LOAN EXHIBITION CONTINUES

The special loan exhibition of Flemish paintings at the Fogg Art Museum will continue through November 29. The exhibition is intended to cover in an unusual way the field of early Flemish painting and examples are being shown by the various mediaeval and Renaissance masters of Flanders.

From the mediaeval painters there are several examples by Roger van der Weyden, Hugo van der Goes, Hans Memlic and Albert Bonts. Significant in the Renaissance group are examples by Marcellus Koffermans, Girard David, Quentin Metsys and Jan Gossart--called Mabuse. Several of the so-called minor Flemish artists are represented by the anonymous Master of the Legend of St. Ursula; the Antwerp Master from Hoogstraaten, Joachim Patinir, Joose van Cleef, Colun de Loter, and the Franco-Fleming, Jan Prevost.

As a transition to the art of the third period, there are two striking portraits of Senor and Senora del Rio, by Antonio Moro; and finally, the art of the 17th century shown by the great master of the period, Peter Paul Rubens, by whom there are two paintings in the exhibition. To illustrate Van Dyck, the Museum has on exhibition its well-known "Portrait of Nicolas Triest."

The collection is extraordinarily complete, and some of the few gaps are filled by fine drawings by well-known Flemish masters. One, a "Seated Christ," by Petrie Christus, is among the Morgan drawings, for a long time on exhibition at the Museum. There are others by Jerome Boseh, painter of grotesque; by Breugel, genre painter, and by Jordaens, contemporary of Rubens and Van Dyck.

To better furnish the collection and at the same time to represent superb examples of the Flemish art, there are a number of large and important tapestries.

Professor George H. Edgell '09 will hold a conference on the paintings in the exhibition today at 3.30 o'clock. This conference will be open to the public.
