THE BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE-DECEMBER 10, 1967

This Week in the Art World

Rembrandt Works Displayed at Fogg

By EDGAR J. DRISCOLL JR.

The magic name of Rembrandt throws the spotlight on the Fogg Museum of Art these Yuletide days.

The Dutch master, whose work made art history several weeks ago when his painting of the Syndics sold for a record $2,300,000 at auction in New York City, is represented by two works at the Fogg.

To be sure, both are on a smaller scale than the richly illuminated oil which brought the all-time world's record price for a painting, but they are not without their own special charm. And the Fogg is not without its own special charm. And the Fogg is not without its own special charm. And the Fogg is not without its own special charm.

One is a self-portrait at the somberly arranged in terms of age 23. The other is a portrait of his mother, a woman of 60. Both are on loan from the Fogg's own collection.

The self-portrait is a striking example of the artist's skill in the use of light and shade. The portrait of his mother is a study in the use of light and shade. The portrait of his mother is a study in the use of light and shade.

The two paintings are included in a loan exhibition of 17th century Dutch paintings which also includes works by Hals, Vermeer, and other masters of the period. The exhibition, which opened yesterday, will remain on view through Feb. 3.

The Fogg Museum is open daily from 10 to 5. Admission is free.
