The Fogg Museum has lately received, as an addition to the Forbes Collection, a fine water-color drawing of the Simplon by Turner. This drawing is of Turner's best period, and is a characteristically imaginative rendering of the great Alpine pass under the effect of early morning light. The drawing is now on view in the gallery on the upper floor.
Recent additions to the print collections comprise an original impression from a Florentine niello plate, the print of the Ravisher by Durer, and nine plates of Turner's Liber Studiorum in the etched state, including the following subjects: Jason, Hindoo Worshiper, Lauffenbourgh, Crypt of Kirkstall Abbey, Hedging and Ditching, River Wye, Solitude, Glaucus and Scylla, and Sheep Washing.
