Two Dogs, from "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae"
Object type: print
Date: 1558 – 1558
Techniques: engraving
Artist: sebastiano di re
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1557 – 1563
Subjects: dogs

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 87 in the scrapbook.

Twee mannen staan buiten in een open veld, elk met een schoffel (udalla) aan een lange stok. Ze dragen beiden alleen een kleine lendendoek (lanket, lunket) die het kruis bedekt en de billen bloot laat. Het lange golvende haar van beide mannen hangt los over de schouders. De man links staat licht voorovergebogen, voeten uit elkaar. Met beide handen houdt hij de stok vast met de schoffel die voor hem op de grond rust. De man rechts – mogelijk dezelfde figuur – staat recht overeind, met zijn linkervoet een stap naar voren, linkerarm langs het lijf. Met de rechterhand houdt hij het uiteinde van de schoffelstok vast die over de rechterschouder ligt, met de schoffel naar achter. Deze man(nen) zijn Singalese landbouwers behorend tot de Goviya-kaste. Er wordt duidelijk geposeerd voor de tekenaar met het werktuig gebruikt om de dijkjes te maken in een rijstveld.

Subjects: flowers

By the mid-nineteenth century, Americans were experiencing an era of innovation in science and industry. Among the latter was the jewelry industry, which, like fashions in dress, looked to Europe for inspiration. A nostalgic romanticism infused contemporary styles in both England and America. Such mid-eighteenth-century motifs as flowers and scrolls began to reappear. This lovely half-set of brooch and earrings emulates French and English designs in the use of dark blue enamel set with diamonds and pearls. Enameling was still a little-practiced art in America, requiring the skills of a specialized craftsman. The process involved heating vitreous (glassy) enamels to bond them onto a metal surface, in this case gold. This jewelry is still housed in its original box, the lid of which is imprinted with the name and address of the jeweler: E. W. BURR / 573 B.WAY / NEW-YORK. City directories indicate that Edward Burr moved to 573 Broadway by 1858, helping us to establish a date for the set.

This object was excavated at Nishapur. Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. These itineraries are often referred to by the term ‘Silk routes’ but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur – from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and architectural fragments. Nishapur lost its political prominence due to a series of earthquakes and invasions that peaked in the thirteenth century. Today, the medieval city is a vast archaeological area, while the relatively small modern city is situated to its north. Instead Mashhad, a major pilgrimage site, emerged as a major prosperous metropolis in the region. Between 1935 and 1948, the "Persian Expedition" of the Metropolitan Museum of Art excavated at several sites at Nishapur under an agreement with the Iranian authorities. American archaeologists and hundreds of Iranian workers excavated archaeological areas named Tepe Madrasa, Village Tepe, Sabz Pushan, Qanat Tepe, Tepe Alp Arslan, Vineyard Tepe, among others. They uncovered vast neighborhoods with mostly residential buildings, but also mosques, bathhouses, and possibly a governmental palace. Two main chronological phases were recognized in the sites: the first covers the ninth-tenth centuries and the second covers the eleventh-twelfth centuries. Thousands of artifacts were also recovered, mostly ceramic, glass, metal, and stone vessels, as well as carved and painted stuccoes and wall paintings, which were divided in half between the two countries, resulting in over four thousand objects in the Met’s collection today.

Ottavio Leoni was renowned for his portraits, which he drew from life in colored chalk and later engraved. His advanced command of engraving and his use of stippling are evident in this print of the artist Giovanni Baglione, who decades earlier had implicated Leoni in a libel suit waged against Caravaggio. Baglione’s painting The Ecstasy of Saint Francis of Assisi of 1601 is also in the Art Institute collection (2002.378).

Seventeenth-Century Interior
Object type: painting
Date: 1877 – 1877
Materials: canvas, oil
Location: munich
Artist: charles gifford dyer
Artist nationality: american
Artist dates: 1846 – 1912
Inscriptions: Signed, l.l.: "CHARLES G. DYER: MUNICH 1877."

Chicagoan Charles Gifford Dyer studied painting in Paris and Munich. The objects depicted in this canvas, such as the Chinese blue-and-white vase and Oushak Turkish lotto rug, were likely collected during his extensive travels and represent the tastes of a worldly, wealthy man. The painting recalls 17th-century Dutch compositions in its focus on surfaces, textures, and illusionism. Like moralistic Dutch still life paintings, it evokes the fleetingness of life (vanitas) by juxtaposing objects that quickly decay, such as fruit and flowers, with the enduring arts of literature and music. The crisscross pattern of the parquet floor and the draped rug create spatial depth, offering a portrait of the Gilded Age, a time when an expanding economy encouraged the rich to collect such treasures.

De platen (RP-D-2014-9-1 t/m 35) zijn vrijwel allemaal vervaardigd door anonieme graveurs werkend voor de Antwerpse uitgevers Cornelis Galle, Frans Huberti (Huybrechts), Theodor van Merlen II en Michel Bunel. Vermoedelijk zijn ze uiteindelijk beland in één fonds, wellicht dat van Michel Bunel (1670-1739) en warden sindsdien bij elkaar bewaard. Afwijkend is de grote prent van Henry Verbruggen met een weergave van de Preekstoel uit de St. Gudule-kerk te Brussel. Twee prenten zijn verpakt in een oude afdruk van de prent, zoals te doen gebruikelijk in uitgeverijen (vergl. oude platen in Museum Plantijn Moretus, Antwerpen). Van 8 platen heeft de vorige eigenaar afdrukken laten maken op modern papier.
