extensive provenance research on antiquities and European art in its collection, and the museum reached numerous ownership resolutions with Holocaust victims and foreign nations. Despite arguments with Guatemala in the late ’90s, the vast majority of repatriation inquiries resulted in mutually agreed conclusions with estates/heirs and countries, including Italy, Turkey, and Nigeria, as well as the resolution of Holocaust claims whenever justified. A non-combative approach to repatriation conversations with Italy led to a successful cultural partnership between the museum and the country. In 2003, Rogers established the Monica S. Sadler Curator for Provenance, an endowed role focused exclusively on collection-based provenance research, repatriation claims, and the rightful ownership of cultural property. The MFA's Curator of Provenance was the first position of its kind in the U.S. Rogers was criticized during his tenure at the MFA for his large salary and benefits packages that he received as director. In 2013, it was reported that he received a total compensation of over $900,000 including health and pension benefits and a housing allowance. However, in 2010 Rogers was named a Great Benefactor, recognizing gifts to the museum in excess of $2.5 million—the first MFA Director to earn this distinction. According to The Art Newspaper, Rogers supplied James Stunt with letters of opinion supporting the authenticity of paintings owned by Stunt, where the authorship of some of the works of art has described by other experts as questionable. Retirement Following his retirement from the MFA, Boston, Rogers returned to England and now lives with his partner in Broadway in the Cotswolds in a house that in the 1880s was the center of ‘the Broadway Colony’ of English and American artists and writers, among them John Singer Sargent, Edwin Austin Abbey, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Edmund Gosse, and Henry James. The house was owned by Francis Davis Millet, a Founder of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in 1870, who was offered but rejected the directorship of the MFA in 1906. Millet perished on the Titanic in 1912. Rogers continues to be deeply involved in the not-for-profit world as a volunteer and in the for-profit world as an authenticator of artworks.
