alb3680758 Merry Company on a Terrace. Artist: Jan Steen (Dutch, Leiden 1626-1679 Leiden). Dimensions: 55 1/2 x 51 3/4 in. (141 x 131.4 cm). Date: ca. 1670.In this late painting of about 1673-75, Steen casts himself as the inebriated innkeeper on the left. The artist's second wife, Maria, probably modeled for the provocatively posed hostess (she wears an apron) in the center. Her glass and the fat man's jug are sexually suggestive, but the woman's familiarity with the young musician and the shape of his cittern suggest that he has more to offer her. The overdressed boy serves as a marginal remark about the adults' behavior: a bridled horse and a whip usually stand for Temperance, but not when hitched to a spoiled brat and his indignant dog. The man with a sausage pinned to his hat is Hans Wurst, a fool familiar from the comic stage. Steen wittily blends symbols and themes (for example, child-rearing and the Garden of Love) into an original creation, quite as the picture's style seems to blend oil and water by mixing the manners of Gerard ter Borch and Jacob Jordaens. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Jan Steen.

alb3672860 Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564). Artist: Attributed to Daniele da Volterra (Italian, Volterra 1509-1566 Rome). Dimensions: 34 3/4 x 25 1/4 in. (88.3 x 64.1 cm). Date: probably ca. 1544.This unfinished portrait has recently been identified as the work of Daniele da Volterra, Michelangelo's faithful follower and the author of a bronze bust of the great Florentine artist. Indeed, an inventory drawn up after Daniele's death lists "a portrait of Michelangelo on panel." It was probably painted about 1545, when Michelangelo would have been seventy. It was the source for numerous copies.The portrait looks unfinished, but Daniele has fully described the sculptor's features and his left hand, almost as though recalling Michelangelo's notion that, "It is necessary to keep one's compass in one's eyes and not in the hand, for the hands execute, but the eye judges.". Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Attributed to Daniele da Volterra.

alb3629008 "Fourth Month" from Fujiwara no Teika's "Birds and Flowers of the Twelve Months". Artist: Ogata Kenzan (Japanese, 1663-1743). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 6 5/16 x 8 15/16 in. (16 x 22.7 cm)Overall with mounting: 43 1/4 x 19 in. (109.9 x 48.3 cm)Overall with knobs: 43 1/4 x 20 5/8 in. (109.9 x 52.4 cm). Date: 1743.Kenzan, brother of the painter and designer Ogata Korin (1658-1716), is best known as a potter but was also a gifted painter and calligrapher. This small painting was separated from a group of twelve representing plants and animals symbolic of the twelve months, each inscribed with two poems. The poems were taken from the Shuiguso, a collection of verse by the influential poet and calligrapher Fujiwara Teika (1162-1241). The poems from the fourth month refer to unohana (deutzia flowers) and to the hototogisu, a bird related to the cuckoo. They read:Shirotae no koromo hosu cho natsu no kite kakine mo tawa ni sakeru u no hana Hototogisu Shinobu no sato ni sato nare yo mada u no hana no tsuki matsu goro Robes of white clothshould be aired out, they say,just when summer arrivesand deutzia flowers in bloomcause the hedge to droop.In the village of Shinobuwhere the cuckoo dwells,its cry is now heard,while we await next monthwhen deutzia flowers bloom.

alb3624189 Cloître Saint-Amand, Rouen. Artist: Edmond Bacot (French, 1814-1875). Dimensions: 34.5 x 26.5 cm (13 9/16 x 10 7/16 in.). Date: 1852-53.In December 1852 Bacot, a man of independent means living in Caen, briefly visited the island of Jersey bringing resources gathered by the republicans of Caen and Bayeux for Victor Hugo and the exile community. He also carried with him photographs of the Gothic monuments of Normandy, pictures that Hugo described as "marvels." During the following year, Bacot sent additional photographs to the writer, including this one, about which Hugo wrote: "The old Gothic house is a particularly miraculous thing; mass and detail, strength in the shadows and perfection in the highlights, everything is there. I congratulate the sun for having a collaborator such as you." By photographing in strong sunlight and with a long lens, Bacot transformed the half-timbered walls and overhanging eaves of the cloister into patches of deep shadow and patterns of light. Such photographs articulated a highly romanticized view of the medieval--a view deeply colored by Hugo's own writings and poetic drawings of Gothic architecture. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

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.

(160 x 67 cm).These two panels are from an enormous, double-sided altarpiece on the high altar of the church of Santissima Annunziata, Florence. Begun by Filippino Lippi in 1502, it was completed after his death by Perugino. The altarpiece had the form of a Roman triumphal arch, with large scenes flanked by Perugino's standing saints, which are notable for the subdued coloring and subtle treatment of light.

alb3631106 The Annunciation. Artist: Attributed to Petrus Christus (Netherlandish, Baarle-Hertog (Baerle-Duc), active by 1444-died 1475/76 Bruges). Dimensions: Overall 31 x 25 7/8 in. (78.7 x 65.7 cm); painted surface 30 1/2 x 25 1/4 in. (77.5 x 64.1 cm). Date: ca. 1450.This Annunciation is exceptional for its bird's-eye view and outdoor setting. Sheltered in the doorway of a church and greeted by Gabriel, Mary is presented not only as the recipient of the message of the Incarnation, but also as the personification of the Church (Ecclesia). The architecture, which is part Romanesque (right) and part Gothic (left), refers to the coming of Christ and the transition from Judaism to Christianity. A fragment of a larger composition, the picture is notable for its meticulous observation of plant life and was formerly ascribed to Van Eyck. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3675397 Koshikibu no Naishi (999-1025), from "Hyakunin Isshu" (One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets). Artist: Suzuki Harunobu (Japanese, 1725-1770). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: H. 11 in. (27.9 cm); W. 8 1/8 in. (20.6 cm). Date: ca. 1768.Immortalized in the "Hyakunin Isshu" is the poetic exchange envision here between the lady-in-waiting Koshikibu and the courtier Fujiwara Sadayori. Both had been summoned to a poetry contest. Here, Koshikibu responds to his teasing suggestion that she needs help from her absent mother, the famous poetess Izumi Shikubu, with brilliant repartee. Her response takes the form of an impromptu poem that includes a triple pun on the famous scenic places Oeyama, Ikuno, and Ama no hashidate:Oeyama ikuo michi mo to kerebamada fumi mo mizu Ama no hashidate.Both Mount Oe and the road to Ikuno are far away.I've never been there,nor has word come from Ama no hashidate.

alb3677727 Woman Admiring Plum Blossoms at Night. Artist: Suzuki Harunobu (Japanese, 1725-1770). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 12 3/4 x 8 1/4 in. (32.4 x 21 cm).In this print, one of Harunobu's most poetic images, a nymphlike beauty dressed in an elegant kimono stands holding a lantern and gazing dreamily at the plum blossoms. The image of admiring plum blossoms at night is a classical theme in the East Asian poetic tradition, and Harunobu's lyrical rendition has much in common with the art of the Heian period (794-1185). The stylized shape of the cloud at the top of the print reinforces the classical references. Harunobu and his patrons from the elite merchant and samurai classes in the capital, Edo (now Tokyo), admired the literary and cultural tradition of Kyoto, which was the capital during the Heian period. In this print the artist applied one of the techniques of embossing uncolored areas. To emphasize their softness, the inner layers of the kimono and tabi socks worn by the woman are raised on the paper. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3621791 The Bay of Bull Arms, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, Bonfires Lighted on the Hills to Notify of the Arrival of the Cable Fleet on August 5th, 1858. Artist: Robert Charles Dudley (British, 1826-1909). Dimensions: Sheet: 10 9/16 x 15 3/4 in. (26.9 x 40 cm). Date: 1865-66.One of the 19th century's great technological achievements was to lay a telegraphic cable beneath the Atlantic, allowing messages to speed back and forth between North America and Europe in minutes, rather than ten or twelve days by steamer. An initially successful attempt in 1858, led by Cyrus W. Field and financed by the Atlantic Telegraph Company, failed after three weeks. Two working cables were finally laid in July and September 1866, the result of repeated efforts by the indefatigable Field, a cadre of engineers, technicians, and sailors, two groups of financial backers, and significant help from the British and United States navies. Dudley documented the process in a series of watercolors and oils, this example showing showing the cable fleet arriving in Newfoundland after successfully splicing two ends of the cable in the middle of the Atlantic in 1858. A working connection was established but lasted only three weeks. In 1892 Field donated art works by Dudley, commemorative medals, memorabilia, and specimens of cable to the Museum.

alb3654583 The Watchers and the Watched. Artist: Suzuki Harunobu (Japanese, 1725-1770). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: H. 11 1/8 in. (28.3 cm); W. 8 1/4 in. (21 cm). Date: 1764-72.Harunobu, who is credited with the introduction of the polychrome print, also depicts courtesans on display in a Yoshiwara teahouse, but there is considerable difference in his treatment of the subject. While Moronobu observes the watchers and the watched with a uniform and impersonal gaze, Harunobu contrasts the observers and the observed.Like Moronobu, Harunobu uses a window, a frame within a frame, to depict inside and outside simultaneously, but, instead of a view from the street, he situates the viewer within the intimacy of the pleasure house. The neutral vantage point of a passerby has become the psychologically charged perspective of someone on the inside. We have a privileged view of the courtesans and can feast our eyes on the sumptuous attire that accentuates their beauty.Harunobu intensifies our awareness of the courtesans' self-conscious display by making the stage and audience areas more distinct. In the print by Moronobu there is an exchange between the inside and the outside. Here, however, the courtesans do not acknowledge the presence of the men peering through the window, though the letter that is being delivered by the young attendant is presumably from an admirer. There is also no visual overlap between interior and exterior spaces. The observers are confined to a cramped window in the background. They are distanced from us, unlike the passersby in the foreground of Moronobu's print, who are our surrogates. The harsh cropping of the watchers contrasts with the lavish depiction of the courtesans. This reduction of the observers to a crowd of faces and the small space allotted them serve to intensify their gaze. The observers are no longer passersby strolling along the street; here, looking is their sole activity. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
