The Knickknack Peddler
Object type: decorative art
Materials: ivory
Location: china

The knickknack peddler is a motif frequently featured in Chinese paintings. It has been celebrated for its meticulous depictions of various goods and the lively portrayals of the peddler and the young boys. On this object, the playful scene where the peddler eagerly approaches his young customers and carelessly leaves his goods unattended is captured through richly carved ivory. While adhering to the conventional composition of this scene in paintings, the circular shape of the medallion and the intricate relief carvings on the sumptuous ivory surface infuse this familiar image with a distinct dynamism.

The reverse side of the medallion is decorated with carved floral patterns. The three small holes at the center indicate that the object was probably strung and hung, yet its precise function remains unknown.

Artist: evert duyckinck
Artist role: maker
Artist nationality: american, born netherlands
Artist dates: 1617 – 1703
Subjects: coat of arms

Evert Duyckinck was one of the earliest artists in glass in this country. When he immigrated with his family to New Amsterdam in 1638, he was recorded in historic documents variously as a “glass stainer,” or a “limner.” This window, which is decorated with the Van Rensselaer coat of arms, was one of several armorial panels given in 1656 to the First Dutch Reformed Protestant Church of Beverwyck (present-day Albany), New York. The donor of this example was Jan Baptist Van Rensselaer, director of the large estate known as Rensselaerwyck. After the church was demolished in 1805, the window was installed at the head of the staircase in the Van Rensselaer Manor House. The entry hall from that house can be seen on the second floor of the American Wing (gallery 752).

Blind Homer Led by the Genius of Poetry
Object type: sculpture
Date: 1851 – 1851
Materials: marble
Culture: american
Artist: edward sheffield bartholomew
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: american
Artist dates: 1822 – 1858
Subjects: homer,men,authors

One of many American neoclassical sculptors who worked in Italy during the mid-nineteenth century, Bartholomew had a brief but successful career. "Blind Homer Led by the Genius of Poetry" attests to his command of the illusionistic and technical challenges of relief sculpture. The figures project convincingly as Poetry leads Homer across a plinth. They are dressed in classical garb that clings to their bodies yet falls in stylizing folds, suggesting the pull between realism and idealism often evident in mid-nineteenth-century American sculpture. This relief—and indeed many by Bartholomew and other Americans—reflects the profound influence of Italian sculptor Antonio Canova, especially in the crisp linearity of form and refined carving. The marble is surrounded by its original gilt frame.
Study of a female nude, seated
Object type: drawing
Date: 1870 – 1879
Materials: chalk
Artist: george richmond
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1809 – 1896
Subjects: female nudes

This sensitively drawn figure study likely dates to the later decades of Richmond’s career and demonstrates his ongoing commitment to life drawing, perhaps as a form of relief from his demanding career as a portraitist. Even when inundated with commissions to depict members of the Victorian elite, Richmond never forgot his youthful association with the Ancients, an idealistic brotherhood of artists led by Samuel Palmer, or his study trips to Italy in 1837 and 1840. Evident here is his lifelong admiration for the nudes of Michelangelo and Titian and his devotion to the study of the human body, sensuously and confidently described using red and black chalk.

Hemidrachm (Coin) Depicting the God Zeus Amarios
Object type: coin
Date: 191 – 146
Materials: silver
Culture: greek
Subjects: gods (deities), zeus

The use of coins as a form of money was invented in western Asia Minor in the early 7th century BCE. Early on, Greece was made up of separate city-states that issued their own currency. Made of gold, silver, bronze, and electrum (a gold-silver alloy), coins were literally worth their weight, but their value varied according to the percentage of their precious metal content. Occasionally a city needed more money than it had in reserves. By reducing the amount of precious metal and substituting a base metal, a coin could be produced of the same weight but no longer of the same value. Some currency was only honored within its own city walls, but trustworthy money encouraged trade. Athens had the biggest economy, and its coin became the standard in the Greek world.The population was largely illiterate, but it could identify the place of origin of a coin by its imagery. Many of these images referred to myths that were associated with the history of the community and thus were well known to the populace from religious ceremonies and theatrical entertainment. The story of a city’s founding, a local hero, the city’s guardian deity, and even the reason for the city’s wealth were subjects for a coin’s insignia.
