Three primitives have recently been added to the Fogg Museum collection of paintings. The earliest of these is an interesting little panel of the Madonna and Child, dating from some time before 1275. The panel is said to have come originally from Montalcino-and is a work of the Tuscan School. The panel was given to the Museum by Professor Frank Jewett Mather Jr. of Princeton.
The other two paintings are of the Spanish School and date probably from the 15th century. One represents a religious procession-The Dedication of a Church. The prevailing colors of the robes of the figures are red, rose color, green and orange yellow. The picture, although crude in execution, is an interesting crude in execution, is an interesting example of Spanish work of the period. The other Spanish picture is a figure of Saint christopher crossing the stream bearing the Christ Child on his shoulders, the figure of the Saint showing the spare form and harsh contours characteristic of the Spanish work.
