Welu (left) and the Rev. Clyde H. Cox Jr., examining a painting. The painting they are looking at appears to be a classical artwork featuring a figure, possibly a religious or mythological scene.
The article discusses the rediscovery of a painting that had been in the possession of the Hawkins family since the early 1800s. The painting was initially identified as a work by Andrea del Sarto, but it was later mislabeled and thought to be by Domenico Puligo. Extensive research and examination using modern techniques, such as X-rays and infrared cameras, confirmed that the painting is indeed an original work by Andrea del Sarto. The painting is now being loaned to the Worcester Art Museum.
The article also mentions the historical context of the painting, including its previous exhibition at the Boston Athenaeum in 1863 and its transfer to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 1915. The text is accompanied by a clipping from the "Worcester Telegram," dated 1980, which provides additional information about the painting and its history.

The newspaper clipping is from "The Worcester Telegram" and is dated January 2, 1980. The article is titled "Rediscovered Painting Loaned to Museum." The text describes the rediscovery of a painting that had been lost for many years. The painting was identified as a work by the Italian artist Andrea del Sarto. It had been in the possession of the family of Thomas B. Stinson, a member of All Saints Church and a volunteer at the Worcester Art Museum, for many years. The painting was loaned to the museum for display.
The article provides details about the history of the painting, including its journey from Italy to Boston in the early 1800s, its exhibition at the Boston Athenæum in 1863, and its eventual purchase by the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 1915. The painting remained in the museum's collection until 1938, when it was returned to the family of the donor, Mrs. Mary Hawkins, who was a Worcester resident. After her death in 1959, the painting was inherited by her husband, Vice President of Sawyer Lumber Co., who retired in 1959 and moved to East Haddam, Conn. It was at this time that the painting was rediscovered.
The article also mentions the use of sophisticated equipment, including X-rays, to examine the painting and confirm its authenticity. The painting was cleaned and restored before being loaned to the Worcester Art Museum, where it was placed in the St. John the Baptist painting gallery. The article concludes by noting that the rediscovery of the painting is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its historical importance as a work by a major Italian Renaissance artist.
