Ulrich Fugger the Younger (1490–1525)

Materials: wood, oil
Artist: hans maler
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: german

Hans Maler produced numerous portraits of members of the Fugger family, who by the sixteenth century had become one of Europe’s greatest mercantile and banking dynasties. This painting shows Ulrich Fugger the Younger at age thirty-five, in the final year of his life, when he represented his family in the flourishing mining center of Schwaz in Tirol. A nearly identical version exists in a private collection. The Fuggers may have commissioned such relatively small portraits in multiples to distribute among family members and important business partners and to decorate the family’s residences and offices.

This is the personal sketchbook of sword fittings maker Ranzan Tsuneyuki (嵐山常行). The sketchbook contains monochrome and colored pen and ink sketches as well as drawings of existing works that served the artist as model and as inspiration alike. Such sketchbooks were kept for personal use and not intended to be viewed by the public, although they were given to students for study purposes. In this sketchbook, we find the explicit request that it should be handed down to his then twenty-two-year-old pupil Aizan Yoshiyuki (愛山義行), indicating that Tsuneyuki regarded him as his successor.

Chess came to Spain from Islamic lands and quickly gained popularity among people of all faiths. An elite secular activity, chess and its rules and strategies were likely first shared in princely courts, where high-ranking Muslims, Jews, and Christians regularly came into contact. Most medieval Islamic chess pieces were abstract, though figural pieces, such as this rukh (rook) in the form of two riders, do survive.

Brewster & Company History Established in 1810 by James Brewster (1788–1866) in New Haven, Connecticut, Brewster & Company, specialized in the manufacture of fine carriages. The founder opened a New York showroom in 1827 at 53-54 Broad Street, and the company flourished under generations of family leadership. Expansion necessitated moves around lower Manhattan, with name changes reflecting shifts of management–James Brewster & Sons operated at 25 Canal Street, James Brewster Sons at 396 Broadway, and Brewster of Broome Street was based at 372 & 374 Broome Street with a repository (showroom) on 14th Street & Fifth Avenue. By 1874, Brewster & Company had 400 employees and combined warehouse and factory facilities at 47th & 48th Streets and Broadway. Brewster successfully branched out to produce their own automobiles, as well as supplying bodies for Rolls Royce at their Long Island City location. Notable clientele included Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, August Belmont, J.P. Morgan, John Jacob Astor, Andrew J. Cassatt (brother of artist Mary Cassatt), William Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick and Pierre Lorillard. Talented draftsmen employed by the firm included Paul Steinbeck, Herman Stahmer and John Gribbon, the latter teaching at the Carriage Builders and Designers Technical School, which opened in 1880 and was housed initially at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. When the company finally dissolved in 1923, its last owner William Brewster (1866–1949) donated its archive of design and presentation drawings to the Museum where he served as benefactor and trustee. Of all American carriage manufacturers, none was as highly regarded for design, finish and quality as Brewster & Company. They won many awards for outstanding workmanship, including the Legion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor) at the 1878 Paris Exposition (3rd World’s Fair). In appreciation for this achievement the Carriage Builders’ National Association presented them with a gold enameled Tiffany & Company plaque and autograph book signed by leading American carriage builders, both now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Portrait of a Seated Man
Object type: painting
Materials: oil, wood
Artist: gerard ter borch the younger
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: dutch
Artist dates: 1617 – 1681
Subjects: men,portraits

Although Ter Borch was born in the comparatively provincial eastern Dutch town of Zwolle and made his career at nearby Deventer after 1654, he was intimately familiar with painting in Haarlem, Amsterdam, and The Hague. He also travelled internationally before 1650, most importantly to depict members of the Dutch and Spanish courts at the peace negotiations of 1646–48 at Munster. This experience and his refined style and perception of character made ter Borch a very successful portraitist in and around Deventer. This portrait was probably painted there in the late 1650s.

Door Guardian (Dvarapala)
Object type: figure
Date: 301 – 400
Materials: plaster
Culture: gandhara
Subjects: gandhara,men

Similar armored guardian figures were found flanking a doorway of a monastery at the Gandharan site of Thareli; clearly, this example also had significance as a protective deity. It is interesting that the monks chose to integrate such non-Buddhist deities into the embellishment of their monastic residences. The appearance of such protectors probably can be linked to the growing importance of the war god Skanda in the late Gandharan tradition.

Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: irish
Artist dates: 1797 – 1868

This political satire responds to the resignation of four Cabinet members from Lord Gray's administration in May 1834. A coach (lettered "Reform") tips over in the background as William IV looks out the window and shouts "Help! help!". On the roof, Lord Brougham says to Lord Melbourne "Sit fast M__lb__ne, these fellows have done much better to have kept their places; I think one ought always to keep one's place as long as one can." Behind the coatch, the Duke of Richmond holds the head of Lord Ripon who lies on the ground. At left, Edward Stanley addresses Sir James Graham, who is on the ground and says, "Well I think we did right to jump off, although we may have got a little hurt or so:__I told you Johnny would upset the Coach."

Two Quadrants

Twee bijna identieke clinometers om de maximale helling van een slingerend schip te meten. Beide zijn van messing, gemonteerd op een houten achterplaatje met het middelpunt van de boog bovenaan. De schaal op de boog loopt van 0° tot 45° naar iedere kant. De buitenrand van de boog is getand, iedere kant in tegengestelde richting. De twee wijzers hebben pallen tegen de achterkant, die in de tanden grijpen: hierdoor kunnen zij alleen naar buiten bewegen langs de boog. Met de hand kunnen de pallen losgemaakt worden om de wijzers weer naar 0° terug te brengen. Door een kleine onderbreking van de palrand kunnen de wijzers niet in elkaars achtste van de boog terecht komen. De tanden van het kwadrant A verdelen de boog in kwart graden, die op het kwadrant B in halve graden. De wijzers op het kwadrant A lopen met kleine rolletjes over de graadboog. Als het schip slingerde, sloeg iedere wijzer uit naar de kant waar het schip overhelde en gaf de maximum helling aan.
