NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An exhibition of recent gifts to the department of Fine Arts is now open to the public in the Print Room of the Fogg Art Museum. The prints shown date from the fifteenth century to the present day, and include the work of German, Netherlandish, Italian, Spanish, French, and American masters.

Among the Americans represented are George Bellows, Pamela Bianco, F. W. Benson, and Arthur B. Davies.

The French school is represented by Fragonard, Meryon, Berthe Morison, Renoir Legros, lithographs by Ingres and Dannier, and potraits by Nanteuil. There is a characteristic etching by Goya, the Spaniard, and among the Italians there is a specimen of Canaletto.

Among the most valuable prints in the collection is a remarkable impression of the Small Crucifixion by Durer, the gift of Miss Ellen Bullard. The Fogg Museum impression is a most unusual example of Durer's work.
