Galleries XIV, XV, XVI, and XVII of the Fogg Museum, which were used until April 6 to hold the Exhibition of Nineteenth Century French Paintings, have been hung with several new acquisitions, new loans, and pictures which previously belonged to the Museum.

In Gallery XVII there are several notable loans which will probably remain in the Museum's hands over the summer. Mr. Samuel Sachs of New York City has lent three pictures. Of these two are by Poussin, one representing the Holy Family and the other a classical scene. "Diana" by Tintoretto, a picture which Mr. Sachs lends annually to the Fogg for a period of six months, also appears in this gallery. John Nicholas Brown '22 has lent to the Museum an excellent picture by El Greco entitled "Saint Dominic." Most of the important paintings which were removed from this room to make space for the French exhibition have been returned from storage, among them the Ross Tintoretto.

Gallery XIV contains a small exhibition of nineteenth and twentieth century French drawings and paintings. Several of these have been held over from last month's French Show, but a great many of them are anonymous loans - which have not previously appeared in the Fogg. Among these are drawings by Matisse, Degas, and Picasso. There is also a "Head" by Zak which was recently given to the Museum by Mr. A.C. Goodyear.

In Gallery XV there has been installed an exhibition of prints representative of the decorative arts. The fifteenth century Italian and German engravings have been chosen because of the manner in which they illustrate the furniture, metal work, textiles, and architectural treatment of exteriors and interiors during this period. Schongauer's "Life of the Virgin" is among the best known of the works in this group.

In the art of the sixteenth century Albrecht Durer is represented by his "Life of the Virgin" which clearly shows methods of lighting utilized in his time, the styles of furniture, and sanitary facilities. Other engravings by Durer include a design for lace, and his famous "St. Jerome in his Cell," which illustrates a porcelain slove. A picture by Lucas Granach splendidly portrays a suit of sixteenth century armor.

Similarly the newly collected cuts from the "Dance of Death" by Hans Holbein. "The Death of the Virgin" by Rembrandt, and works by Abraham Bosse tell much about the manner of life of people in the seventeenth century. Prints by Boucher and Fragonnard, flower designs for wall-paper and textiles after Pillemont, and a reproduction of Hogarth's "Marriage a la Mede" are illustrative of the decorative arts in the eighteenth century.

The American collection owned by the Fogg Museum has been reinstalled in Gallery XVI. In the Great Hall there appear three sixteenth century Flemish tapestries representing the "Glory of the Virgin" which have been lent to the Museum by Mr. Felix Warburg of New York City, and a fourth tapestry which is believed to be from the same series but which has been lent anonymously.
