This image displays a page from the French-language newspaper La Patrie du Dimanche, dated 4 October 1959, page 37. The page is laid flat, possibly within a protective folder or display case, and features four black-and-white photographs accompanied by French text discussing the Fogg Museum at Harvard University.
The layout is divided into four quadrants:
Top Left:
A photograph of the painting “LA CRUCIFIXION” by Fra Angelico (1387–1455). The image shows Christ on the cross, with Mary and Saint John mourning below. This artwork exemplifies the museum’s collection of Renaissance religious art. The caption identifies the artist and notes the painting’s origin.
Top Right:
A photograph labeled “Une leçon de sculpture” (“A sculpture lesson”). It shows a group of students seated around a sculpture teacher who is gesturing toward a model or sculpture on a stand. The setting appears to be a classroom or studio, suggesting the museum’s educational role.
Bottom Left:
A portion of an article titled “LA BIBLIOTHEQUE” (“THE LIBRARY”) describing the extensive library and research facilities at the Fogg Museum, including 81,100 slide projections and over 250,000 reproductions. It emphasizes the library’s importance for training professors and curators, and mentions its collection of 35,000 volumes.
Bottom Right:
A photograph captioned “Saint François recevant les stigmates, peinture par GIOTTO” (“Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata, painting by Giotto”). The image shows the iconic moment from Giotto’s cycle depicting Saint Francis receiving the stigmata, rendered in a late medieval style with vivid narrative detail.
