Four-branched wall light in form of lyre (one of a set of four)
Object type: wall light

The celebrated bronze worker Pierre Gouthière supplied a pair of wall lights in the form of a lyre with the head of Apollo and olive-leaf branches for the salon of the Duchess of Mazarin. Sold at auction in 1781, the pair was acquired by the Duchess of Mazarin’s daughter, Louise-Félicité-Victoire d’Aumont, Duchess of Valentinois. The model was very successful and was frequently reproduced but with some changes such as this set which is based on Gouthière’s design but is smaller in size.

Watercress Gatherers, plate 62 from Liber Studiorum
Object type: print
Materials: paper
Techniques: etching, mezzotint
Location: england
Artist: joseph mallord william turner
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1775 – 1851

J. M. W. Turner is known primarily as a painter, but demonstrated his passion for landscape through printmaking in this mezzotint, which comes from a series of 71 prints called Liber Studiorum (Book of Studies). Turner categorized the types of landscape with a lettering system at the top of each sheet: A (Architectural), H (Historical), M (Marine or Mountainous), P (Pastoral), and the more obscure EP (Epic Pastoral). The play of light and shade on the water, mountains, fields, and distant views exemplifies Turner’s approach to landscape as an emotive interpretation of reality rather than a topographically accurate one. He chose to use mezzotint, an engraving process that creates tonal gradations similar to the effects of oil painting, to emphasize these light and dark effects.

Brigandine Plate
Object type: brigandine plate
Date: 1400 – 1450
Materials: metal alloy, textile
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.

One of a Pair of Temple Pendants, with Two Birds Flanking a Tree of Life (front) and Leaf and Rosette Motifs (back)
Object type: temple pendant
Date: 1001 – 1200
Materials: enamel, gold
Techniques: enamel
Culture: kyivan rus’
Location: ukraine
Subjects: birds

When Kyivan Rus, a powerful new state to the north of the Byzantine Empire, accepted Christianity as its official religion in 988, the aristocracy also adopted the manners and dress of the Byzantine court. Local artists soon produced their own versions of Constatinopolitan fashions. This temple pendant of precious metals worked in cloisonné enamel or niello are local variants of the more intricately detailed works made for the Byzantine court. As in Byzantium, temple pendants may have been worn next to the face by both the men and the women of Rus. The works shown here were perhaps buried by their owners when the Mongol armies under Batu Khan sacked Kyivan in 1240.

Plaque
Object type: ceramic
Date: 1879 – 1879
Materials: earthenware, enamel, glaze
Location: new york city
Artist: john bennett
Artist nationality: american
Artist dates: 1840 – 1907
Subjects: floral, chrysanthemums, flowers, vase
Inscriptions: Signed and dated bottom: "JBennett [J and B conjoined] / 412 East 24th Street, New York / 1879".

English ceramist John Bennett created the distinct style of this floral plaque by painting the design in tinted slip, or liquid clay and then finishing it with a clear glaze. Bennett first developed this technique while working at the London pottery firm Doulton and Company, but after exhibiting “Bennett ware” to great acclaim at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, the artist to relocated to New York. This plaque, produced shortly after he arrived in the United States, reveals his ongoing indebtedness to British Aesthetic Movement design, which looked to nature and often involved dense, all-over floral and foliage motifs.

Op de achtergrond rechts is te zien hoe Obadja, zodra hij Elia herkende, voor hem boog. Onder de voorstelling een verwijzing in het Latijn naar de Bijbeltekst in 1 Kon. 18.

Bust of King Amenemhat III
Object type: bust, amenemhat iii
Date: 1859 – 1813
Location: egypt
Subjects: kings,mk-kings

Close stylistic parallels to this bust were found at Karnak. Following the lead of these comparative pieces, one can reconstruct the complete work: the king would have been shown with his arms stretched forward and his hands flat on the starched front of his ceremonial kilt. The traditional gesture of prayer was directed in this case to the god Amun, lord of the Karnak temple. It is instructive to compare the warm and assured style of this Karnak image of Amenemhat III with the much harsher features of the sphinx of Senwosret III (from the same site) farther on the right. Egyptian art changed considerably in the course of a single generation.
