This is an aged, yellowed newspaper clipping mounted on a beige paper folder, likely from an archive or personal collection. The clipping, dated November 19, 1976, according to a handwritten note in blue ink (“Gayette Nov. 19, 76”), features an article about a special exhibition of Dutch master Rembrandt’s works at the Harvard University’s Fogg Art Museum.

The main headline reads:

Rembrandt’s ‘Juno’ Adds Special Touch to Show of Dutch Master’s Works

The article centers on Rembrandt’s late 1664 painting, Juno, which was on loan to the Fogg Museum from the Los Angeles County Museum. The piece was originally owned by the 17th-century art collector Harman Becker and had a complex history, including being lost after Becker’s death in 1678, misidentified in a 1935 auction (as “style of Rembrandt”), and later rediscovered and verified.

Key points from the article:

• The painting depicts the Roman goddess Juno, thought to resemble Rembrandt’s common-law wife, Hendrickje Stoffels.
• It is praised for its “splendid color, and textural qualities,” with Rembrandt’s use of light and impasto (thick paint application) highlighted.
• The article quotes Seymour Slive, Director of the Fogg and Gleason Professor of Fine Arts, who describes Juno as a “work of outstanding quality” and a major highlight of the Rembrandt exhibition.
• The painting’s inclusion was planned in conjunction with a Rembrandt seminar Slive was teaching.
• It was secured thanks to a loan arranged with Armand Hammer, Chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corp., who had owned the painting for nearly a decade.

The clipping includes two black-and-white photographs:

1. Top right photo: Shows a gallery view of the exhibition at the Fogg. A woman is seen viewing two framed Rembrandt portraits on the wall — Juno on the right, and another portrait, identified in the caption as Saint James, on the left.
2. Bottom right photo: A close-up detail of Gabrielle en Robe Rouge (oil on canvas, c. 1910–11) by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The caption notes it is “on permanent display at the Fogg, where it forms part of the Maurice Wertheim Collection of 19th- and 20th-century French painting, sculpture, and drawing.”

The article mentions that other works were included in the show, such as Head of an Old Man (1652) — a collaborative work with Jan Lievens — and Portrait of a Rabbi (c. 1654), both from the Fogg’s collection.

The overall tone of the article is celebratory, emphasizing the scholarly and aesthetic significance of the Juno painting and its role in enriching the educational mission of the Fogg Museum through its integration with university teaching.

In summary, this is a newspaper clipping documenting a significant cultural event — the loan and display of a major, historically important Rembrandt masterpiece at Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum in 1976 — reflecting the art world’s academic and collecting dynamics of the time.
