An Italian and two Flemish paintings have just been placed on exhibition in the main gallery of the Fogg Art Museum. The Italian picture is called "The Magdalen" and is the work of the distinguished provincial artist, Alessandro Bonvicino (1498-1554), called Moretto da Brescia. This picture is particularly interesting because it suggests certain Venetian types and at the same time illustrates so well a technical quality that marks the difference between the Venetian and Brescian art of the High Renaissance. Hero, as in so many of the best examples of the art of Brescia, there is harmony of cool silvery color.
The Flemish pictures are by masters as yet not identified. One is a delightful "Annunciation" in which the distinction rests largely in the beautiful interior in which the scene is set. The other picture is later in date and represents a "Crucifixion."
The three pictures will probably remain on exhibition for several weeks.
