This image displays a historical document, specifically an article from “The Harvard Medical Area Newsletter / FOCUS,” mounted or clipped onto a larger, aged, tan-colored paper with three-hole punches along the left edge, likely from a binder or folder.

Headline and Publication Info:

At the top, a red banner reads:
“THE HARVARD MEDICAL AREA NEWSLETTER / FOCUS”
Beneath it, smaller text says:
“>>> on medical area meetings”

This suggests the newsletter covers events and activities for the Harvard Medical Area, but this particular article is about an art exhibition — an unusual but not unexpected cross-disciplinary item in a medical school community.

Main Article: “PRINTMAKERS EXHIBITION AT FOGG”

The article reports on an art exhibition organized by Harvard students under the tutelage of Visiting Lecturer Konrad Oberhuber from the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. The exhibit, titled:
“ROME AND VENICE: PRINTS OF THE EARLY 16TH CENTURY”
was held at the Fogg Art Museum and remained on view through May 31st (year not specified in the main text, but see below).

Key details from the article:

• It featured approximately 60 prints selected from the Fogg’s collection, the Museum of Fine Arts, and a private collection.
• The exhibit highlighted contrasting styles between two major Italian printmaking centers: Rome and Venice, during the period 1500–1530.
• Featured artists and influences include:
  • Roman craftsmen following the style of Raphael (e.g., Marcantonio Raimondi and his pupils).
  • Venetian engravers influenced by Titian and Giorgione, including Giulio and Domenico Campagnola.
  • Also mentioned are Michelangelo and Titian — whose designs were often reproduced by engravers.
• A catalogue written by the students provided descriptions of each work.
• The article notes the highly refined printing techniques of the 16th century, especially woodcuts, which were favored for their “large vibrant lines.”

Inset Image and Caption:

Below the article is a black-and-white reproduction of a print:
“Parting of the Red Sea (detail, after Titian)” by Domenico delle Greche

• The caption beneath the print repeats key information from the article, including:
  • The title and artist.
  • That the work is on exhibit at the Fogg through May 31.
  • The exhibition’s focus (1500–1530).
  • That students prepared the catalogue under Oberhuber’s guidance.
  • A mention of an upcoming gallery talk by John Spike (’77) on May 15 at 4 p.m., discussing the added influence of Raphael, Titian, Giorgione, and Michelangelo on Italian printmakers.

Handwritten Note:

Beneath the caption, someone has handwritten:
“Gazette 5/10/74”
This indicates the article was likely clipped from the Harvard Gazette on May 10, 1974, providing the publication date of the original piece.

Overall Context and Significance:

This item documents an interdisciplinary educational project — Harvard Medical Area students collaborating with an art history expert to curate a Renaissance print exhibition. It shows how medical students at the time engaged with the arts, perhaps to understand historical context, visual representation, or simply as part of a well-rounded education.

The physical presentation — clipped and stored — suggests it was saved as a record of student activity or personal interest, perhaps by one of the students involved or a faculty member.

Summary:
This is a clipping of a 1974 Harvard Gazette article announcing a student-curated art exhibition at the Fogg Museum on 16th-century Italian printmaking, accompanied by a sample engraving and handwritten notation of its source date. It reflects the intellectual breadth and cross-disciplinary engagement of Harvard students in the 1970s.
