alb3630891 The Singer in Green. Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834-1917 Paris). Dimensions: 23 3/4 x 18 1/4 in. (60.3 x 46.4 cm). Date: ca. 1884.A sale catalogue of 1898 evocatively described the performer pictured in this pastel: "Skinny and with the graceful moves of a little monkey, she has just sung her ribald verses and, with a gesture that conceals an entreaty behind her smile, is inviting applause." With her small eyes, high cheeks, and low brow, the model recalls Marie von Goethem, the working-class girl who posed for Degas's sculpture The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer. The singer's dress, rendered in vivid yellow, turquoise, and orange, reflects the artist's experimentation with saturated hues and color contrasts in the mid-1880s. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3681178 Joséphine-Éléonore-Marie-Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Béarn (1825-1860), Princesse de Broglie. Artist: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (French, Montauban 1780-1867 Paris). Dimensions: 47 3/4 x 35 3/4 in. (121.3 x 90.8 cm). Date: 1851-53.Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, the neo-classical French artist par excellence, painted this masterpiece toward the end of his life when his reputation as a portraitist to prominent citizens and Orléanist aristocrats had been long established. Pauline de Broglie sat for the artist's final commission. Ingres captures the shy reserve of his subject while illuminating through seamless brushwork the material quality of her many fine attributes: her rich blue satin and lace ball gown, the gold embroidered shawl, and silk damask chair, together with finely tooled jewels of pearl, enamel, and gold. The portrait was commissioned by the sitter's husband, Albert de Broglie, a few years after their ill-fated marriage. Pauline was stricken with tuberculosis soon after completion of the exquisite portrait, leaving five sons and a grieving husband. Through Albert's lifetime, it was draped in fabric on the walls of the family residence. The portrait remained in the de Broglie family until shortly before Robert Lehman acquired it. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3635175 Ferdinando de' Medici (1663-1713), Grand Prince of Tuscany. Artist: Giovanni Battista Foggini (Italian, Florence 1652-1725 Florence). Culture: Italian, Florence. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 38 3/4 × 28 7/8 × 14 in., 337 lb. (98.4 × 73.3 × 35.6 cm, 152.9 kg). Date: ca. 1680-82.These meltingly carved busts of father (1993.332.1) and son are surely the finest examples of the portrait style of G. B. Foggini, the leading sculptor of the Florentine Baroque. While strong echoes of Bernini date the creation of the pair to shortly after the younger artist's return from Rome, they already exhibit Foggini's talent for the depiction of material opulence that earned him the post of Medici court sculptor. Dynamic contrasts abound: the fragile lace cravats and lavish mantles (emulating modes of the contemporary French court) set off the realistically depicted faces. They in turn provide their own study in contrasts: the commanding pose and classic Habsburg physiognomy of the balding father serve as counterpoint to the sweet, somewhat unformed face of the youth, overwhelmed by a delirious cascade of curls. Foggini's artistic genius inaugurated the final flourish of Medici patronage. These busts, modeled from life, were followed by a series portraying other family members, all intended to promote the political aspirations of the fading dynasty. Their acquisition served to link our major series of Roman Baroque portrait busts to a growing collection of stunning small-scale Florentine sculptures of that period. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

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. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3636537 Maine Coast. Artist: Winslow Homer (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1836-1910 Prouts Neck, Maine). Dimensions: 30 x 40 in. (76.2 x 101.6 cm). Date: 1896.William Howe Downes, Homer's first biographer, had firsthand knowledge of the coast at Prouts Neck, Maine. He described this canvas as follows: "The design is of a rigid simplicity. We are looking seaward from the cliffs at Prouts Neck on a day of storm. At our feet the dark ledges are streaming with milky retreating foam, and just beyond them a monster wave raises its huge bulk as it comes shoreward with an exuberant look of tremendous power. Still further out to sea, in the gray mist, loom the oncoming lines of wave upon wave, until the horizon loses itself in a far turmoil of dimly seen billows.".

alb3622133 Dancer Adjusting Her Slipper. Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834-1917 Paris). Dimensions: Sheet: 13 x 9 5/8 in. (33 x 24.4cm). Date: 1873.Between 1873 and 1874, Degas made several studies of dancers adjusting their shoes, shown in different poses and from different angles. These drawings served as preparatory studies for his ballet scenes of the same period. Squared for transfer, the figure in this study was used in the 1874 pastel Dancers Resting (private collection); her tenuously held pose characterizes Degas's approach to his models. The same dancer, shown in three-quarter view, also appears in The Rehearsal of the Ballet Onstage in the Museum's collection (29.160.26). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3622076 Allegory of Louis XV as Patron of the Arts with Paintings and Sculpture from the Salon of 1769. Artist: Gabriel de Saint-Aubin (French, Paris 1724-1780 Paris). Dimensions: Sheet: 8 3/8 × 5 5/8 in. (21.3 × 14.3 cm). Date: ca. 1769.Saint-Aubin made copious sketches of works shown at the Salon, and this drawing features a compilation of several paintings and sculptures on view at the exhibition of 1769. All the sculptures depicted here have been identified and confirmed as having been on display, though the proportions of many objects have been manipulated. Rather than a painstaking recreation of the works on view, this drawing represents Saint-Aubin's rumination on artistic production: allegorical figures of the arts descend upon clouds to honor King Louis XV as a great patron, presenting his portrait to the viewer. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3622608 The Last Judgment. Artist: Joos van Cleve (Netherlandish, Cleve ca. 1485-1540/41 Antwerp). Dimensions: 48 3/4 x 34 in. (123.8 x 86.4 cm). Date: ca. 1520-25.This majestic scene is divided into heavenly and earthly zones, which are linked by two hovering angels blowing trumpets. Christ appears at the moment of judgment in a burst of light and color, surrounded by clouds and putti and flanked by the apostles. He blesses the saved, shown at lower left, while Saint Michael shepherds the damned into hell burning in the distance at the right. The nudes in the foreground reflect the artist's study of prints after Raphael's designs, and the figure of Christ seems to be inspired by the famous ancient sculpture of the Laocoön.

Date: 1888-92.Between 1888 and 1892 Renoir painted a number of works in which the same pair of girls--the blonde wearing a white frock and the brunette a pink one--engage in leisurely pastimes. Here, they pick flowers; the same models appear at the piano in a painting now in the Museum's Lehman Collection (1975.1.201). These intimate genre scenes, which celebrate youthful innocence, found a ready market in the early 1890s. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: AUGUSTE RENOIR.

alb3608035 The Gulf Stream. Artist: Winslow Homer (American, Boston, Massachusetts 1836-1910 Prouts Neck, Maine). Dimensions: 28 1/8 x 49 1/8 in. (71.4 x 124.8 cm). Date: 1899.Back in Prouts Neck, Maine, after one of his winter visits to the Bahamas, Homer painted this dramatic scene of imminent disaster. A man faces his demise on a dismasted, rudderless fishing boat, sustained by only a few stalks of sugarcane and threatened by sharks and a distant waterspout. He is oblivious to the schooner on the left horizon, which Homer later added to the canvas as a sign of hopeful rescue. Some art historians have read The Gulf Stream as symbolic, connecting it with the period's heightened racial tensions. The painting has also been interpreted as an expression of Homer's presumed sense of mortality and vulnerability following the death of his father. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3604079 Boy with a Greyhound. Artist: Paolo Veronese (Paolo Caliari) (Italian, Verona 1528-1588 Venice). Dimensions: 68 3/8 x 40 1/8 in. (173.7 x 101.9 cm). Date: possibly 1570s.This portrait was purchased by the great American collectors Harry and Louisine Havemeyer from the noble Martinengo family of Brescia, who believed it to represent a young man related to them from the Colleoni family of neighboring Bergamo. The painting, probably dating to the 1570s, hung in the Martinengo villa and its conception recalls Veronese's illusionistic frescoes in other Veneto villas, in one of which members of the family are shown as though entering the space of the viewer through an open door.The sky, painted in a fugitive smalt blue, has lost most of its color. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3605065 Design for the Base of a Vessel with Three Dolphins. Artist: Giovanni Battista Foggini (Italian, Florence 1652-1725 Florence). Dimensions: sheet: 3 7/16 x 3 1/8 in. (8.7 x 8 cm). Date: 1652-1725. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3653374 The Love Song. Artist: Sir Edward Burne-Jones (British, Birmingham 1833-1898 Fulham). Dimensions: 45 x 61 3/8 in. (114.3 x 155.9 cm). Date: 1868-77.Burne-Jones associated this painting with a refrain from a Breton folk ballad: "Alas, I know a love song, / Sad or happy, each in turn." Drawing inspiration from the gothicizing Pre-Raphaelite movement, the artist conjured a twilight scene with a richly romantic, medieval air, enhanced by allusions to Italian Renaissance art, from the warm, dewy colors to the gracious figures and original frame, which recalls sixteenth-and-seventeenth-century Venetian designs. When the picture was first exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery, London, in 1878, the novelist Henry James admiringly compared it to "some mellow Giorgione or some richly-glowing Titian.".

alb3615674 Alessandro Vittoria (1524/25-1608). Artist: Paolo Veronese (Paolo Caliari) (Italian, Verona 1528-1588 Venice). Dimensions: 43 1/2 x 32 1/4 in. (110.5 x 81.9 cm). Date: ca. 1580.In this portrait the features of the greatest Venetian sculptor of the later sixteenth century, Alessandro Vittoria, are recorded by the greatest painter of his generation, Veronese. Vittoria is shown with the model for one of his most famous statues, the Saint Sebastian, carved in 1561-62 for the church of San Francesco della Vigna in Venice. This figure was later cast by Vittoria twice as a bronze statuette--one of these belongs to the Metropolitan. Vittoria had portraits of himself holding his own sculpture painted by eminent artists at various times in his life; five were hung near the studio in his house where they could be seen by clients and visitors. This portrait was done around 1580 when the sitter was about fifty-five. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: 1860-62.Degas made sketches of this composition in a notebook he used during his second stay in Rome in 1857-58. Originally conceived as a depiction of a pensive woman, the picture assumed a mysterious air when Degas added the imaginary Middle Eastern cityscape, the pink flowers, and the two red ibises around 1860-62. About the same time he also considered adding the brilliant birds to his large historical painting Semiramis Building Babylon (Musée d'Orsay, Paris).

alb3611219 Oedipus and the Sphinx. Artist: Gustave Moreau (French, Paris 1826-1898 Paris). Dimensions: 81 1/4 x 41 1/4 in. (206.4 x 104.8 cm). Date: 1864.The legendary Greek prince Oedipus confronts the malevolent Sphinx, who torments travelers with a riddle: What creature walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening? Remains of victims who answered incorrectly litter the foreground. (The solution is the human, who crawls as a baby, strides upright in maturity, and uses a cane in old age.) Moreau made his mark with this painting at the Salon of 1864. Despite the growing prominence of depictions of everyday life, he portrayed stories from the Bible, mythology, and his imagination. His otherworldly imagery inspired many younger artists and writers, including Odilon Redon and Oscar Wilde. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: GUSTAVE MOREAU.

alb3619006 Allée of Chestnut Trees. Artist: Alfred Sisley (British, Paris 1839-1899 Moret-sur-Loing). Dimensions: 19 3/4 x 24 in. (50.2 x 61 cm). Date: 1878.In the 1860's, Sisley met Pissarro, Monet, Bazille, and Renoir, with whom he brought forth the practice of painting directly from nature. Exhibiting with the Impressionists, as they were formally named at the time of their independent exhibition in Paris in 1874, Sisley enjoyed short-lived but considerable success during the 1870's. While residing in Sèvres with his wife and children, Sisley painted this view of a curved pathway lined with chestnut trees in full bloom. The pathway follows a bend in the Seine, lending the viewer access across the pictorial space. The weather is pleasant, the sky a crisp pale blue, and the grass bending softly in the wind. Unlike other Impressionists who returned to their studios in their later careers, Sisley remained outdoors, painting from his sketches rendered in the countryside.

alb3669433 Peaceable Kingdom. Artist: Edward Hicks (American, Langhorne, Pennsylvania 1780-1849 Newton, Pennsylvania). Dimensions: 17 7/8 x 23 7/8 in. (45.4 x 60.6 cm). Date: ca. 1830-32.The Quaker minister and painter Edward Hicks is best known for his Peaceable Kingdom pictures, of which sixty-two exist. The paintings represent a messianic prophecy in the book of Isaiah (11:6): "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." During the 1820s, a severe rift formed within the Society of Friends. In this version of Hicks's favorite motif, the split is represented by the shattered tree trunk, and the desire for peace between the factions by the menagerie of discordant beasts lying down in perfect harmony. The lion and his companion, the ox, were, for Hicks, symbols of redemption. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
