Vase

Materials: stoneware
Artist: frank a. butler
Artist role: maker
Artist nationality: british

Determined that pottery vessels should be regarded as true works of art, avant-garde ceramicists in France in the last decades of the nineteenth century transformed their craft into an intellectual and emotional endeavor. The pioneers of this revival were Jean Carriès, Ernest Chaplet, Théodore Deck, and Auguste Delaherche. These revolutionary artist-potters embraced artisanal traditions while pursuing lost techniques through exhaustive experimentation. Reacting to what they viewed as an excessive and improper use of ornament, they celebrated the simplicity and sincerity of their medium, following the tenets of the Art Nouveau style taking place in Europe. Based on the principles of the British Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau artists sought to reform the decorative arts by emphasizing uniqueness and a return to craftsmanship. Artist-potters found inspiration in Asian ceramics, particularly Japanese stoneware (a hard, dense type of pottery), which was shown in 1878 at the Exposition Universelle in Paris, as well as in the forms, glazes, and techniques of Chinese porcelain and pottery. They also looked to European traditions such as the rustic salt-glazed stoneware of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and Gothic sculpture and architecture. In the process they created works of ceramic art that were entirely modern and new. This piece was acquired from the Robert A. Ellison Collection, renowned collector of European art pottery of the highest quality by the greatest artist-potters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, whose generous gift allows the Museum to tell the narrative of the art pottery movement in Europe.

Bowl with fish and lotuses
Object type: bowl with fish and lotus
Date: 1550 – 1295
Materials: faience
Location: egypt

This charming little bowl is made in brilliant blue faience and decorated in black paint, including a thin black rim. The exterior of the shallow bowl is nicely rounded and shows an open lotus flower in top view with its pointed petals spreading across the surface. The bowl’s interior features a tilapia with two lotus stems emerging from its mouth. They extend to opposite sides of the bowl and end in closed buds. The fish as well as the open and closed lotus flowers on both sides of the vessel symbolize regeneration and rebirth. The lotus opens and closes with the sunlight which was seen as a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. The curious behavior of the tilapia to carry its egg in its mouth until they hatch, connected this fish with the power of life and regeneration. Additionally, the blue color of the faience contributed to the symbolism of this piece as it relates to the Nile water, which was life-bringing as well. Such decorated faience bowls, filled with potent symbols of regeneration, were used as grave goods as well as temple offerings for the goddess Hathor.

Forearm Defense (Vambrace)
Object type: forearm defense vambrace
Date: 1430 – 1430
Materials: steel
Culture: italian
Location: italy

This is part of a large find of medieval armor discovered in 1840 in the ruins of the fortress of Chalcis, on the Greek island of Euboea (then a Venetian colony called Negroponte). The fortress had been captured and destroyed by the Turks in 1470. Now divided largely between the Ethnological Museum, Athens, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Chalcis hoard contains many rare and unusual elements of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century armor. Of particular importance are the variety of headpieces and the many fragments of brigandines (armor for the torso constructed of small plates riveted to layers of fabric), some of which retain portions of their original velvet covering. The Chalcis armor provides a unique picture of the armament used in the Aegean, one of the easternmost military outposts of the Venetian empire.

Subjects: men,profiles

Pierre-Jean David d’Angers was the most prolific and one of the most important French sculptors of the first half of the nineteenth century. Throughout his almost fifty-year career (1819–1856) David remained true to his conviction that sculptural monuments dedicated to the achievements of great men and women most permanently and vividly express the greatness of a people. He continuously sought commissions for monuments portraying historical and contemporary figures whom he admired in order to commit their contributions to posterity. His most famous public commission, the figurative pediment of the Pantheon in Paris (1830–1837), which commemorates great men and was dedicated by a grateful nation, exemplifies these life-long principles. David d’Angers extended his definition of public monuments to include portrait medallions. In the 1820s he dedicated himself to a personal campaign of creating contemporary and retrospective medallic portraits of illustrious sitters. By the end of his life David had executed almost five-hundred portrait medallions, frequently travelling great distances to model his sitters from life. The medallions most often were not commissioned. David himself chose whom he deemed worthy of inclusion into his medallic pantheon. David also did not profit from the portraits. He generally delivered his wax models to professional founders for casting and dissemination through sale.

Dung Chen

Materials: brass
Culture: chinese
Location: china
Subjects: dragons

Although Confucianism remained the basis for the structure of government in China, it was Buddhism, introduced in the first century B.C.E., which flourished from the Han to the Tang (206 B.C.E.–C.E. 907). Among the instruments associated with Buddhism was the dung-chen, a long trumpet played for preludes, processions, and morning and evening calls to prayer. It was unusual for musical instruments to be enameled; cloisonné was usually reserved for containers, such as boxes or vases. This Tibetan-style long trumpet was among the many instruments made in China and sent as gifts to impress officials of bordering nations. Gifts of musical instruments and the musicians who played them were common in east Asia. This political custom promoted the dissemination of musical ideas. The dung-chen, like many Asian trumpets, collapses for storage.

Blinded and imprisoned by the Philistines, Samson destroyed the temple, killing himself and countless Philistines. According to the Bible story, Samson tore down two pillars. Because of the panel’s narrow dimensions, Heemskerck portrayed Samson with his arms wrapped around only one pillar.
