Camel
Object type: crèche figure
Date: 1751 – 1800
Materials: leather, plaster
Techniques: polychrome
Subjects: camels

In 1964, Loretta Hines Howard generously presented to the Museum over 140 Neapolitan crèche figures, dating from the second half of the eighteenth century. The varied assortment includes figures from the three traditional scenes of a complete Neapolitan presepio: the Nativity, with angels, shepherds, and sheep; the procession of the three Magi, with their colorful retinue of attendants; and the varied and gay crowd of country and town people thronging the tavern, or inn, of Bethlehem — the diversorium mentioned by St. Luke, where on the Holy Night there was no place for Mary and Joseph. Averaging between twelve and fifteen inches in height, according to the position they were to take in perspective in the stage set, the figures are pliable and can be given poses at will, according to their facial expressions. Their bodies are made of tow and wire, their arms and legs are finely carved of wood, and their heads and shoulders are modeled of terracotta and accurately finished. Their attire, often enriched by accessories, jewels, and embroideries, is a sheer joy for the lover of folklore and eighteenth-century costumes. According to a tradition that seems to be supported by stylistic comparisons with figures in the collections of Naples and in the vast holdings of the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, some of the winsome heads of the Howard angels are to be credited to the best eighteenth-century masters: Giuseppe Sammartino (1720–1793), well known for his monumental sculptures in marble and in stucco, his pupils Salvatore di Franco, Giuseppe Gori, and Angelo Viva, and one Lorenza Mosca (d. 1789), who was employed at the Royal Porcelain Factory at Capodimonte and stage director of the Royal Christmas Crib. Since Mrs. Howard's gift, the Museum has recreated the Neapolitan Christmas crib scene, much to the delight of visitors during the holiday season.

Artist dates: 1808 – 1879

Honoré Daumier made ample fun of the voluminous wire frame skirt known as crinoline, which had been criticized for hiding the natural human form. These women use them to take flight. The fashion was not entirely without defenders: in his 1858 work De la mode (On Fashion), Théophile Gautier commended the skirt as offering a statuesque pedestal to set off the bust and head. The evolution to the crinoline skirt, from its precursor the petticoat, can be seen in the Art Institute’s summer 2013 exhibition, Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity.

Textile Fragment
Object type: fragment
Date: 1540 – 1540
Materials: metal thread, silk, velvet
Techniques: cutting, voiding
Location: iran
Subjects: birds,men,dragons

This velvet fragment is said to have once formed part of the interior of a tent used by Kara Mustapha Pasha during the second Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683. The tent probably was captured from the Turkish army as war booty. These types of Safavid velvets were also used for furnishings, cushions, and ceremonial robes, and were produced in a royal workshop in Tabriz. The Safavid court favored figurative velvets that depicted hunting, a recreational passion of Persian royalty, or, in some cases, scenes from poetic texts. This fragment features a recurring motif—a young hero hurling a rock at a dragon, watched by two birds on a nearby tree.
Jar sherd
Object type: jar
Date: 4000 – 3001
Materials: ceramic, paint
Culture: iranian
Location: iran

This sherd comes from the shoulder of a ceramic jar, likely one with a squat, globular body and a flaring rim. It is made of a buff clay with a cream slip, with painted brown geometric decoration on the exterior. It was excavated at Tall-i Nokhodi, a prehistoric site in southwestern Iran occupied during the fourth and third millennia B.C. Excavations have been limited in scope, but the presence of ovens there suggest it was a small settlement. Metal finds from the site, including a cast bronze axe head, indicate a precious metalworking industry there, one which prefigures the magnificent and extensive bronzeworking of the neighboring Elamites in centuries to come. This sherd was excavated in 1962 by the British Institute of Persian Studies. However, the Met acquired it in 1978 as a result of its financial contributions to the Institute’s excavations at Tepe Nush-i Jan, another site in Iran. At the time the Iranian government allowed foreign excavators to keep a portion of the finds, and these excavators in turn would divide their share among the institutions that supported the work.

Artist role: artist

Subjects: architecture,buildings

Maxime Du Camp's mission to Egypt and the Near East in 1849-51 to make a photographic survey of monuments and sites is well documented in his writings and in those of his fellow traveler, Gustave Flaubert. After an initial stay in Cairo, the two friends hired a boat to take them up the Nile as far as the second cataract, after which they descended the river at leisure, exploring the archaeological sites along its banks. In July 1850 they left Egypt for Palestine, Turkey, and Greece before they parted in Italy the following April. Du Camp's album "Egypte, Nubie, Palestine et Syrie," published in 1852 and containing 125 photographs printed by Blanquart-Evrard, brought its author instant fame. In addition to the published edition, Du Camp arranged for a private printing of a few portfolios, such as the one in the Gilman collection, which numbers 174 images particularly noteworthy for their warm color and luminescence. Possibly printed in Gustave Le Gray's studio, the present portfolio is thought to have been in the collection of the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. A journalist with no experience in photography, Du Camp learned the craft from Le Gray shortly before his departure for Egypt.

West wall of the chapel of Kaemsenu with niches for Iretnub, Kaemsenu and Werdjedptah
Object type: relief, chapel of kaemsenu, iretnub, kaemsenu, werdjedptah niche
Date: 2420 – 2250
Materials: limestone, paint
Location: egypt

Kaemsenu was a priest associated with the cult of King Sahure, with the sun temple of King Neferirkare, and with the pyramid of King Niuserre. The wall of his chapel incorporates three offering niches: the one on the left for his wife Iretnub, in the center for himself, and on the right for Werdjedptah (probably a relative) and his wife. One of Kaemsenu's statues has been placed behind the wall where it originally sat in the small serdab (statue chamber) and is visible through a slot in the wall. The hieroglyphs preserve an array of colors: pale yellow, red and brown from ochers, green from malachite, blue from Egyptian blue (a composite material used as a colorant), white from gypsum, and black from a form of carbon. In many cases, the pigments clearly were chosen to approximate the colors that the figures and objects forming the hieroglyphs would have had in nature. Other choices are less obvious-such as the blue consistently used to represent pots that are known to us in copper. Final outlines are either in red or black, depending apparently on which seemed to complement the colors of the sign.
Length
Object type: length
Date: 1601 – 1700
Materials: silk
Subjects: birds,cupid,flowers

The complicated figural composition and the color combination of red and yellow, as well as the choice of materials and technique, relate this fabric to earlier traditions in Florentine weaving. In this example, disparate decorative motifs, arranged in a fluid, nearly narrative manner, have a convincing coexistence despite their symmetrical arrangement: dolphins' tails merge into a cartouche that in turn forms the support for an elaborate vase, which is simultaneously a container for a variety of flowers, in whose leaves nest two birds, and a ledge for two winged figures that confront the amorini, bows and arrows at their feet, below. That this particular composition, with motif variations, is also known in different color schemes and fabric types attests to its popularity as a design for a number of furnishing uses.

Letter Enclosing Flowers

Okada Hankō devoted himself to Confucian studies and painting in the style of Chinese Ming and Qing masters, as had his father, Okada Beisanjin (1744–1820). This letter to a friend, written when the artist was forty-nine, offers a gift of flowers arranged in a Chinese style, a practice cultivated by Japanese literati. The amusing twist: the gift was not actual flowers but flower sketches, executed in a charmingly free manner that reflects the spontaneous, personal quality espoused by Nanga (literati) painters in emulation of Chinese scholar-artists.
