Fogg Art Museum.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

On the walls of the main upper gallery of the Fogg Museum may now be seen a large collection of photographs from works by the German, Flemish and Dutch masters: Durer, Holbein, Rubens, Van Dyck and Rembrandt. They are, for the most part, portraits-including those of historical personages such as Henry VIII, Anne of Cleves, Charles I and Henrietta his Queen, William of Nassau, Edward VI, Philipe IV of Spain, Marie de Medicis, Descartes, Erasmus, Bishop Warham, and portraits by their own hands respectively of Duren, Rubens, Van Dyck, and Rembrandt.

The photographs represent the art of portraiture in its highest state of excellence. A more interesting and instructive collection could hardly be brought together.
