The obverse bears a portrait of Jean Parisot de la Vallette (1494 – 1568), Grand Master of the Order of Saint John at Malta (1557 – 68). On the reverse is a fleet of galleys attacking an elephant with a female rider, and a fortified town, possibly La Valletta, in the background. Jean de la Vallette was the founder of the Maltese capital of La Valletta, which was named after him. The medal commemorates the building of the fortified city as an important stronghold against the Turks. The elephant either represents Africa, welcoming the knights of Saint John, or the Turkish invasion from the sea. References: Scholten, Frits. The Robert Lehman Collection.

Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1853 – 1914
Subjects: men,portraits

Born into a distinguished family of scientists and statisticians, Bertillon began his career as a clerk in the Identification Bureau of the Paris Prefecture of Police in 1879. Tasked with maintaining reliable police records of offenders, he developed the first modern system of police identification. The system, which became known as Bertillonage, had three components: anthropometric measurement, precise verbal description of the prisoner’s physical characteristics, and standardized photographs of the face. In the early 1890s Paris was subject to a wave of bombings and assassination attempts carried out by anarchist proponents of "propaganda of the deed." One of Bertillon’s greatest successes came in March 1892, when his system of identification led to the arrest of an anarchist bomber who went by the name Ravachol (2005.100.375.348). The publicity surrounding the case earned Bertillon the Legion of Honor and encouraged police departments around the world to adopt his anthropometric system.

Amaranthus and Mynah Bird
Object type: hanging scroll
Date: 1722 – 1785
Materials: paper
Culture: japanese
Artist: kakutei (kaigan jōkō)
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: japanese
Artist dates: 1722 – 1785

Kaigan Jōkō spent his early years as a priest at Shōfukuji 聖福寺, an Ōbaku Zen temple in his native Nagasaki, where he also studied painting under Kumashiro Yūhi 熊代熊斐 (1712–1773), the most prominent Japanese student of the Chinese émigré painter Shen Quan (Shen Nanpin; 1682–1760), who had spent several years in Nagasaki in the early 1730s. Yūhi nurtured numerous students in Nagasaki, giving rise to a network of painters that would come to be known as the Nanpin school or Nagasaki school. Yūhi’s two top disciples, Kaigan Jōkō (better known by his sobriquet Kakutei) and Sō Shiseki 宋紫石 (1715–1786) are credited with transmitting the school’s colorful, naturalistic style of bird-and-flower painting to the cities of Kyoto and Edo, respectively. In this picture, Kakutei depicts a mynah bird flying above a rock and large pink-colored amaranthus, the characters of whose Chinese-origin Japanese name, ganraikō, literally means “crimson of the goose’s arrival,” referring to the plant’s autumnal transformation. Moving away from the Shen Nanpin derived styles promoted by his teacher, here Kakutei uses the so-called boneless method to depict the amaranthus’s leaves without contour lines. Kakutei’s influence on better known painters in eighteenth-century Kyoto such as Itō Jakuchū and Ike Taiga is often noted.

Bowl with Arabic Inscription
Object type: bowl
Date: 901 – 1000
Materials: earthenware, glaze
Location: iran
Subjects: arabic

The calligraphic decoration on this bowl reads "Planning before work protects you from regret; prosperity and peace," but the shortening, bending, and elongation of the letters has transformed the words into abstract motifs of tremendous power. With its monumental presence and the artful arrangement of its letters, in which vertical flourishes punctuate the horizontal flow of the words at rhythmic intervals, this bowl stands out among the many other inscribed ceramics of the same period.
