Standing sheep
Object type: crèche figure
Date: 1751 – 1800
Materials: terracotta
Techniques: polychrome
Subjects: sheep

In 1964, Loretta Hines Howard generously presented to the Museum over 140 Neapolitan crèche figures, dating from the second half of the eighteenth century. The varied assortment includes figures from the three traditional scenes of a complete Neapolitan presepio: the Nativity, with angels, shepherds, and sheep; the procession of the three Magi, with their colorful retinue of attendants; and the varied and gay crowd of country and town people thronging the tavern, or inn, of Bethlehem — the diversorium mentioned by St. Luke, where on the Holy Night there was no place for Mary and Joseph. Averaging between twelve and fifteen inches in height, according to the position they were to take in perspective in the stage set, the figures are pliable and can be given poses at will, according to their facial expressions. Their bodies are made of tow and wire, their arms and legs are finely carved of wood, and their heads and shoulders are modeled of terracotta and accurately finished. Their attire, often enriched by accessories, jewels, and embroideries, is a sheer joy for the lover of folklore and eighteenth-century costumes. According to a tradition that seems to be supported by stylistic comparisons with figures in the collections of Naples and in the vast holdings of the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, some of the winsome heads of the Howard angels are to be credited to the best eighteenth-century masters: Giuseppe Sammartino (1720–1793), well known for his monumental sculptures in marble and in stucco, his pupils Salvatore di Franco, Giuseppe Gori, and Angelo Viva, and one Lorenza Mosca (d. 1789), who was employed at the Royal Porcelain Factory at Capodimonte and stage director of the Royal Christmas Crib. Since Mrs. Howard's gift, the Museum has recreated the Neapolitan Christmas crib scene, much to the delight of visitors during the holiday season.

Arcus Lutii Septimii, from a Series of Prints depicting (reconstructed) Buildings from Roman Antiquity
Object type: album print ornament architecture
Techniques: engraving, printing
Artist: monogrammist g.a. with the caltrop
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1535 – 1535
Subjects: architecture

Perspectival depiction of the right half of a double triumphal arch, referred to as the ‘Arcus Lutii Septimii’ set in a stylized landscape. The arch appears to be placed on a square and is stripped from all its ornaments and relief decorations, aside from a statue which crowns one of the protruding piers with Ionic or Composite pillars that flank the arches. While the proportions are incorrect, the overall composition of the arch resembles the arch of Septimius Severus in Rome. The print is part of a group of architectural prints depicting buildings from Roman Antiquity, ranging from triumphal arches to bath houses, temples and palaces in Italy, France and Spain. Some of the buildings have been artificially reconstructed based on Medieval descriptions, while others are depicted in their ruinous states. The plates are known in several (uncatalogued) states, and have undergone minor changes over time. Several titles of buildings have been changed, and the plates have been cropped as a result of plate cracks and oxidation. Most copper plates for this series have been engraved on both sides. This print is taken from the same plate as the 'Tenplum Iovis Ultoris'. This group of prints was purchased as part of an an album in 1926, but taken apart by the Museum in 1934. The album appears to have been compiled in the 17th century, although the majority of prints date from the 16th century. The larger part of the prints is focused on mythological subjects and objects and architecture from Antiquity. The album was part of the collection of the architect Hippolyte Destailleur and was sold in the sale of his books and prints in 1895. The Museum acquired the album at G. Rapilly & Fils in 1926. Where the album had been kept in the mean time is unclear and several prints were taken out in this period. The museum's numbering does not reflect the order of the original album, but Destailleur's numbering system is retained on the inidividual sheets, allowing for the reconstruction of its original content.

Pair of candlesticks (part of a toilet service)
Object type: candlestick
Date: 1758 – 1759
Materials: silver
Artist: joseph charvet
Artist role: maker
Artist dates: 1670 – 1770

During the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century, the silver toilet set evolved into one of the most fashionable luxury accessories and was an eloquent symbol of the owner’s social status. Intact "garnitures de toilette" are rare but itemized descriptions include a mirror, an ewer and basin, glove trays, various boxes and jars for cosmetics and ointments, scent bottles, and two or sometimes four short candlesticks, besides other objects. Given their small size, this pair of candlesticks is believed to have been part of a toilet set made by the Paris silversmith Joseph Charvet in 1758–59. Their delicate ornament, pronounced curves, and swirling gadrooning all indicate the fully developed Rococo style. Daughter of one of the founders of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, Catherine D. Wentworth (1865–1948) was an art student and painter who lived in France for thirty years. She became one of the most important American collectors of eighteenth-century French silver and on her death in 1948 bequeathed part of her significant collection of silver, gold boxes, French furniture, and textiles to the Metropolitan Museum. The collection is particularly strong in domestic silver as illustrated by this pair of candlesticks.
