Imperial Carts (Gosho guruma)
Object type: screen
Date: 1634 – 1666
Materials: gold, gold leaf, ink, panel, paper
Culture: japanese
Subjects: carts

In ancient and medieval Kyoto, the imperial family and nobility rode in carriages drawn by oxen. In this depiction of three carriages, lowered bamboo blinds tantalizingly suggest the presence of an elegant lady or nobleman. This image alludes to several classic literary scenes, among them an event from the “Leaves of Wild Ginger” (Aoi) chapter in The Tale of Genji, in which attendants of Genji’s wife and his former lover create a crush of carts as they compete for the best position from which to view the Kamo festival in Kyoto. Such beautifully appointed vehicles, decorated with a wild ginger motif, were a popular subject for decorative art objects and textiles. Lacking evidence of a dispute, the composition is a decorative representation of carts set among the delicate pink blossoms of early summer. The painting convention of omitting human presence, common in the decorative arts, came to be called the “motif of absence” (rusu moyō).

As a prolific itinerant portraitist in the Connecticut River valley, Stock kept a journal of his daily activities, recording that he painted more than nine hundred works between 1832 and 1846. From the age of eleven, Stock was paralyzed from the waist down. He was able to travel in later years with the aid of a specially designed wheelchair. The children seen here are thought to be those of the artist’s younger brother, Isaac C. Stock, and sister-in-law, Sarah Hunt Stock, of Springfield, Massachusetts. Painting his subjects at full length, the artist employed colorful props in a detailed interior containing flat, abstract elements that are appealing to the modern eye.

This print comes from the museum’s copy of the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (The Mirror of Roman Magnificence) The Speculum found its origin in the publishing endeavors of Antonio Salamanca and Antonio Lafreri. During their Roman publishing careers, the two foreign publishers - who worked together between 1553 and 1563 - initiated the production of prints recording art works, architecture and city views related to Antique and Modern Rome. The prints could be bought individually by tourists and collectors, but were also purchased in larger groups which were often bound together in an album. In 1573, Lafreri commissioned a title page for this purpose, which is where the title ‘Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae’ first appears. Lafreri envisioned an ideal arrangement of the prints in 7 different categories, but during his lifetime, never appears to have offered one standard, bound set of prints. Instead, clients composed their own selection from the corpus to be bound, or collected a group of prints over time. When Lafreri died, two-third of the existing copper plates went to the Duchetti family (Claudio and Stefano), while another third was distributed among several publishers. The Duchetti appear to have standardized production, offering a more or less uniform version of the Speculum to their clients. The popularity of the prints also inspired other publishers in Rome to make copies however, and to add new prints to the corpus. The museum’s copy of the Speculum entered the collection as a group of 3 albums with inlaid engravings and etchings. The prints have since been removed, but the original place of each print within the album is contained in the accession number: 41.72(volume.place). Originally volume 2, plate 28 in the scrapbook.

Fantastic and real creatures, juxtaposed within roundels, abound on the carved surface of this hunting horn. Ivory tusks of this type, used as reliquaries or symbols of land tenure, were apparently produced for both Muslim and Christian patrons in the medieval Islamic period. Similar motifs in contemporary textiles reveal the popularity of this repeating design.

Parody of the Noh Play "Hakurakuten"
Object type: print
Date: 1766 – 1766

Techniques: woodblock print
Culture: japanese
Artist: suzuki harunobu
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: japanese
Artist dates: 1725 – 1770
Subjects: men,women,actors,boats

Hakurakuten is a classic Noh play dealing with the intellectual debate on the relative attainments of Japanese and Chinese culture: has the Japanese waka poem achieved superiority over the venerated Tang Chinese poem? The play presents this debate in the form of a discussion between Bo Juyi (Hakurakuten) and Sumiyoshi Myōjin, the Japanese god of waka. Harunobu's print is a delightfully ludicrous rendition of this high-minded contest, substituting a Japanese girl for the god of waka and a Korean ambassador for the Chinese poet. He wears a square pendant and an official Korean costume with a high waist. Instead of poetry as the measure of national culture, the opponents face each other with paintings. Despite the pride he feels about the Chinese (or Korean) ink painting, Bo Juyi (or the Korean ambassador) cannot help but wistfully place his finger in his mouth in a traditional gesture of envy, a sign of his admiration for his lovely competitor with her painting in the Japanese ukiyo-e style.

Curb Bit
Object type: bit
Date: 1601 – 1700
Materials: copper alloy, gold, metal alloy
Culture: bit
Location: netherlands

According to contemporary equestrian manuals, this mouthpiece was designed for a horse good on the bit, with a good mouth but the tongue a bit thick. The scatches, (flattened triangular elements composing this mouthpiece), were slightly stronger in their effect and more resistant than the traditional conical canons also used at the time. The cheekpieces are entirely adorned with chiseled and stamped decoration, partly gilded, also found on other mid-17th century Netherlandish and German equestrian material such as spurs. The two bosses of cast copper alloy, gilded and pierced with cherubs heads and chimeras' busts, are riveted to an iron circular disc, itself attached to the cheekpieces. This type of decoration is found on many German works of art around 1600. However, they probably do not originally belong to this bit.

Death on the Battlefield, from 'The five deaths' (Les cinq Morts)
Object type: print
Date: 1650 – 1664
Materials: graphite, ink
Techniques: etching, pen
Artist: stefano della bella
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1610 – 1664
Subjects: battles,skeletons,horses

Stefano della Bella's first set of oval prints illustrating the triumph of Death included a battlefield scene. This horizontal version, in which the Grim Reaper approaches the skirmish on a skeletal horse, probably dates to the same years. Our sheet is a trial impression; the artist has sketched in two ideas for the position of Death's right arm, reinforcing the one he would use in the finished print, and has added a number of warriors to the background. Evidently, Della Bella did not work from a highly finished drawing but continued to compose as he worked on the etching plate. Jombert and De Vesme date the print to around 1648. There is a strong connection between the print and a sculpture of the figure of Death on horseback also the collection of The Met (17.190.729).
View of the Villa La Petraia, in Vedute delle ville, e d'altri luoghi della Toscana (page 33)

Subjects: gardens,men,women,carts

At the center of Tuscan villa culture were the acclaimed, originally sixteenth-century villas of the Medici family in and around Florence. In addition to the Villa La Petraia (1575–90) and neighboring Villa Castello, the best-known surviving villas of the family are the magnificently situated Villa Medici at Fiesole (1460s), the stately villa at Poggio a Caiano (ca. 1479), and the unusual villa-park at Pratolino (1569–86). The Villa La Petraia, with its central belvedere overlooking the Arno valley, was built on the spot of an old manor by Bernardo Buontalenti (ca. 1570), architect of the Tuscan Grand Ducal Court. Zocchi's refined drawing, after which the prints were made, shows the hazy atmosphere of villa and garden in the warm light of a Tuscan afternoon. A popular collector's item throughout the eighteenth century, Zocchi's beautiful book encouraged many Englishman and other Northern Europeans to visit Italy and not only study but experience firsthand villa life and the art and architecture.

The Young Emperor Akbar Arrests the Insolent Shah Abu’l-Maali, Page from a Manuscript of the Akbarnama
Object type: painting
Materials: gold, paper, watercolor
Techniques: painting
Location: india
Artist: basawan
Artist nationality: Indian
Subjects: men, horses, animals, guns, swords, birds

This is a page from the Akbarnama (Book of Akbar), a lavishly illustrated manuscript commissioned by the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556–1605) to document the history of his rule. The scene depicts the emperor at age thirteen, three days after his accession. Seated on a gold throne placed on a carpeted platform, Akbar watches as his late father’s favorite is arrested for his insolent behavior toward the young emperor. The setting—a tented encampment pitched in a garden—is significant, for Akbar spent much of his reign on the move. Through his active campaigning and strong administrative skills, he greatly expanded the Mughal Empire, consolidating and securing it for his successors. In addition, he was a great patron of the arts, initiating a new style of painting and establishing a vast atelier and library.

One of the new themes the emperor encouraged was the painting of historical manuscripts such as the Akbarnama. Commissioned in 1589, it was written by court historian and biographer Abu’l Fazl between 1590 and 1596. Simultaneously, a workshop of about fifty artists illustrated the text. Basawan, the designer of this painting, whose signature appears in the lower margin in red, was one of the studio’s leading painters. He was particularly skilled in portraiture and is known to have painted the faces of the young emperor and the two other figures in front of him: the regent Bairam Khan, who is standing, and the disgraced Shah Abu’l-Ma'ali, who crouches in a red robe. He also painted some of the nearby scenery, which attracted his interest; each painting was collaborative work and could take up to a month to complete.
