Prent uit serie Vélins met negentig prenten naar ontwerp van Peter Paul Rubens. In de bronnen vinden we uiteenlopende gegevens over aantal en samenstelling van de serie. Hollstein hanteert het aantal van negentig prenten. De reeks Vélins in de collectie van het RMA bevat verschillende staten afkomstig uit meerdere uitgaven welke moeilijk te duiden zijn. Sommige dragen het originele adres van Schelte Adamsz. Bolswert als graveur en uitgever, op andere exemplaren is deze naam verwijderd (duidelijk zichtbaar!) en vervangen door de naam Cornelis Galle (II). De prenten met de naam van uitgever Galle zijn vaak opgewerkt. We treffen nog een andere naam van een uitgever bij enkele prent aan: Martien van den Enden. Herkomst uit meerdere uitgaven spreekt ook uit afwijkende opschriften in Nederlands en Latijn en variaties op dezelfde thema's welke misschien nooit langs elkaar in dezelfde serie gebruikt werden.

Silk fabrics patterned on a loom formed the basis of much of men’s and women’s formal dress in the 18th century. Colors and patterns changed regularly; this design of small bouquets linked by ribbons was most popular in the mid-1760s. The color pink in all its shades was a perennial favorite of European women throughout the 18th century.

This dish stands out not so much for its decorations, but rather the empty spaces between them. The painter boldly left large areas of the plate unpainted, which was rarely done in Delft. Precisely because of this emptiness and because the scene is off-centre, this plate has a decidedly Asian appearance.

Mastiff
Object type: sculpture
Materials: ceramic, paint
Culture: kassite
Location: mesopotamia
Subjects: dogs

Dogs were regularly represented in the arts of Mesopotamia from earliest times, and were particularly popular in the later second millennium B.C. in central Babylonia. This clay mastiff is hollow on the inside. It retains traces of polychromy on its body, and remains of inlay in its eyes. The animal’s forehead wrinkles, snout, teeth, and muscular shoulders are carefully depicted. A braided collar circles the dog’s neck, and its tail is shown folded around its right hind leg. There is a hole at the top of its head, which may have held a standard in antiquity, perhaps similar to that shown in a contemporary seal carving in the Metropolitan's collection (1985.357.44). In the ancient Near East, dogs were often associated with Gula, the goddess of healing. This dog is depicted in a watchful pose – seated, with an open mouth and forward-facing ears, now partially broken – and may have been set up as a guardian figure as well as a standard-bearer. Kassite artists were particularly skilled in sculpting clay, creating both sculptures and three dimensional brick compositions.

Object type: hanging scroll

Daiitoku is a wrathful and protective Wisdom King (Myōō), whose Sanskrit name means “one who stops the power of the King of Hell.” He is shown with multiple heads, eyes, legs, and arms. In four hands he holds a trident, a wheel, a sword, and a jeweled club, while he joins his other two hands with both middle fingers extended, in the mudra of restraint (konpon-in). Painted images of Wisdom Kings like Daiitoku were used in rituals to protect society from harm. The red seal at the lower right of this drawing is an indication of the work’s early owner: the Buddhist monastery Kōzanji in Kyoto.

Close-Helmet for the Tournament
Object type: close helmet
Date: 1567 – 1600
Materials: leather, steel, textile
Culture: german
Location: germany

This helmet seems to have been designed for foot combat at the barriers, a sport in which pairs of contestants wearing armor only to the waist (hitting below the belt was forbidden) fought with pikes or swords over a separating wooden barrier. A brow reinforce was originally riveted to the visor. The long threaded bolt projecting from the upper bevor is a later working-life addition apparently intended to affix a reinforce (buffe) for mounted use in the tourney. The bowl and bevor retain their original linen-covered padded linings and shock-absorbing suspension straps between the bowl and the lining.

Reclining female figure
Object type: statuette
Date: 1534 – 1566
Materials: bronze, wood
Subjects: women

The generically Michelangelesque figure wears a turbanlike helmet with short flaps at the back of the neck, a leathern peplum belted and gathered under the breasts and over the abdomen, a long skirt gathered at the knees, and midcalf boots. An old hole for affixing is under the right foot, and a modern drill hole passes through the middle of the underside. Wilhelm von Bode thought the model reflected an intervention by Teodoro della Porta on the marble allegorical figure of Justice (or Equanimity, or Fidelity) by his father Guglielmo della Porta on the tomb of Paul III in Saint Peter’s Basilica.[1] In 1594–95, Cardinal Odoardo Farnese had Teodoro fashion a camicia di metallo—a blouse or nightgown of metal—to mute the figure’s sexuality.[2] Guglielmo’s own drawing for the marble shows that he intended a tumbling coiffure and a drapery not all that revealing except for light indications of nipples.[3] The bronze figure is oriented in the opposite direction; there are no indications of the marble’s attributes, a flame and consular fasces; the costume is not suggestive of any particular allegory; and there is nothing of the quirky elegance of Guglielmo. Teodoro’s style is less easy to judge, but Bode’s idea has to be jettisoned. -JDD Footnotes (For key to shortened references see bibliography in Allen, Italian Renaissance and Baroque Bronzes in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. NY: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2022.) 1. Bode 1910, vol. 2, p. 4, no. 119. 2. Cadier 1889, p. 80. Teodoro calls the figure Justice; its pair on the tomb is Prudence. 3.
