I spent what remained of the morning in the John G. Johnson Collection, acquired by a public spirited lawyer in the years after the Civil War, travelling to Europe with P.A.B. Widener, a schoolfriend and seeking advice on his acquisitions from the likes of Berenson and Roger Fry:-
A head of St. John the Baptist:-
A German miserichord:-
A Bernardo Daddi Altarpiece (1334):-
A Botticelli Predella:-
A Crivelli:-
He had a van Eyck of St. Francis of Assisi Receiving the Stigmata:-
