Interior Elevation of Reims Cathedral with the Rood Screen and Throne for the Coronation of King Louis XVIII
Object type: drawing ornament architecture
Date: 1815 – 1815
Materials: ink

Artist: charles percier

Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1764 – 1838
Subjects: architecture,interiors,cathedrals

This sheet shows an elevation of part of the interior of Reims Cathedral with the rood screen and throne for the coronation of King Louis XVIII. This design represents one of six drawings that form the only documentation of the plans for the coronation of King Louis XVIII, which never took place. The event was likely delayed, and eventually dismissed due to the precarious state of the French monarchy and the declining health of the King. In addition, the idea of a Royal coronation, bestowed by the French Catholic Church had become a point of contention after the fall of the first monarchy and the Emperor Napoleon’s decision to crown himself. For these reasons, King Louis XVIII’s successor, Charles X, opted not to have a coronation in Reims when he ascended the throne in 1824. Some of the concerns for how the coronation would be perceived can be noted in the decoration scheme that was devised by Percier and Fontaine. The architect duo had also been the official designers for the coronation of Emperor Napoleon. To mark the distinction, in their designs for Reims Cathedral, they veered away from the vocabulary of the Empire Style, and instead worked in a style known as Palladian Gothic. In addition, they incorporated references to the historic legitimacy of the Bourbon dynasty throughout their decoration scheme.

The Garden of Love (right block)

Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: flemish
Artist dates: 1596 – 1653
Subjects: couples,men,women

Having realized the potential profits to be made from reproductive prints of his work, Rubens began to engage printmakers from 1619 onward. In the early 1630s, he turned to woodcuts in close collaboration with Christoffel Jegher. Indeed, Jegher's place in art history as the most important woodcutter of his time rests exclusively on the nine large single-page woodcuts that resulted from this collaboration. The Garden of Love is a variation of a picture by Rubens from the 1630s (Museo del Prado, Madrid). Two drawings by Rubens (finished by Jegher; see 58.96.1,.2) served as models. The woodcuts reproduce these drawings in reverse. The drawings, and consequently the prints, transform the composition of the painting into a frieze, most notably by dividing it into two separate parts, pushing the figures to the foreground and cropping the architecture at the top. The inherent nature of the coarse woodcut medium and the effect that could be achieved with it were fully exploited, particularly in the rendering of the human form.

On the Indian subcontinent, temples have been dedicated to the worship of serpents since the dawn of civilization. Both Buddhism and Hinduism adopted nagarajas and naginis (serpent kings and their consorts) as protective divinities and depicted them like human beings. This sculpture from a pair of royal serpents (1987.415.1, .2) is carved in the round. The figure stand in front of cobras, whose open hoods form canopies for their heads. They date from the early part of the Gupta period and maintain ties to the style of the late Kushan period.

Harry Stephens was a former house servant of Alexander Hamilton Stephens, vice-president of the Confederacy and, after the war, U.S. senator. The photograph was likely made on the grounds of Liberty Hall, Alexander Stephens's home in Crawfordsville, Georgia. In its modest scale, careful annotation, and evocative title, the photograph remains a personal document that is nonetheless especially poignant and monumental. Harry and Eliza Stephens and their five children had survived slavery and the war. A local photographer's success at recording the family's collective possession of their new freedom is one of the more remarkable achievements of the still unseasoned medium.
