Brewster & Company History Established in 1810 by James Brewster (1788–1866) in New Haven, Connecticut, Brewster & Company, specialized in the manufacture of fine carriages. The founder opened a New York showroom in 1827 at 53-54 Broad Street, and the company flourished under generations of family leadership. Expansion necessitated moves around lower Manhattan, with name changes reflecting shifts of management–James Brewster & Sons operated at 25 Canal Street, James Brewster Sons at 396 Broadway, and Brewster of Broome Street was based at 372 & 374 Broome Street with a repository (showroom) on 14th Street & Fifth Avenue. By 1874, Brewster & Company had 400 employees and combined warehouse and factory facilities at 47th & 48th Streets and Broadway. Brewster successfully branched out to produce their own automobiles, as well as supplying bodies for Rolls Royce at their Long Island City location. Notable clientele included Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, August Belmont, J.P. Morgan, John Jacob Astor, Andrew J. Cassatt (brother of artist Mary Cassatt), William Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick and Pierre Lorillard. Talented draftsmen employed by the firm included Paul Steinbeck, Herman Stahmer and John Gribbon, the latter teaching at the Carriage Builders and Designers Technical School, which opened in 1880 and was housed initially at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When the company finally dissolved in 1923, its last owner William Brewster (1866–1949) donated its archive of design and presentation drawings to the Museum where he served as benefactor and trustee. Of all American carriage manufacturers, none was as highly regarded for design, finish and quality as Brewster & Company. They won many awards for outstanding workmanship, including the Legion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor) at the 1878 Paris Exposition (3rd World’s Fair). In appreciation for this achievement the Carriage Builders’ National Association presented them with a gold enameled Tiffany & Company plaque and autograph book signed by leading American carriage builders, both now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The ceiling, composed of detached frescoes of mythological subjects set into casts of the original stuccowork, was painted by Pinturicchio and his workshop as part of the decoration of a room in the Palazzo del Magnifico in Siena. The palace was constructed for the ruler of Siena, Pandolfo Petrucci, (1451–1512) called "Il Magnifico," whose coat-of-arms decorates the center of the ceiling. According to an eighteenth century description, the walls were frescoed with eight allegorical and mythological scenes by Signorelli, Girolamo Genga, and Pinturicchio. Six of these were detached in 1842/44 and are now in the National Gallery, London and the Pinacoteca Nazionale, Siena. There was also a wooden framework carved by Antonio Barili, parts of which are preserved in Siena, and a majolica tile floor, sections of which also survive. Some of the tiles are dated 1509, the year Pandolfo Petrucci's son, Borghese, married Vittoria Piccolomini, and the room must have been painted about this time. Pinturricchio was one of the first artists to explore Nero's Golden House in Rome, and the decoration of the present ceiling is based on a vault in the Golden House. The frescoes from the ceiling, badly damaged, were detached in 1912. One of twenty-two panels (14.114.1–.22) forming the ceiling from the Palace of Pandolfo Petrucci. The general distribution and partition of the ceiling appears to derive from that of a vaulted and painted ceiling in Nero's Golden House in Rome. Many of the individual figures also seem to derive from antique works of art– especially sarcophagi.

A soldier wearing a long blue cloak stands alone, with a spear in his right hand and a tall ovoid shield at his left. Celtic groups from Europe migrated eastward in 279 B.C. and established independent kingdoms in Thrace and central Asia Minor. Known as Galatians, they were used extensively as mercenary soldiers. Inscriptions identifying at least three Galatian soldiers who must have served under the Ptolemies occur on loculus slabs in the rather simple tomb found in 1884.

Roemer
Object type: roemer

Materials: glass

This roemer is a very appealing piece complements two outstanding examples of Dutch seventeenth-century roemers (04.24 and 27.185.236) of massive scale and top level craftsmanship. It is a comparative piece of more pedestrian manufacture and size more appropriate to daily use. Seen alongside a related goblet in the Museum's collection (27.185.213), this provides a complete gamut of scale graduations typical for this type of drinking vessel. From design and technique, this roemer is typical of Dutch, late seventeenth-, early eighteenth-century production, however a revival of taste for this type of object in the late nineteenth century heralded production of pastiche pieces, including catalogued works of this scale.

Colored with blue, yellow, black and traces of red, this fragment from a wall painting was excavated from the mound at Nishapur known as Sabz Pushan (the Green Covered). The excavations at Sabz Pushan revealed part of a residential neighborhood dating to the tenth century. This and several similar fragments were found deposited in the bottom of a well dug into the floor of what was likely a domestic unit after having been chipped off a wall and discarded, so their original location is not known. Several are now housed in the Metropolitan Museum, and include 38.40.268, 38.40.269, 38.40.270, 38.40.271.

Studies of the Head of an Infant (after a three-dimensional model)

Artist role: artist

Subjects: heads,infants

During the Italian Renaissance, drawing sculptures was a fundamental step in the training of a young draftsman. On this sheet, the artist known as Poppi (from his birthplace in Tuscany) drew a group of six studies of heads after a three-dimensional model, a sculpture or marble relief of a putto or a cherub. The artist changed his position point of view for each study, filling the page with the same motif from various angles in order to achieve a full understanding of its form and volume. The present sheet is directly comparable to a large series of drawings in the Uffizi, Florence done similarly from cast copies and sculptures. This type of smiling, or laughing, infant heads surprisingly resembles examples by Jacopo Sansovino (1486-1570). The sheet may date between Poppi’s 1572 trip to Rome - where he was greatly exposed to sculpture, both antique and contemporary - and 1574, the year of his admission to the Accademia del Disegno in Florence.
