The Punishment of the Arrogant Niobe by Diana and Apollo
Object type: drawing

Materials: board, canvas, oil
Location: france
Artist: pierre charles jombert
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1748 – 1825
Subjects: apollo,diana

This lushly painted, highly colored study is for Jombert’s canvas (Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts, Paris) depicting the Greek mythological figure Niobe, who boasted with such hubris of her great fortune to be the mother of seven daughters and seven sons that it compelled the deities Diana and Apollo to assail her children with arrows. The sketch and the painting won Jombert first prize at the prix de Rome in 1772, for which he was awarded three years of study in Rome. Although he was considered an extremely promising student, little is known of Jombert after his return to France in 1776.

Eleanora of Aragon
Object type: sculpture

Materials: marble
Artist: giovanni cristoforo romano
Artist dates: 1460 – 1512
Subjects: naples

While Eleanora of Aragon may not be portrayed here as a ravishing beauty, she is certainly not ugly. In any case, she can hardly be recognized as the stocky Duchess of Ferrara with skin more brown than white, as she was described by a contemporary. The sculptor clearly idealized her. Her neck is elegantly long and the white marble automatically lends her the then desired pallor.

Coin
Object type: coin
Date: 733 – 793
Materials: copper
Location: iran

This coin was excavated at the site of Tepe Madrasa in Nishapur. Nishapur was a vital city in the early and middle Islamic periods, located along one of the main trajectories that connected Iran and West Asia Islamic lands with Central Asia and China. These itineraries are often referred by the term ‘Silk routes’ but were in fact crucial to the movement of constellations of materials and objects, as well as people and ideas. The diverse population of Nishapur and its surroundings, from the better-researched elite groups of merchants, land-owning aristocracy, and literates, to the less-known artisans, farmers, miners, and servants, were instrumental in adapting global cultural trends to create their own distinctive visual languages. This is seen in the material remains of everyday life in medieval Nishapur — from pots and pans to lighting devices, inkwells, textiles and trimmings, jewelry, games and toys, talismanic devices, weapons, coins, and architectural fragments. Nishapur lost its political prominence due to a series of earthquakes and invasions that peaked in the thirteenth century. Today, the medieval city is a vast archaeological area, while the relatively small modern city is situated to its north. Instead, Mashhad, a major pilgrimage site, emerged as a major prosperous metropolis in the region. Between 1935 and 1948, the "Persian Expedition" of the Metropolitan Museum of Art excavated at several sites at Nishapur under an agreement with the Iranian authorities. The recovered artifacts were divided in half between the two countries, resulting in over four thousand objects in the Met’s collection today. As part of the larger "Persian Expedition" project at Nishapur, American archaeologists and hundreds of Iranian workers excavated a mound named Tepe Madrasa. There, they uncovered an architectural complex which they tentatively associated with a palace or governmental center because of the solidity of the built structures and the extent and variety of wall decorations (including carved and painted brickwork, glazed tiles, wall paintings, and carved and painted stuccoes). This, together with the ceramic and metal finds, aided in attributing the site to the ninth or tenth century onwards. A mosque, refurbished multiple times up to the late eleventh century, was also unearthed, yielding the remains of a monumental entrance with a large terracotta inscription bearing the titles of a sultan (39.40.58, .60–64). Several twelfth century tombstones were also unearthed, showing the shift in purpose of what was earlier a residential area.

Achilles Restrained by Athena in Agamemnon's Tent, from Iliad, Book I

Date: 1765 – 1766
Materials: chalk, paper
Location: sweden
Artist: johan tobias sergel
Artist nationality: swedish
Artist dates: 1740 – 1814

This drawing by Sweden’s most important Neoclassical sculptor and draftsman depicts a scene from Homer’s Iliad, set during the Trojan War. Chryses, a Trojan priest of Apollo, prays to Apollo for help after Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek army, has refused to return his kidnapped daughter. In response, Apollo inflicts a plague upon the Greeks. Agamemnon returns Chryses’s daughter, but demands Chryses’s second kidnapped daughter, who is held by Achilles, in exchange. Enraged, Achilles draws his sword on Agamemnon, at which point Athena intervenes, as seen in the drawing.

Subjects: palaces,london

One of the most striking alterations to London's mid-nineteenth-century architectural landscape was the erection in 1837-50 of the new Houses of Parliament, designed by Sir Charles Barry in association with Augustus Pugin, in the Gothic perpendicular style. Fenton made several photographs of the new building, beginning with general views that he took moving downstream from Lambeth Palace on the opposite bank of the Thames and ending with close-ups that show ornamental details. In this image, which opens the series, the photographer has focused his attention on the south gate of the palace. The powerful Tudor edifice, built from 1486 to 1501, the official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, contrasts in its mass and tonal values with the delicate, lacy outline of the new Parliament buildings, showing the Clock Tower still unfinished; the arches of the old Westminster Bridge in the distance provide a graphic link between the two. The scene--with its barren foreground, and in the mid-ground the photographer's van, his assistant, a palace guard, and a lone sightseer--is like a stage set, the old building with its primitive simplicity facing, across the Thames, the self-assured elegance of the new.
