FIVE RARE TAPESTRIES LENT TO FOGG MUSEUM FOR SUMMER

Five rare and significant tapestries have been lent to the Fogg Art Museum, and are now on exhibition in the main room of the building. It is understood that the pieces will be on view throughout the coming summer, and during the first few weeks of the fall term.

G. F. Warburg '20, noted collector and connaisseur, has loaned three tapestries from the "Credo" series, of which only 15 items are known to be in existence, one in the Fine Arts Museum of Boston. They date from the late Fifteenth Century, and are of the best type of Flemmish workmanship.

The three "Credo" tapestries represent incidents in the life of the Virgin, the Nativity, the Ascension, and the Triumph of Mary. They are in an excellent state or preservation, and are considered to be among the best examples of the period. Arthur Lehman '93, of New York has loaned the remaining two pieces, which date a half century later, but are of a different type, being classical in motif.

These last are of the work of the French weaver, Millefaeur, and of a Flemiah gothie workshop, respectively, and date from the early Sixteenth Century.
