"Steinbok", Folio from a Dispersed Nuzhatnama-i ‘A’a’i of Shahmardan ibn Abi’l Khayr
Object type: folio from an illustrated manuscript
Date: 1467 – 1533
Materials: gold, ink, paper, watercolor
Location: iran
Artist: shamardan ibn abi 'l khayr
Artist role: author
Artist nationality: iranian
Artist dates: 1075 – 1125
Subjects: animals,flowers,leaves

The encyclopaedic text from which this page comes was written between 1095 and 1119 and consists of two parts, one devoted to the three kingdoms of nature, including humans, animals, agriculture, and minerals and the other to various sciences and pseudosciences. Nineteen folios with thirty-three images are extant and widely dispersed in museums in Europe and North America. The illustrations of animals are characterized by the absence of marginal rulings and a horizon line. Here a steinbok with high curved horns is depicted in profile in conformity with the images of other animals and birds in this manuscript. The painting of rocks, leaves and flowers with wash instead of the customary saturated pigments of early sixteenth-century Persian painting recall the similar treatment in the work of some Isfahan painters around 1600. The steinbok’s form is defined by a firm black outline instead of the calligraphic line defining contours characteristic of Isfahan works. This plus the dearth of closely comparable images from other schools make the assignment of the manuscript to a specific place of production untenable.

Punto in aria—literally, "stitches in the air"—is one of the earliest styles of needle lace, which is itself developed from cutwork of primarily geometric design. When lacemakers transitioned to using a foundation of threads laid out according to a pattern drawn on parchment, they were able to incorporate more fluid lines and curves into their designs.

Chasuble
Object type: chasuble
Date: 1601 – 1700
Materials: linen, metal, silk
Subjects: madonna and child,saints

This intriguing object is a composite: at some point in their history, embroidered orphreys- attributed 17th-Century, Spanish- have been cut down and applied to an eighteenth-century silk support- attributed either Chinese made for export, or a British imitation thereof. The raw materials and the execution of the embroideries are rather modest, with twisted threads couched in place, and a very thinly piled red velvet support emulating pricier production. The silk, in contrast, is very fine, though mechanically woven. The embroidered orphreys represent Christian figures of devotion: on the front, a monk saint (perhaps Dominic or Francis) holding the Christ Child, and Christ at the Cross (amputated at the thighs); on the reverse, the Virgin and Child, the same or another monk saint, and Saint Jerome (whose panel has also been roughly cut at thigh level). The later, figurative silk, conversely, is decorated with a secular repeat pattern of clouds, wickerwork, and baskets of flowers. In its current iteration, this garment is a chasuble (the tabard worn by a Catholic priest over his alb gown when conducting church services), although its very long, narrow shape is highly unusual.

Upon Degas's death in 1917, more than 150 figurative sculptures were found in his studio. Most were made of fragile wax, clay, and plastiline (a wax- and oil-based modeling material). Many had deteriorated. Only a few were preserved in copies that had been cast from them in plaster. Except for the wax Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer (Washington: NGA) none of these sculptures had been publicly exhibited during the artist’s lifetime. Although Degas had not favored reproducing his sculptures in more permanent materials, his heirs authorized that copies be cast in bronze in order to preserve the compositions and to sell them as finished works. Paul-Albert Bartholomé, a sculptor and Degas's longtime friend, prepared 72 of the figures for casting, a process executed by the distinguished Paris foundry A.-A. Hébrard et Cie. The quality of the Degas bronzes was tightly controlled and their edition was limited. Only twenty-two editions of the series of 72 figures were cast. Each bronze within the series was assigned a number from one to seventy-two. The first twenty editions were assigned a letter from A-T. In most cases these numbers and letters were incised on the individual bronzes. The series of 72 bronzes was completed before May 1921 when it was exhibited in Paris. Edition A, comprising the first and best casts of the series, was reserved for the important Impressionist collector Mrs. H. O. Havemeyer. She later acquired the first bronze cast of the Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer (lettered A, but not numbered), which had been omitted from the initial series. In 1929 Mrs. Havemeyer bequeathed Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer and 70 of the 72 Edition A Degas bronzes to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Saint Michael
Object type: print
Materials: paper
Techniques: engraving
Location: italy
Artist: Anonymous

This tiny engraving may have been printed from a precious metal plate that was part of a larger decorative—possibly liturgical—object. The so-called niello print is thought to have originated in Italy and was made on a gold or silver plate engraved with a burin. The lines would be filled with niello, a thick black metal alloy that contrasted with the precious metals, and then nailed to a larger vessel. One or two proof impressions using ink and paper could be taken beforehand without damaging the engraving plate.

De opschriften zijn onbetrouwbaar. Volgens Obreen werd maar één schip volgens dit model gebouwd, de Admiraal Piet Hein van 195 voet, door P. Glavimans Jz. in Rotterdam in 1810-1813, gesloopt in 1819. Er is echter wel een 74-er Admiraal Piet Hein in Rotterdam op stapel gezet in 1806, op de helling reeds vervuurd en gesloopt in 1811.

View of IJsselmonde Seen Across the New Maas
Object type: drawing and watercolor
Date: 1640 – 1640
Materials: chalk, paper, paint, watercolor
Techniques: brush, wash
Location: netherlands
Artist: aelbert cuyp
Artist role: draughtsman, painter, print maker
Artist nationality: dutch
Artist dates: 1620 – 1691
Inscriptions: Inscribed verso, lower left, in graphite: "£*"; lower left, in graphite: "£106"; center, in blue pencil: "405" (in circle); lower right, in graphite: "tor—" (partially erased)

Even though he never ventured to Italy, Aelbert Cuyp distinguished himself as an artist who could evoke the golden light so often associated with southern Europe. Two of his works (View of IJsselmonde Seen across the New Maas (1967.383) and A View of Vianen with a Herdsman and Cattle by a River (2003.169), created around the same time, indicate how he achieved this effect in two different media. In both cases, Cuyp employed a restrained but highly evocative palette in which he selectively contrasted the dark brown elements of the foreground and the expansive gold-cast skies seen beyond the water in the middle ground. Although in the painting he achieved this effect by covering his entire canvas with pigment, it is remarkable to consider the atmospheric effects he created in the drawing with the strategic and minimal use of color on paper.
Battle between Dutch and Spanish Ships on the Haarlemmermeer
Object type: painting
Materials: canvas, oil
Artist: hendrick cornelisz vroom
Artist role: draughtsman, painter

When Haarlem sided with the Dutch Revolt in 1572, the Spanish lay siege to the city. In May 1573, the rebels attempted to recapture the Haarlemmermeer, which was a major supply channel to the city. They were defeated by a fleet of Spanish and Amsterdam ships (Amsterdam was then still loyal to Spain). Haarlem was ultimately forced to surrender to the Spanish.

Known as "gold caps", this type of headwear was common to Osnabrück, Westphalia in Germany.

This example would have been considerably time-consuming with the embroidery worked in flat metal strips, and the inclusion of foil accents.

Materials: leather, metal, wood

The positive is a small type of organ with a single manual that can be moved around for performances or religious music or secular chamber music. The organ can generally have a handful of pipes and is not as small as the portative organ, which has a single rank of pipes and, as its name suggests, is meant to be very easily transported. The organ is housed in a rectangular softwood case with six gilt wood panels set into the four sides. The keyboard has forty-nine keys and there are six stops. The larger ranks of pipes are mounted diagonally within the case and two leather straps are pulled to pump the organ. The instrument has three music racks that fold up from the top of the instrument, one for the keyboard player, and one on either side of the instrument to be used by singers or instrumentalists in the performance of chamber music.
