Portraits of Three Famous Poets: Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, Lady Ise, and Ono no Komachi

Culture: japanese
Artist: tosa mitsuoki
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: japanese
Artist dates: 1617 – 1691

A trio of painters in the Tosa family—father, son, and grandson—collaborated on this triptych of imaginary portraits of three of ancient Japan’s greatest poets. For the central scroll, Mitsuoki—the esteemed head of the Tosa school of traditional Japanese-style painting—rendered the patriarch of Japanese poetry, Kakinomoto no Hitomaro (ca. 660–724). Mitsunari, Mitsuoki’s son, painted Lady Ise (ca. 875–ca. 938), dressed in gorgeous court robes in the scroll at right. The court lady and poet Ono no Komachi (ca. 825–ca. 900), depicted with a water basin, is the work of Mitsutaka, the Tosa master’s grandson. This set of portraits celebrates the high regard for poetry in Japanese cultural history.
Panel of Ornament with a Birdcage
Object type: print
Date: 1507 – 1507
Materials: paper
Techniques: engraving
Location: italy
Artist: nicoletto da modena
Artist nationality: italian
Artist dates: 1500 – 1520

This decorative panel contains themes of war and triumph, presenting the fight above the birdcage while showing a celebratory procession below. The central figure represents a winged genius, possibly Fame, who holds the birdcage as well as palms and two trumpets. There are two figures tied to her, a naked woman and a warrior, and they satisfy the creatures below them with food and drink. Although the print surface is densely covered with imagery, Nicoletto da Modena often engraved his plates quite lightly, which can be seen in the delicacy of his printed line.

The Greenlandman 'Zaandam ' in the Whaling Grounds, by Joghem de Vries, 1772 .The Dutch had been hunting whales in the Arctic Ocean since the early 17th century. Oil that was extracted from the whale blubber, was used, among other things, as light fuel. Many Dutch whaling vessels sailed from Zaandam. The painter Joghem de Vries was also from Zaandam. It was there that he painted this picture of the 'Zaandam '. The ship, owned by the Zaan company of Claas Taan and Sons, was one of 38 Dutch whalers that sailed to the Davis Strait between Greenland and the North American coast in 1772. The 'Zaandam' returned with 240 barrels of blubber, taken from five whales. Altogether, the fleet killed 240 whales that year. De Vries painted other ships too. On the left is a vessel carrying the Danish flag. Two Eskimos are rowing in their kayak. And in the foreground, the men of the 'Zaandam ' have just harpooned a whale.
