Florentine Painting on Exhibition

The Fogg Art Museum is now showing in its gallery for about a week one of the finest Florentine paintings that has come to America in recent years. It is the well-known large tondo, painted in oils on panel, of the "Madonna Adoring the Child," a typical Florentine work of the late 15th century, by Piero di Lorenzo, known as Piero di Cosimo (1462-1520). It will be recalled that Piero di Cosimo is chosen by George Eliot in "Romola" as the typical Florentine artist.

The picture has long been famous in the collection of Arthur E. Street, of London. According to tradition, it be longed originally to Lorenzo di Medici, who presented it to a lady of the family of the Gulducol.

The Museum is open on week days from 9 until 5 o'clock and on Sundays from 1 until 5 in the afternoon.
