Mosaic floor panel
Object type: mosaic floor with the head of spring
Date: 101 – 200
Materials: glass, stone
Culture: roman
Subjects: garlands,women

The rectangular panel represents the entire decorated area of a floor and was found together with another mosaic (now in the Baltimore Museum of Art) in an olive grove at Daphne-Harbiye in 1937. In Roman times, Daphne was a popular holiday resort, used by the wealthy citizens and residents of Antioch as a place of rest and refuge from the heat and noise of the city. American excavations at Daphne in the late 1930s uncovered the remains of several well-appointed houses and villas, including the one that contained this mosaic. At its center is a panel (emblema) with the bust of a woman, decked out with a wreath of flowers around her head and a floral garland over her left shoulder. Traditionally identified as Spring, the figure is probably the representation of a more generic personification of abundance and good living, well suited to the luxurious atmosphere created at Daphne by its rich patrons.

A pair of monumental vases with scenes from "Jerusalem Delivered"
Object type: vase
Date: 1670 – 1670
Materials: earthenware
Techniques: maiolica, glazing
Artist: papi workshop
Artist role: maker
Artist nationality: italian

Torquato Tasso’s Jerusalem Delivered, a complex tale of crusaders in Jerusalem first published in 1581, was an endless source of artistic inspiration for Italian maiolica producers, including this pair of monumental vases by the Papi workshop, based in Urbania, a town in the Marche region of Italy. The most distinctive aspect of these vases is the combination of polychrome and monochrome blue palettes in the depiction of scenes from the epic poem. By 1670, maiolica makers of exuberant, eye-catching forms such as this pair vied with the strong European demand for Chinese blue and white porcelain.

Mrs. Olin Levi Warner
Object type: bust
Materials: bronze
Culture: american
Artist: olin levi warner
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: american
Artist dates: 1844 – 1896
Subjects: portraits,women

In 1886, Warner married Sylvia (née Sylvie) Françoise Martinache (1858–1949) in New York. She was educated at schools in France and New York, including the Normal School (now Hunter College). As an aspiring art teacher, she studied at the Cooper Union where in 1878 she won a second prize in a drawing class that concentrated on copying antiquities taught by Warner’s friend Wyatt Eaton. Warner’s devotion to his wife is reflected in this sensitive portrait he modeled during the first few months of marriage. Sylvie Warner’s head is positioned frontally, with incised pupils gazing forward. Her fine features, including a straight nose, delicate lips, and long, graceful neck attest to her elegant beauty. The sculptor opted for an irregular termination on the front and sides of the bust that complements the gentle, sweeping folds of fabric around the sitter’s shoulders. This bust was one of eleven works by Warner given to the museum by the National Sculpture Society after the sculptor’s untimely death in 1896; the bronzes were cast by Tiffany and Company from his original plasters.

Dit is de eerste staat van twee van de eerste editie van deze prent, die mogelijk door Hieronymus Cock werd uitgegeven. De plaat kwam, vermoedelijk na de dood van Cock, in handen van Gerard de Jode. De voorstelling van de plaat werd toen compleet verwijderd en er kwam een iets andere compositie voor in de plaats. Alleen de tekst bleef ongewijzigd. De plaat werd vervolgens gebruikt in: Thesaurus sacrarum historiaru veteris testamenti, elegatissimis imaginibus expressu excelletissimoru in hac arte viroru opera : nuc primu in luce editus. Antwerpen: Gerard de Jode, 1579. Van die tweede editie, toegeschreven aan Hans Collaert (I), bestaan drie staten.

In the text on this stela, Userhat testifies to his own good qualities and to his trust in his god, probably Amun. He is shown here with his wife, Nefertari. Userhat was a priest in the mortuary cults of both Amenhotep III and Tutankhamun, so the couple must have lived during later Dynasty 18. The complex layering of relief and the style of the figures demonstrate the influence of the art of Amarna at Thebes.
Smallsword
Object type: smallsword
Date: 1790 – 1790
Materials: enamel, gold, steel, textile
Culture: french or british
Location: france or england

By the early seventeenth century, the rapier, a long slender thrusting sword, began to dominate as the gentleman’s weapon of choice. During the course of the century, however, as civilian fencing techniques became more specialized and refined, the rapier developed into a lighter, trimmed-down weapon known by about 1700 as the smallsword. Smallswords, often richly decorated, remained an integral part of a gentleman’s wardrobe until the wearing of swords in civilian settings went out of fashion at the end of the eighteenth century, at which time pistols were replacing swords as arms most frequently used in personal duels. The majority of smallsword hilts are made of silver or steel, but many also employ a wide variety of luxurious materials, such as gold, porcelain, and enamel. At their best, smallswords combine the crafts of swordsmith, cutler, and jeweler to create an elegant weapon that was also a wearable work of art.
