Subjects: angels

One of a pair, with 1976.48.1, originally part of a shrine, altar or 'chaire', of moderate dimensions. Their attitude of turning toward a center of attention and the holes in the bottom each suggest that they were affixed at the sides and toward the top of an architectural composition, probably on the volutes. The soles of their feet are more anatomically researched and carefully executed than the tops, suggesting that they were meant to be seen from below. Their execution in the round suggests that they were meant to be seen from almost any vantage point. The twisting composition, elongated bodies and faceted carving are typical of Verbrugghen's style.

Date: 1801 – 1900
Materials: brass
Culture: edo period
Location: nigeria
Artist: ìgùn ẹ́rọ̀nwwọ̀n (brass-casting guild) artists
Artist role: artist
Subjects: heads

The leaders of the kingdom of Benin in present-day Nigeria trace their origins to a ruling dynasty that began in the fourteenth century. The title of "oba," or king, is passed on to the firstborn son of each successive king of Benin at the time of his death. The first obligation of each new king during this transfer of rule is to commemorate his father with a portrait cast in bronze and placed on an altar at the palace. The altar constitutes an important site of palace ritual and is understood to be a means of incorporating the ongoing influence of past kings in the affairs of their descendents. In honoring the royal ancestors, the cast-brass heads refer to the special role of the head in directing not only the body but also a person's success in life. Taken further, the welfare of the entire kingdom depends upon the king's head, which is itself the object of worship. The placement of brass heads on the ancestral altar is a vivid reminder of the oba's role in successfully guiding the kingdom throughout his reign. The overall cylindrical shape, extended beaded collar covering the chin, addition of bead clusters to the crown, and wide flange at the base of this brass head identify it as belonging to a later period—probably late eighteenth century—of Benin brass casting.

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.

Plate for Giovanni d'avalos d'Aragona, from a series of twelve showing knights and their attendants dressed for a tournament (plate 2)
Object type: print
Date: 1565 – 1565
Techniques: etching
Artist: Anonymous
Artist role: artist
Subjects: soldiers,horses,knights

This is a series of etchings showing knights panoplied for the tournament held in the Belvedere courtyard of the Vatican on Monday 5 March 1565, as part of the celebrations for the marriage of Annibale Altemps and Ortensia Borromeo. Originally there were twelve in the series, for they are listed in the inventory of the Gherardi inheritance of 1594. The 1594 inventory also reveals that they were printed two to a sheet (Ehrle, 1908, p.51, lines 386-7: 'Dodici pezzi di livrea della festa della giostra di Belvedere, di due per foglio'). There is a detailed account of the tournament by Antonfrancesco Cirni, in the form of a letter to Cosimo de' Medici, dated 14 March 1565 (Cirni, 1898). There are problems matching Cirni's description with the prints. The most likely explanation is that the plates were prepared before the events actually took place and that what actually happened did not correspond precisely to what had been planned. For example Giovanni Orsini (plate 8; 53.601.158), according to Cirni should be Pallavicino Rangone. The splendid show of liveries was commented on by Cirni, who noted that 'the excellent miniaturist don Giulio Clovio was the inventor of many of them' ('di molte delle quali fu inventore l'eccelente miniatore don Giulio Clovio', Cirni, 1898, p.21). The amount of attention that the event attracted, witnessed to by the literary accounts as well as by the visual records, was exceptional. Who was responsible for this impressive set of 12 plates is not clear. Gherardi, in whose 1594 inventory they are clearly listed, inherited the bulk of his plates from Antonio Lafreri, through Lafreri's nephew Claudio Duchetti. However there is no apparent record of the plates in Lafreri's stocklist of 1573. The plates must have been acquired later, either by Lafreri or by one of his successors. (Abridged text from Michael Bury, 'The Print in Italy 1550-1620', BM 2001 cat.110; see catalogue for complete text) MMA has plates 2-12. See 53.601.153–163.

Because photographs were largely considered to be mere aids in the 19th century, the name of the photographer was generally not mentioned. The name on the mounts of these photographs is that of the publisher, the Paris firm of Calavas. From around 1875 it published vast amounts of photographs that were widely used as study material by artists.
