Rembrandt's "St. Bartholomew" was bought from the University last week by the Worcester Art Museum of Worcester, Mass. The sale, however, was made with the consent of the donors, it was learned yesterday.
Mr. John S. Thacher, head of the University's Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection in Washington, D.C. which sold the painting, explained, "The purpose of Dumbarton oaks is Byzantine Studies, and the painting was sold so we could buy some Byzantine art. The donors approved entirely of the sale."
The painting was discovered in Paris in the 1920's by Robert W. Bliss '00 and given to the University with the rest of the Dumbarton Oaks Library and Collection in 1940.
The price of the painting was undisclosed.
