The spread features two black-and-white reproductions of Renaissance artworks:
Left Page (Figure 8): A print of Christ on the Cross by the Sienese artist Simone Martini (ca. 1340). The image depicts Christ crucified on a simple cross, with the inscription "INRI" visible above his head. The accompanying caption notes the medium is tempera on panel (9½" x 5¾") and that it was acquired via the bequest of Hervey E. W. Ezerel, class of 1911, with the accession number 1919.15.
Right Page (Figure 9): A print of Seven Apostles Watching the Ascension of Christ by the North Italian artist Andrea Mantegna (ca. 1464). This is described as a brush drawing heightened with white on grey-green paper (11 ¼" x 8½"). The artwork shows a group of apostles viewed from behind, gazing upwards in awe. The caption indicates it was a gift from Mrs. Jesse I. Strauss to Paul J. Sachs for the Fogg Art Museum, with the accession number 1916.41.1.
