New Acquisitions and Changes in the Fogg Museum.

Through the liberality of Mr. E. W. Forbes '95 four more original works of art have just been added to the collection of the Fogg Museum, three of which are now to be seen on the wall of the upper gallery. They are; A painting in tempera on a gold ground by Benvenuto de Siena, representing the Madonna enthroned with saints; a painting in tempera attributed to Pinturicchio, of the Madonna and Child on a gold ground, and an oil painting of the Venetian School representing the Madonna and Child with the Infant St. John. The first of these is a work of great importance as an example of Italian religious art at the close of the 15th century. It is on a panel about 7x8 feet in size, and is very beautiful in color, and very elaborately wrought.

In the print room are now exposed in the wall cases a series of prints from works of the Flemish School in the time of Rubens, which illustrate the transition from the primitive to the modern methods of engraving that was wrought under the influence of the great Flemish master. The engravers represented are: Suavius, Coet, Galle, Goltzius, Swanenburg, Stock, Matham, Muller, Soutman, Vorsterman, Pontius, and Goudt.
