Bull
Object type: figure
Date: 1590 – 1598

Location: augsburg

This bull was part of a group of bronze animals that Heinrich Julius, Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1564–1613), bought for his castle garden.

The bull is modelled on a bronze statue by Giambologna.
Panel with the Triumph of Dionysos
Object type: panel
Date: 301 – 600
Materials: linen, wool
Techniques: weave
Location: egypt
Subjects: women,dionysus,satyrs,dolphins,panthers

Like most textiles from Egypt, this fourth-century panel may have been part of a ritual or festive garment. It was manufactured in the Early Byzantine period from undyed linen and purple wool in tapestry weave technique. Dionysos, the center figure, rides a chariot drawn by two panthers. As the god of wine and intoxication, he holds in his raised right hand a characteristic bunch of grapes. Immediately adjacent to him caper two maenads (female followers). On his far right is a satyr and on the opposite side is an Indian captive in spotted pantaloon. This scene is meant to celebrate a stage in the god's legendary conquest of India, through which he achieves a triumph in this world and a place in heaven. This popular theme was with Egyptian ruler mythology from the time of Alexander the Great, who was also seen as a god. He conquered India in 325 B.C., a few years after founding the great Egyptian city of Alexandria.

Lower part of furniture leg with lion feet and frustrum
Object type: furniture leg, lion foot, frustum
Date: 664 – 630
Materials: faience
Location: memphite region
Subjects: lions,furniture

This is the lower part of a lion furniture leg like 1977.170, made to slot onto another piece of furniture probably of wood. The fine modeling of the lion's foot and the contrast of the turquoise and dark blue colors convey the fine quality of the original piece. Furniture legs formed from the body and head of a lion conveyed an exalted status in Egyptian tradition. Here the fragile material and form indicate the piece may have adorned a low funerary bed on which the coffin or mummy of a deceased rested, or perhaps a stool intended to hold funerary items in the tomb.

Little is known about Yōgetsu, who was active as a monk in the mountains northeast of the ancient capital of Nara. He is sometimes cited as a follower of the master painter Sesshū Tōyō (1420–1506). Above Yōgetsu’s auspicious image of a pair of fish swimming in a pond, Mokumoku Dōjin, about whom little is also known, has inscribed a poem that recalls the carp’s role as a vehicle of the Daoist immortal Qingao: Wind whips the grass along the riverbank, frigid at dusk. A single ray of brilliant red illuminates the white shoal. If Qingao were here, he would not be riding a crane— He’d have [his carp] shaking their heads and snapping their tails, spinning waves into whirlpools. —Trans. Aaron Rio

Described by Lucien Falize as "intimate mementos…. as precious as illuminated parchments," gold bangle bracelets ornamented with brilliantly-colored enameled mottoes were a specialty of the Parisian jewelry house founded by his father, Alexis Falize, in 1838. Both father and son produced these romantic keepsakes, which were inspired by late fourteenth-century enameled and gem-set necklaces inscribed with "galantes devises" (chivalrous mottoes). The firm is best-known for its designs based on medieval European art, as well as on Near Eastern and Japanese sources. Renowned for their elegant designs and meticulous craftsmanship, the three-generation firm flourished well into the twentieth century, until its closure in 1936.

Prent uit: Sacra Eremus Ascetriarum, Hendrik Aertssen, Antwerpen 1619. Prent uit de serie van vijfentwintig kluizenaressen in deze uitgave. In 1612 verscheen de ongebonden editie maar op basis van de gewijzigde opschriften en samenstelling van de serie kluizenaars wordt aangenomen dat de prenten van de uitgave 1619 ook in 1612 of iets daarvoor gedrukt werden. De serie kluizenaressen bleef vrijwel ongewijzigd in de ongebonden uitgave van 1612, dit compliceert de datering van de losse bladen in de collectie van het RMA, zie Roethlisberger 1993, p. 171-175. Door de aanwezigheid van Franse tekst op het verso kunnen we vaststellen dat dit blad afkomstig is uit de Antwerpse uitgave van 1619.

Brewster & Company History Established in 1810 by James Brewster (1788–1866) in New Haven, Connecticut, Brewster & Company, specialized in the manufacture of fine carriages. The founder opened a New York showroom in 1827 at 53-54 Broad Street, and the company flourished under generations of family leadership. Expansion necessitated moves around lower Manhattan, with name changes reflecting shifts of management–James Brewster & Sons operated at 25 Canal Street, James Brewster Sons at 396 Broadway, and Brewster of Broome Street was based at 372 & 374 Broome Street with a repository (showroom) on 14th Street & Fifth Avenue. By 1874, Brewster & Company had 400 employees and combined warehouse and factory facilities at 47th & 48th Streets and Broadway. Brewster successfully branched out to produce their own automobiles, as well as supplying bodies for Rolls Royce at their Long Island City location. Notable clientele included Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, August Belmont, J.P. Morgan, John Jacob Astor, Andrew J. Cassatt (brother of artist Mary Cassatt), William Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick and Pierre Lorillard. Talented draftsmen employed by the firm included Paul Steinbeck, Herman Stahmer and John Gribbon, the latter teaching at the Carriage Builders and Designers Technical School, which opened in 1880 and was housed initially at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When the company finally dissolved in 1923, its last owner William Brewster (1866–1949) donated its archive of design and presentation drawings to the Museum where he served as benefactor and trustee. Of all American carriage manufacturers, none was as highly regarded for design, finish and quality as Brewster & Company. They won many awards for outstanding workmanship, including the Legion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor) at the 1878 Paris Exposition (3rd World’s Fair). In appreciation for this achievement the Carriage Builders’ National Association presented them with a gold enameled Tiffany & Company plaque and autograph book signed by leading American carriage builders, both now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
