Through the kindness of Sir Joseph Duveen of London, art collector and son of the well-known Dutch-English art dealer and benefactor, Sir Joseph Joel Duveen, who died in 1908, there is now at the Fogg Art Museum a painting by Titian, which will remain there as a loan for a few days. Professor Arthur Pope of the Fine Arts Department will give a talk on the painting at 3.30 o'clock Monday afternoon.
The picture came from the Simon collection in Berlin and is said to have belonged formerly to the Earl of Carlyle. It is published on page 38 in Kiassiker der Kunst, but at the time of publication was suffering from a darkened varnish which has since been cleaned off.
The painting represents a man, a virile Venetian with a full beard, carrying a falcon in his hand, and the suggestion has been made that it is a portrait of Giorgio Cornaro. The picture has all the breadth and freedom of treatment that is associated with Titian's name. Mr. Richter, in his book, says he thinks it was probably painted about 1638.
