alb3683724 Landscape. Artist: Edgar Degas (French, Paris 1834-1917 Paris). Dimensions: sheet: 10 x 13 3/8 in. (25.4 x 34 cm). Date: 1892.Degas undertook a series of landscape monotypes during a visit in October 1890 to the Burgundian estate of his friend, the artist Pierre-Georges Jeanniot. Over the course of the next two years, he made about fifty monotypes, a group of which he exhibited at the Durand-Ruel gallery in 1892. Although the artist called these views "imaginary landscapes," the present work is thought to reflect his experience traveling through Burgundy in a horse-drawn carriage. Using colored oil paints, overlaid with scumbled pastels, Degas produced a view of a mountainous landscape, partially obscured by mist, which verges on abstraction.

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.

alb3672051 Votive Checkerboard Tunic. Culture: Inca. Dimensions: H. 20 5/8 × W. 16 1/2 in. (52.4 × 41.9 cm). Date: 1460-1626.This small tapestry-woven tunic features a checkerboard pattern with a red V-shaped yoke. Although the design follows the conventions of full-sized garments thought to be associated with the Inca military, its scale suggests that it was destined to adorn a votive figure, a custom practiced in both Inca and colonial Spanish contexts. According to the Spanish chronicler Juan de Betanzos, the Inca dressed certain sacred statues, sometimes the size of a child, in finely woven garments. Miniature checkerboard tunics, smaller than the present example, have been found with small gold, silver, and shell figurines as part of capac hucha or "ritual obligation" offerings, a type of ritual practice designed to extend and unite the vast landscape of the Inca Empire. Despite its smaller scale, this garment includes all of the fine detailing of its full-size counterparts. The checkerboard design is on front and back, inside and out, with meticulously embroidered finished edges. Woven as a single panel with single-interlocking joins, the neck slit was held closed by a temporary weft yarn that was removed after the weaving was complete. Once the finished weaving was cut from the loom, all seams and selvage edges were completely covered with fine double-faced embroidery. The seams were concealed with a precisely repeated series of multicolored bands of different widths. As with the full-size versions, along the bottom, just above that embroidered edge, a discreetly proportioned zigzag was created with similarly colored yarns.

alb3674028 The Crucifixion with the Virgin and Saint John. Artist: Hendrick ter Brugghen (Dutch, The Hague? 1588-1629 Utrecht). Dimensions: 61 x 40 1/4 in. (154.9 x 102.2 cm). Date: ca. 1624-25.This powerful image was probably painted for a Catholic "hidden church" in Ter Brugghen's city of Utrecht, where Catholicism was tolerated but not encouraged. The artist, a Protestant, recaptures the devotional intensity of earlier German and Dutch altarpieces in his stark composition and in the angular figure of Christ. However, the rhythmic draperies, convincing volumes, and folkish figures of Mary and John recall Ter Brugghen's experience of Caravaggio in Rome. The color combinations and hypnotic light are very much his own. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3605196 Still Life--Violin and Music. Artist: William Michael Harnett (1848-1892). Dimensions: 40 x 30 in. (101.6 x 76.2 cm). Date: 1888.Harnett was the most imitated and skillful still-life painter in late nineteenth-century America, celebrated for his many arrangements that pushed the art of trompe l'oeil (French for "fool the eye") to its limits. While this complex composition may at first appear flat, it is full of depth and plasticity, emphasizing the tension between illusion and reality. The depicted hinged door is slightly ajar, and the humble objects hang on prominent nails, casting strong shadows. The instruments and torn sheet music for a popular Irish reel underline Harnett's humorous sense of play as well as his Irish-American identity. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3655686 Ein aigentliche und grundtliche anweysung in die Geometria (A True and Thorough Instruction in Geometry). Artist: Augustin Hirschvogel (German, Nuremberg 1503-1553 Vienna). Dimensions: 32.18(1): 7 9/16 × 5 7/8 × 7/16 in. (19.2 × 14.9 × 1.1 cm)32.18(2): 8 × 6 5/16 × 7/16 in. (20.3 × 16 × 1.1 cm). Date: 1543.Hirschvogel begins his small booklet, whose title translates to "A True and Thorough Instruction in Geometry," with a lighthearted verse: The Book of Geometry is my name. / All liberal Arts were originally derived from me. / I reunite Architecture and Perspective. In combination with this etching, an addition to Hirschvogel's volume of illustrations, it helps explain the sixteenth-century fascination with geometry. The etching shows the five Platonic solids--tetrahedron, hexahedron (cube), octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron--which, according to Plato, were the building blocks of the material world and were connected to the four elements: earth, water, air, and fire. In sixteenth-century Germany, heaven was subsequently added as a fifth element, corresponding with the dodecahedron. Hirschvogel went one step further, connecting the polyhedrons and elements with the five vowels of the Latin alphabet, A, E, I, O, and U. It has been suggested that these might be read as one of two possible acronyms alluding to the global reach of Habsburg rule: Austriae Est Imparare Orbi Universo (It is Austria's destiny to rule the world) or Alles Erdreich Ist ...sterreich Untertan (The entire world is subject to Austria). Regardless of whether this last contention is true, Hirschvogel presents us with a holistic vision of the world in which geometry plays the central part.
