[Standing Male Nude]
Object type: photograph
Date: 1856 – 1856
Techniques: glass negative, salted paper print
Artist: Anonymous
Artist role: artist
Subjects: male nudes

The original impulse behind these boldly ambitious figure studies may have been to aid a painter or sculptor, but they are nonetheless without parallel in the early history of photography. Enlarged to the size of drawn académies—drawings of the live model that were a standard part of art instruction in France—their scale alone sets them apart from the more modest productions of Vallou de Villeneuve, Durieu, and other artists of the 1850s. More unusually, the images are interrupted by a surface pattern that gives the impression that the photographs are printed on finely pleated silk rather than paper—likely the result of a technical error. Instead of wiping clean his glass-plate negatives and starting over as virtually all other photographers would have done, this artist recognized that the pattern created a veil that, like time or memory, removed the images from their merely utilitarian purpose and elevated them from the mundane to the realm of art. Just as the eye and mind may be pleasantly torn between bravura brushwork and the ostensible subject of a painting, there is a tension here between the beauty of the subject—the elegant female draped in gossamer; the strict profile and geometric setting of the male—and the visible traces of their creation, such as the flowing surface pattern and the strong vignetting of the female, which suggests a view spied through a peephole.

Pair of Stirrups
Object type: stirrup
Date: 1601 – 1700
Materials: metal alloy
Culture: italian
Location: italy

This decoration technique of smooth chiseled steel, polished to the point of mimicking silver, seems to have been popular in Northern Italy for the decoration of equestrian material in the second half of the 17th century. The swivel suspension eye allowed the stirrup leather to stay flat against the horse’s flank when the stirrup is used, but it is more fragile than regular non-rotating systems.

Winter Landscape
Object type: hanging scroll
Materials: ink, silk
Culture: japanese
Artist: hayashi hyakuhi 林百非
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: japanese
Artist dates: 1797 – 1851

Not a single person populates this vast winter landscape; the only hint of human habitation is suggested by what appears to be a mountain retreat situated about halfway up the composition. In the foreground is a magnificent tangle of trees and plants of various species—meticulously and compulsively brushed in a tour de force of painterly precision and patience. The season is winter, and the leafless branches are carefully outlined in a ying and yang of dark ink and pale gray outlines surrounding areas in reserve. To add to the complexity of the composition, a waterfall forms a backdrop to accentuate the gnarled trunk of an aged tree. As the eye follows the recession of the composition into the background, massive rock outcrops are given three-dimensionality by the use of various texture strokes and ink dots. This imaginary Chinese-style landscape was created by Hayashi Hyakuhi, a samurai painter who spent most of his life in the Chōshū domain (surrounding the modern city of Hagi), where he grew up and was inculcated with study of the Chinese classics and poetry. He first studied painting, calligraphy and seal carving under Yano Katsuzan 矢野括山 (1780–1845）and then under Tanomura Chikuden , the great Nanga master of the era, whose influence is revealed in this work of 1840, Not only was Hyakuhi a skilled painter, he excelled in Chinese poetry, calligraphy and seal carving, while also becoming a scholar of military strategy. Note that the artist often used a seal reading Nyoze 如是, a Buddhist term, and short for jū nyoze 十如是 (the ten thusnesses) of the Tendai sect. In the signature on this work he evocatively refers to his painting studio as the Sansui Nyoze Shooku 山水如是書屋, or the Library of the Thusnesses of Landscape. In the signature, the artist also refers to himself as as Hōgai Shiba 方外司馬, employing a Chinese expression that originated in A New Account of the Tales of the World (Shishuo Xinyu 世說新語, compiled in the fifth century) referring to someone who received a civil service appointment, but who does not comply with all the regulations and restraints required as a condition of his employment. In this context it suggests the outlook of a Literati painter who does not want to conform to the strictures of the samurai society into which he was born. One of the artist’s seal impressed on the left of the painting repeats this name.

Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1729 – 1765
Subjects: saint john the baptist, women, animals, figures, people, angels, putti, deserts, saints, christianity, christian subjects, religious, religion, religious scenes, biblical

A precocious talent, Jean-Baptiste Deshays married the daughter of Rococo artist François Boucher and became his protégé. Although best known as a painter of religious subjects, Deshays often employed the soft, highly fluid manner that Boucher used for his amorous “boudoir” pictures. In fact, this work was for a long time believed to be by Boucher. The subject of the painting derives from the Gospel of Matthew: seated before the multitude and with arms dramatically outstretched, John the Baptist warns, “Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Techniques: engraving
Artist: william holman hunt
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british

As a founding Pre-Raphaelite, Hunt produced religious subjects with an intense realism that infused everyday objects with symbolic resonance. This, his only contribution to Dalziels’ Bible Gallery, depicts the meeting of Eliezar and Rebekah. Genesis records how Abraham sent his servant from to his home village in Mesopotamia to find a bride for Isaac. When Rebekah offers Eliezer water, the traveler recognizes her exceptional character and presents jewelry to confirm the seriousness of his errand. The strong outlines and sparse shading recall prints by Mortiz Retzsch, a German artist admired by the Pre-Raphaelites.

Terracotta skyphos (drinking cup)
Object type: skyphos
Date: 700 – 501
Materials: terracotta
Culture: lydian

Painted pottery from Sardis reflects both local aspects of Lydian pottery as well as its diversity, which includes elements from Greek and Phrygian artistic traditions. Although the skyphos is a characteristically Greek shape, this locally made vase is decorated in the Lydian style of painted "streaky-glaze" pottery, in which a variety of tonalities were created by brushing red or brown slip in uneven densities.
