alb3683429 Close Helmet with Mask Visor in Form of a Human Face. Armorer: Attributed to Kolman Helmschmid (German, Augsburg 1471-1532). Culture: German, Augsburg. Dimensions: H. 12 in. (30.5 cm); W. 9 3/4 in. (24.8 cm); D. 13 in. (33 cm); Wt. 4 lb. 12 oz. (2146 g). Date: ca. 1515.Helmets fitted with masklike visors were a popular German and Austrian fashion about 1510 to 1540. With their visors forged and embossed as humorous or grotesque human masks, such helmets were often worn in tournaments held during the exuberant pre-Lenten (Shrovetide) festivals, celebrations somewhat akin to the modern Mardi Gras. Substitute visors of more conventional type were often provided for everyday use. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3682714 Philip II, King of Spain, from the series Counts and Countesses of Holland, Zeeland, and West-Frisia. Artist: Engraved by Cornelis Visscher (Dutch, Haarlem (?) 1629-1658 Amsterdam). Artist and publisher: Pieter Soutman (Dutch, ca. 1580-1657). Author: Written by Petrus Scriverius. Dimensions: sheet: 20 1/2 x 15 1/8 in. (52 x 38.4 cm)plate: 16 x 11 3/4 in. (40.6 x 29.8 cm). Series/Portfolio: Counts and Countesses of Holland, Zeeland, and West-Frisia. Date: 1650. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Engraved by Cornelis Visscher.

alb3682728 Falling Buffe. Armorer: Attributed to Kolman Helmschmid (German, Augsburg 1471-1532). Culture: German, Augsburg. Dimensions: H. 10 in. (25.4 cm); W. 8 1/2 in. (21.6 cm). Date: ca. 1525.This type of face defense is called a falling buffe because its segments can be collapsed downward to allow for easier breathing and greater visability, or locked in an upright position to fully protect the face. It was probably made by the celebrated Augsburg armorer Kolman Helmschmid in about 1525 and is very similar in form and decoration to another helmet in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, also attributed to Helmschmid, which is a type known as a closed burgonet (accession number 27.159.18). Both that helmet and this buffe came from the armory of the Dos Aguas family in Valencia, Spain. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3635227 Amorini Celebrate the Rape of Proserpine. Artist: Francesco Rosaspina (Italian, Montescudo 1762-1841 Bologna); After Francesco Albani (Italian, Bologna 1578-1660 Bologna). Dimensions: oval image: 22 1/8 x 27 in. (56.2 x 68.6 cm)sheet (trimmed within platemark): 24 3/8 x 29 7/8 in. (61.9 x 75.9 cm). Date: 1805-12.Rosaspina believed that he could translate the color and style of a painting only if the work was in front of him as he engraved, which is one reason it took him so long to complete this, his most famous print. Because there were long intervals between his visits to Milan, where Albani's painting was located, several proofs in different stages of completion survive. Albani's famous painting of dancing cupids, now in the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan, is based on Ovid's account of Proserpina's ravishment by Pluto (the Greek Hades). See 45.78.123 for the finished state. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3681136 Democritus in Meditation. Artist: Salvator Rosa (Italian, Arenella (Naples) 1615-1673 Rome). Dimensions: Sheet: 18 7/16 x 11 1/8 in. (46.8 x 28.2 cm). Date: 1662. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3633164 Self-Portrait. Artist: William Orpen (British, 1878-1931). Dimensions: 40 1/8 x 33 1/8 in. (101.9 x 84.1 cm). Date: ca. 1910.Born in Ireland, William Orpen studied in Dublin from 1892 to 1896 and went to London for further study at the Slade School of Fine Art in 1896. For the rest of his life, he lived and worked in London. There he received a number of honors, including membership in the New English Art Club, a governmental appointment as an official war artist during World War I, and a knighthood in 1918. He continued to work as a fashionable portrait painter during the 1920s, portraying wealthy and prestigious sitters in a traditional, highly polished style that rejected more recent developments in avant-garde art. He also produced a number of realistic self-portraits, both before and after the war, including Myself and Cupid (1910, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh) and Ready to Start (1917, Imperial War Museum, London).This self-portrait, also known as Leading the Life in the West, refers to Orpen's life as a young artist in the West End of London. Orpen stands reflected full-length in a mirror in his studio, wearing a bowler hat and holding gloves and a riding crop. A shelf below the mirror holds paintbrushes and rags, the tools of the artist's trade, as well as several bottles of liquor. Various pieces of correspondence, including an I.O.U. signed by Orpen, are tucked behind the frame of the mirror, further testifying to the pleasures and distractions of the painter's early career. The space of the picture is shallow but complex, with Orpen using his skills as a draftsman to resolve the challenges of surface, lighting, and reflection that he has set for himself. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3680412 Benedikt von Hertenstein (born about 1495, died 1522). Artist: Hans Holbein the Younger (German, Augsburg 1497/98-1543 London). Dimensions: Overall 20 1/2 x 15 in. (52.4 x 38.1 cm); painted surface 20 3/8 x 14 5/8 in. (51.4 x 37.1 cm). Date: 1517.In 1517 Holbein decorated the house of the Lucerne magistrate Jacob von Hertenstein. Concurrently, he made this portrait of the magistrate's eldest son, Benedikt, who engages the viewer both with his direct glance and the inscription, which reads as if he is speaking: "When I looked like this I was twenty-two years old." Directly following these words is the declaration that "H.H." painted the work. The artist's use of paper mounted on wood is unusual but not unique. He initiated the portrait as a drawing on paper and then continued working up in oil colors to its completion. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3639571 Roundel (tondo). Artist: possibly workshop of Giovanni Maria Vasaro (Italian (Castel Durante), active early 16th century). Culture: Italian, Castel Durante. Dimensions: Diameter: 8 3/4 in. (22.2 cm). Date: ca. 1510-20.Regarded as one of the most beautiful pieces of maiolica (a refined tin-glazed pottery) ever made, this bowl is splendidly decorated with symbols of papal authority, such as keys and the tiara, and personal references to Pope Julius II della Rovere and his family, such as the oak tree. Julius probably commissioned the bowl for his supporter, the Bolognese envoy Melchiorre di Giorgio Manzoli--whose coat of arms appears at the lower edge--to commemorate the reestablishment of papal rule in Bologna in 1506. Giovanni Maria Vasaro, whose name is inscribed on the back, may have been the painter or the owner of the workshop in Castel Durante that produced the bowl. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3630277 Amorini Celebrate the Rape of Proserpina. Artist: Francesco Rosaspina (Italian, Montescudo 1762-1841 Bologna); After Francesco Albani (Italian, Bologna 1578-1660 Bologna). Dimensions: Plate: 25 9/16 x 30 5/16 in. (65 x 77 cm)Sheet: 26 3/4 × 34 1/8 in. (68 × 86.7 cm). Date: 1805-12.Having conquered the sky and the earth, Venus told her son that she wished to extend their dominion to the Underworld. Cupid aimed his sharpest arrow at Pluto, causing him to fall violently in love with Proserpina, who was gathering flowers with her companions (right background) in a land of perpetual spring. Carrying her off in his chariot, Pluto disregarded the pleas of the nymph of the Bay of Cyane (left background) and plunged through the Sicilian bay into his subterranean realm (Metamorphoses 5.363-424).After her daughter's abduction, the distraught Ceres, goddess of the harvest, neglected her duties and the crops failed. To restore the earth's fertility, Jupiter decreed that Proserpina spend part of each year above ground. With her annual return comes the spring. Albani ignored the seasonal implications of the myth in order to focus on Love's triumph.See 23.106.61 for an incomplete proof impression. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3638427 Composition. Artist: Piet Mondrian (Dutch, Amersfoort 1872-1944 New York). Dimensions: 19 1/2 x 19 1/2 in. (49.5 x 49.5 cm). Date: 1921.This is an early example of the geometric mode of painting that Mondrian called Neo-Plasticism. The abstract two-dimensional nature of these compositions formed a new universal aesthetic language that was popularized through the magazine De Stijl. The avant-garde movement known by the same name held the promise of constructing a postwar world with a common point of visual reference, a way of abolishing artistic and even social hierarchies. Here, Mondrian uses thick black lines to divide the canvas into eleven different rectangles, some of which are painted in primary shades of red and blue. He created lighter hues by mixing primary colors with white. Over time, Mondrian ceased diluting his palette altogether in favor of pure primary colors.

alb3633784 The Annunciation. Artist: Joos van Cleve (Netherlandish, Cleve ca. 1485-1540/41 Antwerp). Dimensions: 34 x 31 1/2 in. (86.4 x 80 cm). Date: ca. 1525.Gabriel and Mary are presented within an elaborately furnished interior that would have been familiar to sixteenth-century viewers. However, most of the objects, arranged unobtrusively within the room, carry symbolic meaning. The altarpiece and the woodcut on the wall, for example, show Old Testament prophets as prefigurations of New Testament themes. Influenced by Italian art, Joos appropriated a new canon of beauty, a new repertory of rhetorical gesture, and a striking grace of movement in his figures.

alb3631131 Armor. Armorer: Helmet, pauldrons, and vambraces attributed to Kolman Helmschmid (German, Augsburg 1471-1532). Culture: German, Augsburg. Dimensions: Wt. approx. 48 lb. 7 oz. (21.97 kg). Date: ca. 1525 and later.The helmet, pauldrons (shoulder defenses), and vambraces (arm defenses) of this armor are attributed to Kolman Helmschmid based on comparison with his known works. The helmet's distinctive snub-nosed visor appears to be a form that he originated and used on three other helmets, all dating from the mid-1520s. The decoration of these elements is typical of the style of Daniel Hopfer of Augsburg (about 1470-1536), a celebrated armor-etcher and printmaker, who is known to have decorated armors made by members of the the Helmschmid family.The remainder of this armor is composed of southern German elements from about 1520 to 1530, except for minor restorations.

alb3630151 Medal of Kolman Helmschmid (1471-1532). Culture: German, Augsburg. Designer: After a model by Hans Kels the Younger (German, 1508/10-1565). Dimensions: Diam. 1 15/16 in. (50 mm); Wt. 1.6 oz. (44.96 g). Date: dated 1532.This is an exceedingly rare example of a Renaissance medal of an armorer, which celebrates the life and accomplishments of Kolman Helmschmid (1471-1532), one of the greatest armorers of sixteenth-century Europe, and one of the most important artists represented in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's holdings of arms and armor.Designed by the Augsburg medalist Hans Kels the Younger, the medal is among his earliest works, and one of only four examples known. The comparable examples are preserved in the Münzkabinett of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin-Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Berlin; the Münzkabinett of the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum, Brunswick; and the Staatliche Münzsammlung, Munich.The medal provides an eloquent testimony of the high standing of Kolman Helmschmid among the artists of his day, and of the recognized need to preserve his memory from oblivion. Renaissance medals were almost exclusively created in honor of princes and powerful noblemen and patricians. Kolman is not only one of very few European armorers of whom medals are known; he also is the earliest to have secured that distinction. Since the date on the medal is the year of his death, it is probable that the latter was commissioned posthumously, as a supplement to an earlier medal of him, which the Augsburg medalist Hans Schwarz had created in 1518.
