Evening Chime of the Clock (Tokei no banshō), from the series “Eight Parlor Views” (Zashiki hakkei)
Object type: print
Date: 1766 – 1766
Materials: ink, paper
Techniques: woodblock print
Culture: japanese
Artist: suzuki harunobu
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: japanese
Artist dates: 1725 – 1770
Subjects: women

The orderly composition of this scene, with architectural elements arranged in parallel diagonals, reveals a private room and courtyard behind a roofed wall covered with vines. In the tightly organized space, a woman in a loose garment sits on the veranda after her bath. The maid turns her head toward the clock, partially seen at left, at the moment it strikes the hour. The woman, though listening to the clock, seems preoccupied. The traditional representation of the "evening bell" in this print from the Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers appears in the pagoda of a temple in the distance. Here, the clock stands in for the temple bell. Again, there is a subtle suggestion of a romantic narrative; the strikes of the clock may remind the woman of a lover's impending visit. The standing screen decorated with bamboo divides formal areas of the house from the intimate scene we see here.

Many Japanese cities have changed beyond recognition over the past 150 years. That makes it difficult to be sure which one is pictured here. Since only the Bauduins themselves, and their friends and family, saw these photos, there was no reason to write anything on the back. A verbal explanation sufficed. That is, until years later, when there was no one left to explain.

Vest
Object type: vest
Date: 1845 – 1860
Materials: cotton, leather, silk
Culture: american

Waistcoats of the 18th and 19th centuries served as a layer protection and ornamentation during a period in fashion when the coat was intended to be left open in the front. The color was often chosen to complement the suit and covered in imaginative embroideries, heavily woven patterns or shiny satins made to draw the eye. The style of the neck, the length and the hem treatment fluctuated as the tastes changed from over-sized coats of the early 18th century to narrow tightly fitted coats of the late 18th century and onward. The silhouette of this vest, with its padded chest and nipped in waist, is indicative of the expected male body type popular throughout the middle of the 19th century.

Manuscript Leaf with the Last Judgment, from a Book of Hours
Object type: book of hour
Date: 1400 – 1400

Culture: french
Location: france
Subjects: angels,virgin mary,jesus,last judgement

This miniature from a Book of Hours illustrated a section of special prayers in French known as the "sept requêtes à nostre Seigneur" (seven requests of our Lord). With its tessellated ground of red, blue, and gold, its figures set in a shallow landscape, and the preciousness of its execution, the miniature typifies Parisian manuscript painting of about 1400. Two angels herald the Last Judgment, while Christ, seated on a rainbow, extends his hands toward the dead. People from all walks of life—men, women, a crowned king, and a pope—emerge from their earthly tombs and raise their hands to him in supplication. Imploring Christ on their behalf are the Virgin, one breast bared, and Saint John the Baptist (?), posed at left and right respectively.

Decorations and medals, 1806-1813. King Louis Napoleon instituted two national orders: the Order of Merit, with the motto 'do well and do not look back', and the Order of the Union, with the motto 'luctor et emergo'. A year later the two orders were merged to form the Royal Order of Holland, renamed the Royal Order of the Union after 1808. Instead of the king's head, the medal showed a bundle of arrows. When the Netherlands was annexed by France in 1810, Emperor Napoleon introduced the Order of Reunion to replace the Order of the Union. These decorations were originally awarded to I.J.A. Gogel, who served for many years as minister of finance.

Materials: paper, watercolor
Location: iran
Artist: isma'il jalayir
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: iranian
Artist dates: 1785 – 1899

This is a portrait of Mirza ‘Ali Asghar Khan Amin al-Sultan, who became Prime Minister at the courts of the fourth and fifth rulers of the Qajar dynasty, Nasir al-Din Shah (r. 1848–1896), and his successor Muzaffar al-Din Shah (1896–1907). The painter, Ismaʿil Jalayir, an intriguing court artist of nineteenth-century Iran, covered many of his works with tiny vignettes of flora and fauna like the ones seen here. The portrait is set against a paradisical background, highlighting the opulence of the court, while the image of the minister, the furniture, and the objects surrounding him reflect an engagement with European art and photography. Although Jalayir rarely dated his paintings, this work bears a partially legible date, suggesting it was completed in A.H. 1299/A.D. 1880.

During the Yuan dynasty, the archaic blue-and-green landscape style was revived by scholar-artists in the south, who sought new modes of self-expression through a conscious return to models of the past. The rich mineral pigments that characterize this style also made it a favorite of professional and court painters, who never entirely stopped producing decorative works in this manner. This fan painting and its mate, Village and Temples in Jiangnan, typify late fourteenth- and early fifteenth-century interpretations of this decorative style. The prominent use of “hemp-fiber wrinkles” to texture rock surfaces reflects the late Yuan preference for the brush idiom of Dong Yuan (active 930s–960s) and Juran (active 960–95); the complex composition and confident rendering of three-dimensional forms in space closely parallel the landscape murals (dated 1358) at the Yonglegong temple.
