This page contains three paragraphs of text, each preceded by a small decorative fleur-de-lis symbol.
The first paragraph discusses the recent success of a visiting exhibition of French drawings, noting that it has generated significant audience interest. It explains that the Fogg Museum’s own French drawings — part of the Fogg Collection — are rarely displayed due to their sensitivity to light. It highlights the museum’s own important collection of French drawings from the same five centuries as those in the visiting exhibition.
The second paragraph notes that many of the drawings in the current exhibition came to the museum ten years earlier via the Winthrop Bequest, making the present showing a notable anniversary. It compares the museum’s collection to others, claiming only the British Museum can match its richness in Claude and Poussin drawings. It also lists major artists represented: Prud’hon, Ingres, Géricault, Chassériau, Millet, Degas, and Toulouse-Lautrec. The text emphasizes that the collection was built through gifts and purchases — not a royal foundation — and thanks its generous supporters, encouraging visitors to become “new friends” at all levels of interest.
The third paragraph focuses on conservation efforts. It mentions that the museum’s Department of Conservation has rescued many drawings from disintegration and plans to specialize more intensively in paper conservation in the future.
