Date: 1622-23.The picture may have been painted in Seville, where Velázquez was trained, or in Madrid, where he moved in 1623. The realism of the figures, the strong dramatic light, and the attention to still-life details recall the work of Caravaggio, which Velázquez would have known in Seville through copies. Christ is shown at the moment when he is recognized by two disciples following his resurrection, as "he took bread, blessed and broke it, and handed it to them.".

alb3676975 Mademoiselle V. in the Costume of an Espada. Artist: Édouard Manet (French, Paris 1832-1883 Paris). Dimensions: 65 x 50 1/4 in. (165.1 x 127.6 cm). Date: 1862.Manet depicted model Victorine Meurent (1844-1928) in the guise of a male espada, or matador, borrowing her pose from a Renaissance print. Victorine's shoes are unsuitable for bullfighting, and the pink cape that she flourishes is the wrong hue, but she carries off her role with panache. The backdrop reproduces a scene from Goya's Tauromaquia series, celebrating the feats of bullfighters. When this painting was exhibited at the infamous Salon des Refusés of 1863, a commentator noted, "Manet loves Spain, and his favorite master seems to be Goya, whose vivid and contrasting hues, whose free and fiery touch he imitates.".

alb3620232 Seasons and Elements (Spring) (set of four). Culture: French, Paris. Designer: Border probably designed by Jean Lemoyen le Lorrain (1637/38-1709); Possibly after a design by Charles Le Brun (French, Paris 1619-1690 Paris). Dimensions: L. 164 x W. 108 inches (416.6 x 274.3 cm). Patron: Commissioned for Marquise de Montespan (1641-1707). Date: ca. 1683.Designed and embroidered probably in the convent of Saint-Joseph-de-la-Providence for the Marquise de Montespan (1641-1707), these hanging (46.43.1-.4) may have adorned the king's apartment at the château de Rambouillet. The embroidery representing Air shows the figure of Louis XIV. The other three hangings depict three of the six children of the king and Madame de Montespan, symbolizing Spring, Summer, and Fire. The set almost certainly included Autumn and Winter, as well as water; Madame de Montespan herself was perhaps depicted as Juno, representing Earth. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: ca. 1892.Beginning in 1891 Chase taught at a summer art school in Shinnecock, Long Island. The following year, he and his family moved into their new summer home, Shinnecock Hall, which had been designed and built by the well-known firm of McKim, Mead and White. Chase taught at the beach resort until 1902, conducting open-air classes for as many as a hundred students each summer. This work is characteristic of the outdoor scenes that Chase painted during the 1890s on Long Island beaches. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3629714 Wolf and Fox Hunt. Artist: Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, Siegen 1577-1640 Antwerp) and Workshop. Dimensions: 96 5/8 x 148 1/8 in. (245.4 x 376.2 cm). Date: ca. 1616.With characteristic business acumen, Rubens created a market for a new art form: very large hunting scenes painted on canvas, of which this one is the first. The few earlier examples were either models for or copies after tapestries, but Rubens's large "hunts" of about 1616-21 were made as replacements for that very expensive medium. This canvas, originally more symmetrical in design, was trimmed at the top and left side because (according to a client in 1616) "none but great Princes have houses fitt to hange it up in." Rubens painted the picture with the help of assistants but declared that the wolves were his own work. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3602725 Orpheus and Eurydice. Artist: Marcantonio Raimondi (Italian, Argini (?) ca. 1480-before 1534 Bologna (?)); After? Francesco Francia (Italian, Bologna ca. 1447-1517 Bologna). Dimensions: 5 1/16 x 3 7/8in. (12.9 x 9.8cm). Date: ca. 1500-1506.Marcantonio depicts the famed musician Orpheus (son of Apollo and the Muse Calliope) and his beloved Eurydice, who on their wedding day had been fatally bitten by a snake. The inconsolable groom descended to Hades, land of the dead, where his singing and lyre so charmed Pluto and Proserpina that he was allowed to lead Eurydice out of the Underworld. The moment shown may be when Eurydice, 'limping a little, from her late wound', as related by Ovid in his narrative poem 'Metamorphoses', was returned to Orpheus (Metamorphoses10.49).

alb3656199 Redgreen and Violet-Yellow Rhythms. Artist: Paul Klee (German (born Switzerland), Münchenbuchsee 1879-1940 Muralto-Locarno). Dimensions: 14 3/4 x 13 1/4in. (37.5 x 33.7cm). Date: 1920.Klee did not embrace abstraction in sheer pursuit of some deep spiritual goal, as did Kandinsky and Mondrian. Instead, as his titles playfully indicate, he just tried to keep reality at bay. When the artist began to work earnestly in oil in 1919, he painted a series of small works, mostly on cardboard, that had as their subject matter magic landscapes or gardens. Here the little fir trees placed on a sort of Cubist ground evoke some enchanted forest. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3652916 Coin of Ptolemy III from a Ptolemaic hoard. Dimensions: Dia. 2.8 cm (1 1/8 in.). Date: 246-222 B.C..A hoard of 162 Ptolemaic coins that contained issue of Ptolemy II, III, and IV, but apparently no later king, was discovered in a jar buried in a pit in front of a large Ptolemaic tomb in Thebes. Accumulations of coins were not usually burial offering; these coins were likely buried in order to be hidden by someone who failed to return to recover them. The dates of the coins suggest they may have been hidden at the time of a major native uprisings in the north and in the south at the end of Ptolemy IV's reign and into the reign of Ptolemy V. The uprising lasted in the south of the country for 20 years from 206-186 B.C., and saw the establishment of nativer rulers Herwennefer and Ankhwennefer.

(20.9 x 8 x 8.2 cm)Overall (with strap extended): 15 9/16 x 3 1/8 x 3 1/4 in. (39.6 x 8 x 8.2 cm). Date: 1450-1500.Etui in medieval inventories and expense accounts was a general term for storage or travel containers of various materials and sizes. One such inventory of the early fourteenth century itemizes a small étui de cuir bouilli, was purchased to hold a painting by Jehan d'Orléans, painter to King Charles VI of France. The term cuir bouilli, literally, "boiled leather," is used to describe a particular type of leather decoration. Soaked in a lukewarm solution of resin or wax to make it soft and flexible, the leather was molded into the desired shape. Decorative patterns were then tooled or impressed on the surface and often highlighted in color, gilding, or punching.References are also made to small étui of cuir bouilli which were designed specifically to be attached to one's costume. Used to carry quill pens, ink wells, books, cutlery, and other personal possessions, these objects are frequently depicted in fifteenth-century paintings and manuscript illuminations. This Italian example has two interior compartments designed to contain a knife and spoon, and is inscribed A BONA FEDE DE TEL BON ("in good faith of so good" [a heart]); the tooled heart that appears at the end of the inscription replaces the actual word.

alb3667223 Veduta interna dell'Atrio del Portico di Ottavia (Internal View of the Atrium of the Portico of Octavia), in: 'Vedute di Roma' (Views of Rome). Artist: Giovanni Battista Piranesi (Italian, Mogliano Veneto 1720-1778 Rome). Dimensions: Plate: 22 x 28 in. (55.9 x 71.1 cm). Series/Portfolio: Vedute di Roma (Views of Rome). Date: 1760.This view places the spectator within the best preserved section of the complex of colonnades originally built in the Republican era and later restored by Emperor Augustus, who dedicated the portico to his sister Octavia. Although the name survives from the Augustan restoration, such visible remains as the elegant Corinthian columns and the form of the pediment, hemmed in by medieval accretions, date to a later reconstruction by Septimius Severus. Piranesi shows the space as it looked in the eighteenth century, with the stalls of the fishmarket, which had long been held within the portico, visible along one wall of the atrium and continuing down a corridor into the distance.The sensation of brilliant sunlight is masterfully achieved in this etching and may owe something to the example of Canaletto's views of Venice (1973.634), produced around the time that Piranesi returned home in 1744. Piranesi's own sensitivity to light effects--one of his early biographers records that he committed to memory the appearance of changing light on the ancient walls, from the full glare of the sun to the cool illumination of the moon--was one of the qualities that made his views of Rome so exceptional. The love for the texture and heft of blocks of stone and the fascination with their manner of cutting and assembly that is so evident here, and in many of his other prints, may have been the legacy of Piranesi's father, a stonemason and master builder.

alb3669098 Untitled (Cracked Watermelon). Artist: Charles Ethan Porter (1847-1923). Dimensions: 19 1/8 × 28 3/16 in. (48.6 × 71.6 cm). Date: ca. 1890.The largely Connecticut-based, New York- and Paris-trained Porter was among the first African American artists to exhibit his work nationally. "Untitled (Cracked Watermelon)" is one of his largest and most impressive still lifes. Its subject--originally an African gourd brought to the New World by seventeenth-century Spaniards and cultivated by colonists--is also significant. Porter chose to paint what had been an earlier symbol of American abundance--and during the Civil War period one particularly associated with free blacks--when it was increasingly defined by virulent stereotyping. By reclaiming the "American" subject in artistic terms (and with a French stylistic flavor), Porter challenged a contemporary racist trope. A tour de force of the artist's mature style--perfected in Paris under the influence of the work of Henri Fantin-Latour and Edouard Manet--"Untitled (Cracked Watermelon)" reveals Porter's bravura handling of paint as well as his skills as a colorist in the composition's dramatic light-dark contrasts of complementary colors. After decades of success painting still lifes of fruit and flowers--with the support of patrons such as Samuel Clemens and Frederic Edwin Church--Porter died in poverty and obscurity. A resurgence of interest in his work dates to the late 1980s. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
