alb3681859 Floral collar from Tutankhamun's Embalming Cache. Dimensions: Diam. 44 cm (17 5/16 in.); D. 15.5 cm (6 1/8 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 18. Reign: reign of Tutankhamun. Date: ca. 1336-1327 B.C..This remarkably preserved floral collar, from the funerary cache of Tutankhamun, illustrates how the broad collars so frequently depicted in Egyptian tomb paintings were made. Alternating rows of flower petals and blossoms, leaves, berries, and blue faience beads were sewn to a papyrus backing, and linen ties secured the collar around the wearer's neck. Some of the flora used in the Tutankhamun collars have been identified as olive leaves, cornflowers, and poppies. Several collars in the cache, like this one, were bound around the edge with red cloth, and the resulting combination of red, blue, black, and green must have been very colorful and similar to the polychrome decoration on some of the terracotta vessels in same deposit.

alb3637054 Bifolium from the "Nurse's Qur'an" (Mushaf al-Hadina). Dimensions: H. 17 1/2 in. (44.5 cm)W. 23 5/8 in. (60 cm). Date: ca. A.H. 410/ A.D. 1019-20.This double-page from a Qur'an comes down to us with the fascinating information that the nursemaid to one of the Zirid rulers of North Africa commissioned it for donation to the Great Mosque of Qairawan. It is written in a form of the 'new style kufic' script that was unique to North Africa, and it was copied on parchment, which remained in use in this region long after paper was commonly used for Qur'ans from Egypt, Iraq or Iran. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3681147 Cuneiform tablet: administrative account of barley distribution with cylinder seal impression of a male figure, hunting dogs, and boars. Culture: Sumerian. Dimensions: 2.17 x 2.36 x 1.63 in. (5.5 x 6 x 4.15 cm). Date: ca. 3100-2900 B.C..Of the many legacies left by the ancient civilizations of southern Mesopotamia, the invention of writing is paramount. At the end of the fourth millennium B.C., written language developed in the region, first as pictographs and then evolving into abstract forms called cuneiform. The pictographs, like the ones on this tablet, are called proto-cuneiform and were drawn in the clay with a pointed implement. Circular impressions alongside the pictographs represented numerical symbols. Cuneiform (meaning wedge-shaped) script was written by pressing a reed pen or stylus with a wedge-shaped tip into a clay tablet. Clay, when dried to a somewhat hardened state, made a fine surface for writing, and when fired the records written on it became permanent.Early writing was used primarily as a means of recording and storing economic information. This tablet most likely documents grain distributed by a large temple, although the absence of verbs in early texts makes them difficult to interpret with certainty. In addition to the writing that appears on this tablet, the imagery of the cylinder seal, which was incompletely impressed on both faces and the edges of the tablet before it was inscribed, also records information. This seal apparently has not survived. The seal impression depicts a male figure guiding two dogs on a leash and hunting or herding boars in a reed marsh. He is the so-called priest-king, a male figure who can be identified by his dress and pose. Here he appears in his role as the good shepherd who protects flocks from wild predators.Adapted from, Art of the Ancient Near East: A Resource for Educators (2010).

alb3639134 The stopping place of the gypsies: the fortune-tellers (La Halte des bohémiens: les diseuses de bonne aventure), from the series 'The Gypsies' (Les Bohémiens).

alb3634825 Saint Justina of Padua. Artist: Bartolomeo Montagna (Bartolomeo Cincani) (Italian, Vicentine, before 1459-1523). Dimensions: Overall, with added strips, 19 1/2 x 15 1/8 in. (49.5 x 38.4 cm); painted surface 19 1/8 x 14 3/4 in. (48.6 x 37.5 cm). Date: 1490s.A fragment from an altarpiece, this picture shows the early Christian martyr Justina in the guise of an elegantly dressed contemporary of the artist, thereby overlapping an ideal image of a saint with the conventions of portraiture. This is not surprising, for by the 1490s it was not uncommon to have yourself depicted as your patron saint. The palm branch and the sword piercing her breast are the saint's traditional attributes. In 1469 Montagna was associated with Giovanni Bellini; he went on to become the principal painter in Vicenza. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3637484 Head of Tutankhamun. Dimensions: H. 17.2 cm (6 3/4 in.); W. 16 cm (6 5/16 in.); D. 23.6 cm (9 5/16 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 18. Reign: reign of Tutankhamun. Date: ca. 1336-1327 B.C..This head is a fragment from a statue group that represented a god seated on a throne with the young king Tutankhamun in front of him. The king's figure was considerably smaller than that of the god, indicating his subordinate status in the presence of the deity. All that remains of the god is his right hand, which touches the back of the king's crown in a gesture that signifies Tutankhamun's investiture as king. During coronation rituals, various types of crowns were put on the king's head. The type represented here--probably a leather helmet with metal disks sewn onto it--was generally painted blue, and is commonly called the "blue crown." The ancient name was khepresh.Statue groups showing a king together with gods had been created since the Old Kingdom, and formal groups relating to the pharaoh's coronation were dedicated at Karnak by Hatshepsut and other rulers of Dynasty 18. The Metropolitan's head of Tutankhamun with the hand of the god is special because of the intimacy with which the subject is treated. The face of the king expresses a touching youthful earnestness, and the hand of the god is raised toward his crown with gentle care.A cast of the head has recently been matched by a scholar to the remains of an indurated limestone seated statue of a god in the storerooms at Karnak in Thebes. She reports that the join is minimal, but conclusive. This confirms the long supposed origin of the Museum's head from Karnak temple, and also resolves the question of the young king's pose - he was standing rather than kneeling in front of the god. The seated god at Karnak is only preserved from the waist down and is much damaged, so that the god is not identified specificially. Amun is, however, the likely candidate.

alb3633736 Court presentation ensemble. Culture: probably American. Date: 1896.Emily Warren Roebling, who had a significant role in the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, wore this gown for her formal presentation to Queen Victoria in 1896. Robeling was the wife of Washington Augustus Roebling (1837-1926), the chief engineer of the bridge, and took over day-to-day supervision of the project for a period of fourteen years after husband became ill and was unable to visit the construction site. Although she had no formal training, Roebling's extensive knowledge of engineering contributed significantly to the successful completion of the bridge in 1886.Presentation at court was a special event for American women of Roebling's social status and court protocol regulated men's and women's formal attire for the event. The lavish embroidery, sumptuous textiles and long train are characteristics of the formal gown, making it appropriate for the occasion. Roebling appears to have had a sentimental attachment to the ensemble; she chose to wear it again for her portrait by Charles-Émile-Auguste Carolus-Duran (1838-1917) which is also now part of the Brooklyn Museum collection. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3639205 The Nativity with Saints. Artist: Ridolfo Ghirlandaio (Italian, Florence 1483-1561 Florence). Dimensions: Central panel 14 x 9 in. (35.6 x 22.9 cm); each wing 14 x 4 in. (35.6 x 10.2 cm).Ridolfo was the son of Domenico Ghirlandaio, and like his father headed a workshop that was prepared to undertake a variety of tasks, from the decoration of a chapel to small portable altarpieces. The destination of this work is not known, but the presence of Saint Benedict in one of the wings and of a kneeling Benedictine in the foreground of the center panel suggests that it was made for a Benedictine monastery. It is contemporary with the frescoes in the Cappella dei Priori of 1514 and, in its landscape setting and the figure types, depends on Fra Bartolomeo and Mariotto Albertinelli.

alb3624894 The Intercession of Christ and the Virgin. Artist: Attributed to Lorenzo Monaco (Piero di Giovanni) (Italian, Florence (?) ca. 1370-1425 Florence (?)). Culture: Italian. Dimensions: Overall: 94 1/4 x 60 1/4 x 1 in. (239.4 x 153 x 2.5 cm). Date: before 1402.Christ and the Virgin are shown pleading with God the Father for mercy on behalf of eight small figures, perhaps members of a prominent Florentine family. In the tradition of hieratic scale, the divine figures are portrayed many times larger than the mortals, who kneel in adoration and prayer. Pointing to the wound in his side, Christ says, "My Father, let those be saved for whom you wished me to suffer the Passion." The Virgin, holding one of her breasts, pleads, "Dearest son, because of the milk that I gave you, have mercy on them." The axis of God the Father, the dove of the Holy Spirit, and the kneeling Christ also represents the Trinity. The drama of the bold devotional image, with a geometric composition typical of Florentine painting of the later fourteenth century, was heightened by its original placement inside the entrance of the cathedral, where it faced the length of the vast interior.

alb3602143 Dr. Leclenché. Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensions: 18 x 12 3/4 in. (45.7 x 32.4 cm). Date: 1864.Monet's son Michel identified the sitter for this small, informal portrait as the artist's physician, Dr. Leclenché. Made in 1864, when Monet was still developing his skills as a figure painter, the likeness is nonetheless full of expressive details, from the doctor's jauntily crossed legs to the cigar he holds nonchalantly in his left hand. His slightly exaggerated gestures may owe a debt to Monet's youthful stint as a caricaturist. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3650916 The Unicorn in Captivity (from the Unicorn Tapestries). Culture: South Netherlandish. Dimensions: Overall: 144 7/8 x 99 in. (368 x 251.5 cm). Date: 1495-1505.The seven individual hangings known as "The Unicorn Tapestries," are among the most beautiful and complex works of art from the late Middle Ages that survive. Luxuriously woven in fine wool and silk with silver and gilded threads, the tapestries vividly depict scenes associated with a hunt for the elusive, magical unicorn. "The Unicorn in Captivity" may have been created as a single image rather than part of a series. In this instance, the unicorn probably represents the beloved tamed. He is tethered to a tree and constrained by a fence, but the chain is not secure and the fence is low enough to leap over: The unicorn could escape if he wished. Clearly, however, his confinement is a happy one, to which the ripe, seed-laden pomegranates in the tree--a medieval symbol of fertility and marriage--testify. The red stains on his flank do not appear to be blood, as there are no visible wounds like those in the hunting series; rather, they represent juice dripping from bursting pomegranates above. Many of the other plants represented here, such as wild orchid, bistort, and thistle, echo this theme of marriage and procreation: they were acclaimed in the Middle Ages as fertility aids for both men and women. Even the little frog, nestled among the violets at the lower right, was cited by medieval writers for its noisy mating. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3658789 Floral Collars from Tutankhamun's Embalming Cache. Dimensions: 09.184.214: diam. 40 (15 3/4 in); d. 17 cm ( 6 11/16); diam. of faience disk beads 0.5 cm (3/16 in)09.184.215: diam. 44 cm (17 5/16 in); d. 15.5 cm (6 1/8 in)09.184.216: diam. 47 cm (18 1/2 in); d. 17 cm (6 11/16 in); diam. disk beads 0.5 cm (3/16 in). Dynasty: Dynasty 18. Reign: reign of Tutankhamun. Date: ca. 1336-1327 B.C..These remarkably well preserved floral collars, from the embalming cache of Tutankhamun, illustrates how the broad collars so frequently depicted in Egyptian tomb paintings were made. Alternating rows of flower petals and blossoms, leaves, berries, and blue faience beads were sewn to a papyrus backing, and linen ties secured the collar around the wearer's neck. Some of the flora used in the Tutankhamun collars have been identified as olive leaves, cornflowers, and poppies. Several collars in the cache were bound around the edge with red cloth, and the resulting combination of red, blue, black, and green must have been very colorful and similar to the polychrome decoration on some of the terracotta vessels in the same deposit.

alb3659131 Harper's: The German Struggle for Liberty, July. Artist: Edward Penfield (American, Brooklyn, New York 1866-1925 Beacon, New York). Dimensions: Sheet: 21 11/16 × 14 3/16 in. (55.1 × 36 cm). Publisher: Harper and Brothers, Publishers. Date: 1895. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3652049 The Toilet of Bathsheba. Artist: Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) (Dutch, Leiden 1606-1669 Amsterdam). Dimensions: 22 1/2 x 30 in. (57.2 x 76.2 cm). Date: 1643.King David, barely discernible atop the palace in the background, sees Bathsheba bathing and sends for her, despite the fact that she is married to his loyal soldier Uriah (Samuel 2:2-5). The king later arranges for Uriah to be killed in battle. The painting is one of a few dating from the 1640s in which Rembrandt revives his early, precisely descriptive manner in order to produce fine "cabinet pictures" for collectors. The others are also religious but not erotic, as this one was surely intended to be. The original state of the badly worn background may be judged from a reproductive engraving of 1763. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3655423 Hermann von Wedigh III (died 1560). Artist: Hans Holbein the Younger (German, Augsburg 1497/98-1543 London). Dimensions: 16 5/8 x 12 3/4 in. (42.2 x 32.4 cm), with added strip of 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) at bottom. Date: 1532.During his second sojourn in England (1532-43) Holbein made portraits for a new clientele, the German merchants of the Hanseatic League, whose guildhall was located in the London Steelyard. The sitter, whose ring displays the arms of the Wedighs of Cologne, is probably Hermann von Wedigh III, portrayed at age twenty-nine. The Latin quotation on the sheet of paper in the foreground, reading "Truth breeds hatred," comes from the Roman comedy Andria by Terence, popular among Humanists. The inserted slip of paper could thus refer to the book's content and perhaps have served as the sitter's personal motto. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3651132 Seal amulet in the form of a seated female and modern impression. Dimensions: 5/8 x 7/8 x 1 1/8 in. (1.5 x 2.3 x 3 cm). Date: ca. 3300-2900 B.C..This tiny but finely carved seal amulet is in the shape of a squatting female wearing a diadem. The single row of small cavities on the diadem, as well as those on her breasts and in her eye, were probably filled with inlay. Her head is shown in profile with a prominent nose. One visible arm rests on her torso, with her hand on a folded knee, while the other knee is held up. Similar squatting figures are known both on cylinder seals from Iran, Mesopotamia, and Syria and as small sculpture in the round from the Iranian site of Susa. Dating from the end of the late fourth into the early third millennium B.C., such depictions are today known as "pig-tailed women" and, although many appear to be engaged in pottery or textile manufacture, they may also have had some religious meaning, perhaps depicting a gesture of worship. The other side of the amulet may have been used as a seal to make an impression in damp clay. It is flat with eight groups of drill holes that possibly represent schematic dogs.

alb3612864 Camille Monet (1847-1879) in the Garden at Argenteuil. Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensions: 32 1/8 x 23 5/8 in. (81.6 x 60 cm). Date: 1876.In 1876, Monet made no less than ten paintings of his rented house and garden at Argenteuil. This canvas may be among the ones he painted in June, when he was working on "a series of rather interesting new things." Madame Monet seems incidental in comparison to the impressive stand of hollyhocks in the middle of the composition. Flickering brushstrokes of brightly colored paint make the canvas appear to pulsate with light. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3615834 Western Clothing from the series An Array of Auspicious Customs of Eastern Japan (Azuma fuzoku, fukuzukushi-Yofuku). Artist: Yoshu (Hashimoto) Chikanobu (Japanese, 1838-1912). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Oban 12 15/16 x 8 15/16 in. (32.9 x 22.7 cm). Date: 1889.Dressed in sophisticated French fashions, no doubt acquired in the newly modernized shopping district of Ginza, these two ladies and young girl seem ready for a stroll in the garden behind them. On the table is a European teapot with matching cup and saucer. In the garden is a fountain with vertical water spray, a feature recently introduced to Japanese landscape gardening. Chikanobu often focused on new women's fashion in his prints. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Yoshu (Hashimoto) Chikanobu.

alb3616592 Poppy Fields near Argenteuil. Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840-1926 Giverny). Dimensions: 21 1/4 x 29 in. (54 x 73.7 cm). Date: 1875.This work is one of four similar views of the plain of Gennevilliers, just southeast of Argenteuil, which Monet executed in the summer of 1875. He first painted the subject two years earlier in the celebrated Poppies near Argenteuil (Musée d'Orsay, Paris). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
