Junction of the Severn and Wye, from Liber Studiorum, no. 28
Object type: print
Materials: paper
Techniques: aquatint, etching, mezzotint
Location: england
Artist: joseph mallord william turner
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1775 – 1851

J. M. W. Turner’s paintings epitomized the sublime, a sense of awe-inspiring beauty beyond simple loveliness. His evocative etching and mezzotint print series, the Liber Studiorum (1807–19), was just as influential. Printed in sepia lines and tonal areas evoking Old Master drawing ink and modeling, Turner’s series of 71 prints is an extended ode to the landscape. The letters above each work designate the subject type, including architectural (A), pastoral (P) and elevated pastoral (EP), and historical (H), marine (M), and mountainous (M). Turner’s exhaustive categories inspired John Constable to produce a further-specialized mezzotint series of 22 English landscapes.

Bottle illustrating Meritptah honoring Bastet
Object type: jar, offering scene
Date: 1279 – 1213
Materials: silver
Location: egypt
Subjects: women,hieroglyphs

Wine was a coveted drink starting in Egypt’s earliest days, though wine services do not have a long history there, as strainers were not found before the New Kingdom. The importance of wine grew during that period, as intoxicating drinks played a prominent role in festivals and in communal celebrations. When associated with Bastet and other feline goddesses, these drinks helped partakers emulate the drunkenness that brought about the goddesses’ pacification. Such practices probably occurred in festivals for Bastet in Tell Basta, where this and other vessels were found. The vessels were buried in two caches close to the temple, along with silver and gold jewelry, ingots, and lesser objects. Rare in antiquity, most silver and gold vessels were later melted down and reused for new projects. The Tell Basta hoards are thus exceptional finds. Bottles like this one might be used for mixing wine.

New England Headlands
Object type: painting
Date: 1899 – 1899
Materials: canvas, oil
Location: gloucester
Artist: childe hassam
Artist nationality: american
Artist dates: 1859 – 1935
Subjects: landscapes, weather/seasons, water, century of progress, world's fairs, chicago world's fairs, architecture
Inscriptions: Signed recto, bottom-left, on rocks, in pink paint: "Childe Hassam", in dark paint: "1899".

This panoramic landscape depicts one of Childe Hassam’s favorite destinations: Gloucester, Massachusetts. During the summer months Gloucester was home to many artists, who, like Hassam, chose to emphasize its picturesque aspects, such as its quaint buildings and sailing vessels, rather than its fish-processing plants. The composition exhibits Hassam’s broken brushwork and his use of bare canvas, particularly in the foreground. Bright, saturated blues and crisp whites add to the maritime tenor of the work, while the square canvas highlights its architectural quality and harmoniously organized space.

Court culture dictated that young noble children were expected to be dressed like adults, and this led to the production of scaled-down fashion accessories like smallswords. The size of this sword suggests it was made for a boy of between four and six. A seemingly dangerous proposition, children’s swords were often tied firmly into their scabbards so that they wouldn’t hurt themselves or someone else.

Field Armor Probably of Sir John 
Scudamore (1541 or 1542–1623)
Object type: field armor
Materials: gold, leather, steel
Culture: british
Location: united states
Artist: jacob halder
Artist role: armorer
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1558 – 1608

Sir John Scudamore (1541 or 1542–1623) was appointed a Gentleman Pensioner by Queen Elizabeth I (reigned 1558–1603) in 1571 or 1572 and knighted in 1592. This armor probably was commissioned by him in preparation for the threatened Spanish invasion of England in 1588. It was made in the royal workshops at Greenwich during the tenure of Jacob Halder (documented in England 1558–1608) as master armorer. The remains of this and the later Scudamore armor for his son James (Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 11.189.2) were found, badly damaged and incomplete, in 1909, in Holme Lacy, the ancestral home of the Scudamores. The armors were restored and completed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1915, by the armorer Daniel Tachaux. The parts made by Tachaux include the helmet, left pauldron (shoulder defense), gauntlets, and right sabaton (foot defense).
