Materials: gold
Subjects: flowers

In eighteenth-century Europe, Paris led the production of high-quality luxury goods. Parisian goldsmiths made a wide range of small, personal articles such as snuffboxes; étuis to hold sealing wax, tweezers, or utensils for sewing; souvenirs, which contained thin ivory tablets for note taking; and shuttles for knotting lace. Gold snuffboxes and boxes decorated with portrait miniatures were prized and frequently given as royal gifts, often to ambassadors or members of the court in lieu of cash payments for their services. Coveted and admired, these boxes were produced from a variety of materials. The best were skillfully made of gold and embellished with diamonds, enameled decoration, lacquer, and other luxurious materials. By the middle of the century, the taking of snuff had become an entrenched social ritual, and the snuffbox, too, had become an important social prop. Snuffboxes were considered highly fashionable accessories, with some merchants advertising new boxes with each change of season. The popularity of snuffboxes extended to all levels of society, and for those who could not afford gold, boxes were produced in less expensive materials such as silver, tortoiseshell, porcelain, or domestically produced lacquer.

This is the second in a set of four tapestries illustrating the life of a man as divided into twelve periods of six years. Ceres, in the center, stands for the summertime of life; the symbols and occupations of three months, April, May, and June, represent the years from ages 18 to 36. Ceres, Roman goddess of the harvest, is identified in a Latin elegiac distich on a scroll. The pansies and daisies of Ceres’s dress are not traditionally her flowers, and it has been suggested that they may refer here to the possible patron of this tapestry series, Margaret of Austria, Governor of the Habsburg Netherlands from 1507 until 1530. The green bird conspicuous in the composition might also have been intended as a reference to Margaret of Austria, who apparently owned a green parrot. Each of the three vertical sections includes a roundel at the top surrounded by twenty-four hourglasses on a ground that is light above and dark below, in varied proportions, according to the seasons. Each roundel contains a sign of the zodiac, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer, and figures variously symbolizing April, May and June. The roundels are seen against the sky, which is dark blue at the top, and are flanked by winds, most with their names inscribed on their bellows or elsewhere. Below the two outer roundels are representations of the months’ occupations: gardening for April and sheep-shearing for June. Below the occupations and the center roundels are episodes from mythology and classical history illustrating protagonists associated with particular ages of a man. Under April is the sleeping youth Hercules, proving his new-found maturity by choosing Minerva and Discipline over Venus and Vice. Under May, Venus and Adonis dally. Under June, the soldier being presented with arms is identified in his banderol as "Curius", probably indicating Marcus Curius Dentatus, who was prized for refusing brides from the Samnite ambassadors, represented by the alluring maidens surrounding him. Given that he seems to be accepting the weaponry, an alternative identification sometimes suggested is that this is the triumphant young soldier Lucius Sicinius Dentatus whom, Pliny writes, was presented with arms in recognition of his bravery. The two outer episodes have framed pairs of verses in Latin, supported by pedestals, between them and the occupation of the month above; the center episode has a similar inscription between it and the deity below. The verses refer to the story illustrated. In the upper border, on scrolls held by winged boys, are three Latin couplets connecting each month with an age in the life of a man. In the lower border, flanking the inscription below the deity, are two medallions containing an animal, bird or object. The foregrounds of all the scenes are filled with flowering and fruiting plants.

Object type: statue
Materials: bronze
Artist: auguste rodin
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1840 – 1917
Subjects: male nudes

Rodin’s breakout sculpture, The Age of Bronze caused a critical scandal for its extreme naturalism and ambiguous subject matter. Fashioned over a period of eighteen months and based on a live model, the sculpture depicts a suspended moment of human awakening, either to suffering or to joy. First exhibited in 1877 in Brussels with the title The Conquered Man (Le Vaincu [literal translation, "The Vanquished"]), it was displayed later the same year in Paris with its current title. Rodin promoted the work’s multiple interpretations, saying, "There are at least four figures in it."

Scenes of boys at play, which originated in the Song period (960–1279), are common in Chinese decorative arts. They express the wish for offspring and the joy of having them. One of the two lively fellows at the center of this small plate is riding a hobbyhorse, a toy that may have originated in China; the other plays a drum. Sprigs of bamboo, plum, orchid, and chrysanthemum decorate the borders.

Figure of a Sacred (likely Apis) Bull
Object type: figure of an apis bull, sacred
Date: 664 – 630
Materials: metal
Location: egypt

Although uninscribed, the sun disk and horns identify this figure as the image of a sacred bull, most likely the Apis. Such figures come in a variety of sizes and qualities, and can be decorated with trappings such as engraved blankets or amulets. Inscribed examples show that they were often dedicated to the god by specific people wishing to share in the cult. This example might represent an offering from a less wealthy patron. The worship of the Apis, considered the earthly incarnation of the god Ptah and also seen as a deity in its own right, is attested as early as Dynasty 1. The single living representative, chosen according to specific markings such as a white triangle on the forehead and black patches resembling winged birds or scarabs on the body, was stabled near the temple of Ptah at Memphis, and, starting at least in the reign of Amenhotep III (ca. 1350 B.C.) buried in a vast catacomb known as the Serapeum at the Memphite necropolis of Saqqara.

Temple near the Appian Way, from "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae"
Object type: print
Date: 1501 – 1600
Techniques: engraving
Artist: Anonymous
Artist role: artist
Subjects: temples,rome

This print comes from the museum’s copy of the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (The Mirror of Roman Magnificence) The Speculum found its origin in the publishing endeavors of Antonio Salamanca and Antonio Lafreri. During their Roman publishing careers, the two foreign publishers - who worked together between 1553 and 1563 - initiated the production of prints recording art works, architecture and city views related to Antique and Modern Rome. The prints could be bought individually by tourists and collectors, but were also purchased in larger groups which were often bound together in an album. In 1573, Lafreri commissioned a title page for this purpose, which is where the title ‘Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae’ first appears. Lafreri envisioned an ideal arrangement of the prints in 7 different categories, but during his lifetime, never appears to have offered one standard, bound set of prints. Instead, clients composed their own selection from the corpus to be bound, or collected a group of prints over time. When Lafreri died, two-third of the existing copper plates went to the Duchetti family (Claudio and Stefano), while another third was distributed among several publishers. The Duchetti appear to have standardized production, offering a more or less uniform version of the Speculum to their clients. The popularity of the prints also inspired other publishers in Rome to make copies however, and to add new prints to the corpus. The museum’s copy of the Speculum entered the collection as a group of 3 albums with inlaid engravings and etchings. The prints have since been removed, but the original place of each print within the album is contained in the accession number: 41.72(volume.place). Originally volume 1, plate 40 in the scrapbook.

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.

The mold-impressed design on either side of these two jars is suggestive of classic Greek ornament. The scrolling grapevine decorative motif has an ultimate Hellenistic prototype; it can be traced from the West through Central Asia to China. This design became part of the Chinese decorative repertoire in several kinds of art in the Six Dynasties (220–589) period. (According to tradition, the domesticated grape itself was introduced into China from the West in the second century B.C.)
