Collection of Late N. Y. Business Man and Wife Willed to Fogg Museum—Generous Gift Also Includes Three Panelled Rooms to Be Installed Complete with Furnishings

The article, authored by Albert Franz Cochran, details the bequest of the art collection and interior furnishings of the late Aaron Naumburg and his wife, Mrs. Nettie G. Naumburg, to the Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard University.

• The Bequest: The collection includes paintings and sculptures by artists such as Rembrandt, El Greco, Murillo, Franz Hals, Rubens, Bronzino, Luini, and Liebert. It also features a silver statuette titled “Benevento Cellini” and several terra cottas. The most unique part of the gift is the complete donation of three elaborately paneled rooms from their former residence on West 67th Street in New York City, including all their original furnishings.
• The Donors: Aaron Naumburg was a president of a manufacturing firm. His wife, Nettie, died several years before him; he passed away on March 8 of the current year (implied to be 1930, based on the date at the bottom). The article notes their deep interest in art, cultivated over 15 years, and their role as benefactors of the Fogg Museum.
• The Vision: Mrs. Naumburg’s desire was for the collection and rooms to be installed “complete with its furnishings and art” at the Fogg Museum, serving as both a reception and social hall. She believed this arrangement would be beneficial for students and the museum's educational mission, using the rooms as a “devotional experience and expression.”
• The Installation Plan: The rooms will be dismantled and shipped to Harvard, where they will be reassembled. The article describes the interior design, including wood paneling, a “great oriental carpet,” and a “rock crystal chandelier.” There is hope that the university can proceed quickly with the installation.
• The Article’s Date: At the bottom right, the document is stamped or handwritten as “New York Sun April 12, 1930.” A separate, smaller, handwritten note near the center-right says “Transcript April 5, 1930,” possibly indicating a source or a related publication date.
• Notable Artworks Mentioned: Specific paintings highlighted include Rembrandt’s “Portrait of a Man,” El Greco’s “Portrait of the Temple,” and works by Rubens and others.

In essence, the document is a historical news report celebrating a significant donation to Harvard's Fogg Museum, which transcends just artwork by including the entire, preserved environment in which the collection was displayed.
