Artist: albert bierstadt
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: american
Artist dates: 1830 – 1902
Subjects: landscapes, animals
Inscriptions: Signed, lower left: "A. Bierstadt"

Albert Bierstadt is best remembered for his paintings of the American West, but during his early career, the ambitious artist also created New England landscapes, particularly of the White Mountains, as seen here. When this painting was first exhibited in 1863, critics declared it Bierstadt’s “best work” and praised the artist’s deft contrast of “light and shade,” which brought a heightened realism to the image. Bierstadt’s affinity for the White Mountains mirrored a growing interest in the region as one of America’s premier tourist attractions. Photographs of the area from the 19th century suggest that Bierstadt utilized landscape elements from the Flume, a popular New Hampshire tourist site, in this imaginary composition.

The Lone Boat, North Woods Club, Adirondacks
Object type: drawing and watercolor
Date: 1892 – 1892
Materials: graphite, paint, paper, watercolor
Techniques: aquarelle, scraping
Location: united states
Artist: winslow homer
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: american
Artist dates: 1836 – 1910
Subjects: century of progress, world's fairs, chicago world's fairs, wilderness
Inscriptions: Signed recto, lower right, in pen and black ink: "Winslow Homer/1892" 
Inscribed verso, center: "M.K.W.C. 1017-//Evening, Adirondacks"

The Lone Boat, North Woods Club, Adirondacks speaks powerfully of the fisherman’s communion with nature. The medium of watercolor offered the perfect metaphor as well as technical means to express this relationship; its very wetness allows the forms of man and nature to run together, absorbed by the hazy atmosphere. In The Lone Boat, Homer constructed a nearly abstract composition along a strong horizon line, with the trees on the shore and their reflections in the water forming a symmetrical design. The effect is similar to that achieved when a still-wet sheet is folded at the center and blotted.

Homer painted the sky using multiple hues and a complex array of techniques, including resist, blotting, scraping, and wet-into-wet brushwork. The resulting textures and contrasts create a strong sense of movement, of clouds accumulating and dispersing while light shifts and changes across their forms.

Krishna and Radha in a Bower:  Page From a Dispersed Gita Govinda

Artist role: artist

The lush foliage seen in this work perfectly reflects the rich metaphoric prose of Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda, giving visual form to Krishna and Radha’s passion. Radha’s confidante is seen at center looking back through the tangled jungle where Radha had to travel to meet with her lover. While the depiction of the forest is perhaps less polished than that done by the workshop of Sahibdin in the early seventeenth century, it is more freely depicted and employs a greater range of colors.

Button or Bead
Object type: button or bead
Date: 801 – 1000
Materials: bone
Location: iran

This object was excavated at 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 to 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. American archaeologists and hundreds of Iranian workers excavated archaeological areas named Tepe Madrasa, Village Tepe, Sabz Pushan, Qanat Tepe, Tepe Alp Arslan, Vineyard Tepe, among others. They uncovered vast neighborhoods with mostly residential buildings, but also mosques, bathhouses, and possibly a governmental palace. Two main chronological phases were recognized in the sites: the first covers the ninth-tenth centuries and the second covers the eleventh-twelfth centuries. Thousands of artifacts were also recovered, mostly ceramic, glass, metal, and stone vessels, as well as carved and painted stuccoes and wall paintings, which were divided in half between the two countries, resulting in over four thousand objects in the Met’s collection today.

Artist dates: 1836 – 1910
Subjects: soldiers,american civil war,men

In 1864 Homer designed two series of lithographed collectors’ cards titled Life in Camp for the Boston publisher Louis Prang & Co. Unlike his serious war-time images for Harper’s Weekly, the artist felt free to inject humor into these miniature comments on army life which include images of soldiers resting, eating and reacting to army life. Here a Union soldier is punished by being carried astride a narrow piece of wood. By 1864 the war was entering its final months and formerly sacrosanct subjects could be approached more lightly.

A Sibyl Holding a Scroll (Study for the Cimmerian Sibyl)

Artist role: artist

Subjects: scrolls,sibyl

Like other Sibyls of the ancient world, the Cimmerian Sibyl - whose real name was Carmentis - was venerated as the great prophetic priestess presiding over the Apollonian Oracle at Cimmerium in Italy, near Lake Avernus. Guercino's vibrant drawing, executed with a dense network lines in pen and ink, is associated with a painting of the Cimmerian Sibyl, which is extant in at least two versions (Reggio Emilia, Credito Emiliano [now Credem] and Galerie Canesso, Paris in 2002; see "A Rediscovered Sibyl by Guercino," by Veronique Damian). The drawing is considered an original preparatory study for the Reggio Emilia version of the Cimmerian Sibyl, which has been dated to 1638, the year of the commission, for which payment was received on January 2, 1639, and which is recorded in the "Libro dei Conti" of Guercino's studio (located Bologna, Biblioteca Comunale dell'Archiginnasio, MS.B.331., also published in full in Calvi, Notizie della vita, e delle opere del Cavaliere Giovan Francesco Barbieri detto il Guercino da Cento, Bologna, 1808, and in Malvasia, Felsina Pittrice, 1841, II, pp. 307- 44).
