RARE WORKS LOANED TO FOGG

The drawings from the collection of John Pierpont Morgan '89, which were recently loaned to the Fogg Art Museum, will go on exhibition at the Museum at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The drawings received number more than a hundred, and are among the rarest and the most interesting of the whole Morgan collection.

The Fogg Art Museum has, in recent years offered an exceptional opportunity to students and to the public to visit many loan collections of distinction. It may be fairly said, however, that none have been of such unique and far-reaching interest as this, for there are rare, convincing and well authenticated drawings in bistre, wash, silver point, or chalk.

The exhibition comprises several examples of the hardly known fourteenth century masters, as well as admirable examples of the work of fifteenth and sixteenth century Italian and Northern artists.

Among the Italian masters shown are Sano di Pietro, Filippino Lippi, Perugino, Spinallo Aretino, Parmigiano, Vivarini, Carpaccio, Domenico Campagnola, and Bartolomeo Montagna. The exhibition contains two sketches by Raphael, one by Benvenuto Cellini, and four by Michelangelo.

The Northern drawings are not so numerous. There is a brush drawing on vellum by Petrus Christus, and eight drawings by Durer, which alone would make the collection noteworthy. A few other drawings of the Flemish and German schools, including several drawings from engravings, make up the collection.
