The Round Tower, from "Carceri d'invenzione" (Imaginary Prisons)
Object type: print

Techniques: burnishing, engraving, etching
Artist: giovanni battista piranesi
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1720 – 1778
Subjects: prisons,stairs

A native of Venice, Piranesi went to Rome at age twenty and where he remained for the remainder of his life. Rome was the inspiration for and subject of most of his etchings that number over a thousand. Piranesi studied architecture, engineering and stage design, and his first plans for buildings reflect his training combined with the tremendous impact of classical Roman architecture. The fourteen plates depicting prisons - probably Piranesi's best-known series - were described on their title page as ‘capricious inventions.’ These structures, their immensity emphasized by the low viewpoint and the diminutive figures, derive from stage prisons rather than real ones. Actual prisons in the Italy were tiny dungeons. Spatial anomalies and ambiguities abound in all the images of the series; they were not meant to be logical but to express the vastness and strength that Piranesi experienced in contemplating Roman architecture. About ten years later, Piranesi reworked these plates and added two new images to the series. The reworked plates are even darker and more complex, with added details and inscriptions. While it is hard to find meaning in the first state of the series, the second state includes explicit references to the justice system under the Roman Republic and to the cruelty for which certain emperors were known.

Glass bottle in the shape of an animal
Object type: bottle in the form of an animal
Date: 201 – 300
Materials: glass
Culture: roman
Subjects: animals

Translucent pale yellow green; handle, applied bits, and trail of uncertain color. Vessel shaped to resemble a quadruped. Rounded, thickened rim with slightly outsplayed lip; tubular neck that curves down and round with tooling indent at base; sloping shoulder; small cylindrical body, tooled in to form separate globular section for head; thick irregular bottom, tooled out to form mouth; small squared loop handle applied to side of body. Trail wound seven times in a spiral around neck; four short legs with pinched feet applied to body; two long applied bits on head for ears, and two small blobs for eyes. Handle on animal's back for suspension. One section of trail on neck, one ear, and part of mouth missing, all with weathered breaks; dulling, pitting, and iridescence on body, with thick creamy iridescent weathering on applied handle, bits, and trail. Considerable time and effort have been taken to transform this utilitarian bottle into an amusing work of art. The vessel’s body is in the shape of an animal’s head and body, and the neck has been fashioned as its upturned tail. Ears and feet have been added as decoration, and a loop for suspension rests atop the back of this diminutive creature, which may be identified as the edible dormouse, a delicacy much loved by the Romans.
Termae Antoniane Imp. [formerly Palatium Se Lugduni], from a Series of 24 Depicting (Reconstructed) Buildings from Roman Antiquity
Object type: print ornament architecture
Techniques: engraving
Artist: anonymous, italian, 16th century
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1500 – 1600
Subjects: architecture,buildings

Perspectival view of a building in its ruined state, referred to here as the ‘Palatium Se Lugduni’, but changed in a later state to ‘Termae Anonianae Imp’. The latter, which refers to the complex now more generally known as the Baths of Caracalla may in fact be the correct identification of the source used for this print. This does not negate the fact that the printmaker may have intended to depict a Roman building in the city of Paris, however, as most of the prints in this series appear to have been made as a form of ekphrasis, and elements from existing architecture has been used on several occasions. The print is part of a group of architectural prints depicting buildings from Roman Antiquity, ranging from triumphal arches to bath houses, temples and palaces in Italy, France and Spain. Some of the buildings have been artificially reconstructed based on Medieval descriptions, while others are depicted in their ruinous states. The plates are known in several (uncatalogued) states, and have undergone minor changes over time. Several titles of buildings have been changed, and the plates have been cropped as a result of plate cracks and oxidation. The current print is known in a state before title, a second state with the title ‘Palatium Se Lugduni’ (refering to the ruins of Cluny III in Paris) and the current identification 'Termae Antonianae'. Due to damages, the plate edges were cut or filed several times, and as a result the fir tree on the right diminishes in size in later impressions.

"How Rustam Found a Spring", Folio from a Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Firdausi
Object type: folio from an illustrated manuscript

Location: iran
Artist: abu'l qasim firdausi
Artist role: author
Artist nationality: iranian
Artist dates: 935 – 1020
Subjects: animals,men,poets

The two miniatures 69.74.8 and 69.74.9 illustrate the first and second of Rustam's seven ordeals. The first depicts the frequently illustrated scene of Rustam's gallant horse Rakhsh killing a lion while the hero sleeps. The subject of the second miniature is, on the other hand, rarely depicted. Rustam and Rakhsh nearly die of heat and thirst in the desert before, with the help of divine providence, they find a spring. Rustam bathes and grooms his faithful steed by the water's edge, as seen here. The painter is very sympathetic to the closeness between the hero and his trustworthy Rakhsh.

Artist: margareta haverman
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: dutch
Artist dates: 1693 – 1722
Subjects: grapes,flowers,still life

Although only two of her works are known to survive today, Haverman was celebrated at a young age for her gifts as a flower painter. She studied with the notoriously secretive flower painter Jan van Huysum and later gained admission to the French Royal Academy in Paris. The artist’s skill is on full display in this magnificent arrangement of flowers and fruit, in which she used innovative pigments such as Prussian blue. Over time, the organic yellow lake pigment has faded, resulting in the present blue appearance of the leaves. Haverman’s confident signature appears as though incised in the plinth supporting the bouquet.

The Virgin as Mater Dolorosa
Object type: bust
Date: 1507 – 1510

Location: southern netherlands
Artist: pietro torrigiani
Artist role: sculptor
Artist dates: 1472 – 1528
Subjects: 'mater dolorosa' - ff - 'mater dolorosa', head or bust

This poignant bust of the Virgin, lamenting the death of her son, Jesus, was probably made by Pietro Torrigiani, an Italian living in Bruges, where he was in the service of Archduchess Margaret of Austria. For Margaret, herself a grieving widow, the theme of Mary’s mourning had
great resonance. The figure’s lifelike appearance made it easier to identify with the Virgin’s sorrow.
