alb3659093 Esther before Ahasuerus. Artist: Artemisia Gentileschi (Italian, born Rome 1593-died Naples 1654 or later). Dimensions: 82 x 107 3/4in. (208.3 x 273.7cm).The most famous woman painter of the seventeenth century, Artemisia worked in Rome, Florence, Venice, and Naples. This painting, among her most ambitious, recounts the story of the Jewish heroine Esther, who appeared before King Ahasuerus to plead for her people, breaking with court etiquette and risking death. She fainted in the king's presence, but her request found favor. The story is conceived not as a historical recreation but as a contemporary theatrical performance. Initially Artemisia included the detail of a black boy restraining a dog--still partly visible beneath the marble pavement, to the left of Ahasuerus's knee.

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.

Date: 1627.Reni, the most celebrated painter of seventeenth-century Italy, was particularly famous for the elegance of his compositions and the beauty and grace of his female heads, earning him the epithet "Divine." This otherworldly altarpiece was commissioned in about 1627 by the Spanish ambassador in Rome for the Infanta of Spain. It was later in the cathedral of Seville, where it exercised a deep influence on Spanish painters, especially Murillo. It later belonged to the Earls of Ellesmere at Bridgewater House, London.

alb3671284 View of London from Greenwich. Artist: Joseph Mallord William Turner (British, London 1775-1851 London). Dimensions: sheet: 8 3/8 x 11 in. (21.3 x 28 cm). Date: 1825.Turner here offers a panorama of greater London as seen from Greenwich Park, looking down towards the Naval Hospital designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the river Thames, and the distant city. The foreground is littered with maps and globes, with a woman holding up two plans for a naval pensioner with spectacles and crutches to inspect-a reference to England's past. Slightly behind, a man dressed in a fashionably tall top hat and yellow gloves raises his hands to celebrate the burgeoning present. Finally, a third figure further down the hill peers through a telescope at steam boats racing past sailing ships on the river-a hint at the future. The watercolor belongs to a group that the artist made around 1825 as he planned a series of prints that never was published. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: 1868.Edwin and Ruth Edwards, the English patrons and dealers of Fantin's work, recommended that the artist always use simple vases and plain tabletops in his still lifes in order to show to advantage his great skill in rendering texture and color. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3623633 Still Life with Roses and Fruit. Artist: Henri Fantin-Latour (French, Grenoble 1836-1904 Buré). Dimensions: 13 5/8 x 16 3/8 in. (34.6 x 41.6 cm). Date: 1863.In this early painting, which is interesting for its slightly eccentric, off-balance composition, Fantin had yet to achieve the extraordinary realism associated with his still lifes of the mid- to late 1860s. However, his eye for subtle color harmonies was already well-developed, as evident in the juxtaposition of the pinkish-white Malmaison roses, purple-tinged grapes, and golden pear. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3620609 The Calm Sea. Artist: Gustave Courbet (French, Ornans 1819-1877 La Tour-de-Peilz). Dimensions: 23 1/2 x 28 3/4 in. (59.7 x 73 cm). Date: 1869.Courbet painted this view looking out over the English Channel during a visit to Étretat along the coast of Normandy in August 1869. The ocean has receded at low tide, and two small boats are left on the shore. The tranquil composition, with its immense sky towering over narrow bands of water and sand, is unusual for Courbet's marine paintings of this period, dominated by dramatically crashing waves. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3623505 Philip IV (1605-1665) in Parade Armor. Artist: Gaspar de Crayer (Flemish, 1584-1669). Dimensions: 72 x 46 1/2 in. (182.9 x 118.1 cm). Date: ca. 1628.Gaspar de Crayer painted several portraits of Philip IV, probably commissioned by the Marqués de Leganés, who served as Philip's emissary to the Spanish court in Brussels in 1627-28. Here the young king of Spain is presented in a magnificently decorated Flemish cavalry armor. He holds a commander's baton in his right hand and wears an ornate rapier on his left hip. The composition follows a pattern in Spanish portraiture of depicting kings in fine armor, which was established decades earlier by Titian, for example in his portraits of Emperor Charles V and King Philip II. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3607153 The Repast of the Lion. Artist: Henri Rousseau (le Douanier) (French, Laval 1844-1910 Paris). Dimensions: 44 3/4 x 63 in. (113.7 x 160 cm). Date: ca. 1907.This work was probably shown in the Salon d'Automne of 1907, but it treats a theme that Rousseau first explored in Surprised! of 1891 (National Gallery, London). He based the exotic vegetation of his many jungle pictures on studies that he made in Paris's botanical gardens, and adapted the wild beasts from popular ethnographic journals and illustrated children's books. Rousseau's nickname, "le Douanier," derives from his job as a customs official. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Henri Rousseau (le Douanier).

alb3603665 Still Life with Pansies. Artist: Henri Fantin-Latour (French, Grenoble 1836-1904 Buré). Dimensions: 18 1/2 x 22 1/4 in. (47 x 56.5 cm). Date: 1874.According to a list of Fantin's paintings compiled by his wife, this still life is one of thirty-one compositions of flowers and fruit that the artist produced in 1874. The branch of apples suggests that the present picture was painted in the fall; the pansies are spring flowers that were probably cultivated in a hothouse. Fantin reprised elements seen here in at least two other paintings: Potted Pansies of 1883 (2013.636) and Pansies of 1903 (1996.517). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3612569 Charity. Artist: Guido Reni (Italian, Bologna 1575-1642 Bologna). Dimensions: 54 x 41 3/4 in. (137.2 x 106 cm).This allegory of Charity follows a well-established iconographical model of a woman breastfeeding a group of children. Reni was admired for the refinement of his style and the elegantly expressive attitudes of his figures. No artist commanded higher prices or greater admiration. This beautifully preserved painting may have been commissioned or bought by Prince Karl Eusebius von Liechtenstein (1611-1684), who traveled to Italy in 1629-30. 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.

alb3612713 The Streetwalker. Artist: Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, Albi 1864-1901 Saint-André-du-Bois). Dimensions: 25 1/2 x 21 in. (64.8 x 53.3 cm). Date: ca. 1890-91.As early as 1901 the woman in this painting was identified as a streetwalker. Her name, however, has been lost to history; only the nickname La Casque d'Or (Golden Helmet), which refers to her wig, has survived. She sits in the garden of Monsieur Forest, Lautrec's neighbor in Montmartre. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3647878 The Rebuke of Adam and Eve. Artist: Charles Joseph Natoire (French, Nîmes 1700-1777 Castel Gandolfo). Dimensions: 26 3/4 x 19 3/4 in. (67.9 x 50.2 cm). Date: 1740.Natoire was trained in the studio of François Le Moyne (1688-1737). He won the Prix de Rome and studied in Italy. This picture must have been intended by the younger artist as a tribute to his teacher. It is a pendant to a painting by Le Moyne depicting Adam receiving the forbidden fruit from Eve in the Garden of Eden (private collection). Natoire shared with Le Moyne a predilection for the nude, here depicting with care the rosy and sensual body of the disappointed Eve, a tear glistening on her cheek.

alb3641130 The Banks of the Bièvre near Bicêtre. Artist: Henri Rousseau (le Douanier) (French, Laval 1844-1910 Paris). Dimensions: 21 1/2 x 18 in. (54.6 x 45.7 cm). Date: ca. 1908-09.Rousseau identified the subject of this painting in a handwritten note, affixed to its stretcher, dated 1909, the year he consigned it for sale to the dealer Ambroise Vollard. The scene depicts the landscape around Bicêtre, a working-class community on the southern edge of Paris near the Bièvre river (now buried underground as it courses through the city). In Rousseau's day, the waterway was heavily polluted, but certain spots still offered picturesque views, as suggested by the figures in peasant dress on the tree-lined path at left, and the glimpse of the seventeenth-century aqueduc d'Arcueil in the background.

alb3644350 The Woman in the Waves. Artist: Gustave Courbet (French, Ornans 1819-1877 La Tour-de-Peilz). Dimensions: 25 3/4 x 21 1/4 in. (65.4 x 54 cm). Date: 1868.Between 1864 and 1868 Courbet undertook a series of paintings of the female nude. He could not have failed to witness the triumph of Alexandre Cabanel's Birth of Venus (Musée d'Orsay, Paris) at the Salon of 1863, along with the popularity of similar representations by Cabanel's fellow academicians. Here, Courbet evokes the myth of Venus, the goddess born of the sea, but slyly subverts convention by depicting the model's underarm hair--an element of realism amplified by the almost palpable quality of her flesh.
