talk on the painting at 8:30 next Monday afternoon.

The picture, which is shown through courtesy of Sir Joseph Duveen, came from the Hamilton collection in Berlin and is said to have belonged formerly to the Earl of Carlisle. It is published on page 83 in Klayber, der Kunst, but at the time of publication was suffering from a darkened varnish which has since been cleaned off. The painting represents a man, a veritable Venetian with a full beard, carrying a falcon in his hand, and the suggestion has been made that it is a portrait of Giorgio Cornaro. The picture has all the breadth and freedom of treatment that is associated with Titian's name. Mr. Pitcher, in his book, says he thinks it was probably painted about 1588.


The paper is torn at the top and shows signs of age, with creases and some discoloration. The top note handwritten in pencil reads "To: Fogg Museum". The document is informative, likely intended as an exhibition notice or press release, and it encapsulates a piece of art historical interest from the early 20th century.
