Sold into slavery as a boy, Jean-Baptiste Belley (1746–1805) bought his freedom in 1764. Belley fought in the American War of Independence and served as a captain in the French army during the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804) fighting to abolish slavery on the island of Saint-Domingue (now Hispaniola). In 1793 he was elected to the National Convention in Paris, becoming its first black deputy.
Belley wears the uniform of a representative to the Convention. As we know from the painting for which this is a highly finished study or copy drawing, his hat feathers and sash are the colors of the French Republic: blue, white, and red. He leans against a marble plinth supporting a bust of the French philosopher and enemy of slavery Guillaume Raynal (1713–1796).

Racing [The Start]
Object type: print
Techniques: etching
Artist: thomas rowlandson
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1757 – 1827
Subjects: satire,men,women,horses,carriages

Spectators seated in carriages, on horseback, and on foot, line a course to watch a horse race--the stout rider scattering figures at right is not a racer but a spectator whose mount runs out of control. The print comes from a group by Rowlandson devoted to moments in horse racing--interestingly none shows a finish. When first published around 1789, the titles were "The Mount," "The Start," "The Betting Post," and "The Course." The present example comes from an expanded reissue of 1798-99 with titles altered to "Mounting" (59.533.1697), "Racing" (59.533.1694), "Betting" (59.533.1695), with "Between Heats" (59.533.514, 59.533.1700), and "Weighing" (59.533.1696) and "Running out of the Course" (59.533.1698) added.

Viols, the most esteemed bowed instruments of the late Renaissance, were only gradually displaced by the violin family. Viols differ from violins chiefly in shape, in number of strings and tuning, and in having fretted necks. All viols are played in an upright position between the knees or on the legs ("gamba" means "leg"), and the bow is held palm upward. The sound is less brilliant and quieter than that of the violin family of instruments. Chamber music for a consort of four to six viols was composed during the Renaissance and Baroque eras, and solo works for the bass viol were being played until nearly the end of the eighteenth century. This instrument is of the type known as a division viol, measuring between two and three inches shorter than a consort viol. Most surviving viols signed by or attributed to John Rose were likely made by the younger of a father and son pair of luthiers who went by the same name, and who worked in Bridewell, London, in the sixteenth century. While John Rose senior was among the earliest known of English viol makers, his son was among the most celebrated, and regarded as "the finest of all viol makers" in Thomas Mace's Musick's Monument of 1676. This instrument, dated ca. 1600, is attributed to the younger John Rose. Description: Repeatedly altered; high arched, three-piece spruce table with wing added on left lower bout probably dates from 18th century rebuilding as a cello; table edges are doubled and purfling does not match that of the maple back and ribs which bear floral and zoomorphic decoration incised with a hot needle; ribs were cut down, then widened and doubled with cross-grain beech; two-piece back of small horizontal figure has lower wings, of which the right is new; all internal parts as well as fittings, neck, grafted pegbox and scroll appear to be replacements (Karel Moens, 1991)

Sursanga
Object type: sursanga
Date: 1801 – 1900
Materials: ivory, pearl, wood
Culture: indian
Location: india
Subjects: peacocks,ganesha

Richly decorated musical instruments such as this sursanga were often given as gifts and used for display or wall decorations. This instrument is painted in the Mysore style and the belly depicts both Ganesha (seated on a lotus flower) and Sarasvati (on the left playing a veena and riding a peacock). The sūrsanga derived from the dhrupad rabāb in the late 19th century as an adaptation more suited to the musical styles of the time. The skin covered resonators were replaced by thin wooden face plates and the gut strings were replaced by metal ones. By the mid-20th century, however, very few people continued to play this instrument. Description: Globular body of hard-wood; hollow neck tapering towards top; open peg-box terminating in a fan-ivory edging. Two pegs on one side, three on the other; entire instrument elaborately painted.
