Last week to the San Diego Fine Arts Gallery went Mr. & Mrs. Henry Holiday Timken (roller bearings) of Canton, Ohio bearing as gifts three large and very expensive oil paintings: a Penitent Magdalen by the 17th Century Spanish sentimentalist Murillo; a Sybil by Murillo's contemporary Ribera, exhibiting his usual spotlight effect; and largest, most expensive of all, a Holy Family presumably from the brush of Peter Paul Rubens. Because Rubens is known to have employed a factory of pupils and assistants, and every Rubens painting is suspect, the usual battle of Rubenographers arose last week. Two similar Holy...
...same wall is a "Portrait of a Preacher of Holland" by Franz Hals, a striking contrast to the Rembrandt in its breadth. Both pictures add examples of the Dutch School which up until this time have not been represented in the Fogg Museum collection except by occa- Family" by Murillo, as well as one of the many versions of El Greco's subject, "Christ Driving the Money-Changers from the Temple." Several Italian primitives and other Flemish and Dutch works are also included in the bequest...
...announcement that the Fogg Museum is to receive an art collection which includes portraits by such old masters as Rembrandt, Hals, Murillo, and El Greco is most welcome. Usually, when rare items are offered at public auction the large metropolitan museums are able to outbid their less affluent collegiate competitors, so Harvard is to be considered fortunate in gaining so fine a legacy, which otherwise might never have found its way to Cambridge.

...from reality. Death was best. Moussorgsky died but Boris lived on, to furnish one of the strangest case histories in the literature of music. Composed in 1874, it was until last year known to the world only in a prettified version as unlike that of the original as if Murillo had painted over an El Greco, as if Tennyson had rewritten William Blake. Rimsky-Korsakov, good friend of Moussorgsky, composer of Sheherazade, La Coq d'Or and Sadko, professor and purist, had been the one to perform this doubtful service for Boris. He ironed out the harshnesses, modified...
