akg3808374 Mao Zedong, also transliterated as Mao Tse-tung (26 December 1893 - 9 September 1976), was a Chinese communist revolutionary, guerrilla warfare strategist, author, political theorist, and leader of the Chinese Revolution. Commonly referred to as Chairman Mao, he was the architect of the People's Republic of China (PRC) from its establishment in 1949, and held authoritarian control over the nation until his death in 1976. His theoretical contribution to Marxism-Leninism, along with his military strategies and brand of political policies, are now collectively known as Maoism.

alb3681073 Allegory of Life. Artist: After Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio or Santi) (Italian, Urbino 1483-1520 Rome); Giorgio Ghisi (Italian, Mantua ca. 1520-1582 Mantua). Dimensions: Sheet (Trimmed): 14 3/4 × 21 3/16 in. (37.5 × 53.8 cm). Date: 1561.This compelling and enigmatic image has elicited many explanations of its content, none of which have entirely resolved its meaning. An elderly man at left--possibly a philosopher--leans against a riverside rock, his hand outstretched to a crowned woman who strides toward him at right. In the most general terms, this scene is understood as an allegory with a hopeful message: the man who has poorly guided the boat of his own existence is saved by the woman representing reason. The print's large size, numerous details, and intertwined elements contribute to a visual puzzle that requires great concentration to understand. This challenge would have appealed to an educated audience in the sixteenth century. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3683058 The Sojourn of The Holy Family in Egypt, from The Life of the Virgin, Latin Edition, 1511. Artist: Albrecht Dürer (German, Nuremberg 1471-1528 Nuremberg). Dimensions: sheet: 16 1/2 x 11 3/4 in. (41.9 x 29.8 cm)block: 11 3/4 x 8 1/4 in. (29.8 x 21 cm). Date: 1511. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3682334 Portrait of a Man, probably a Member of the Van Beresteyn Family. Artist: Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) (Dutch, Leiden 1606-1669 Amsterdam). Dimensions: 44 x 35 in. (111.8 x 88.9 cm). Date: 1632.The man is most likely Cornelis van Beresteyn (1586-1638), a wealthy burgomaster of Delft. His restrained pose and sober expression contrast with the animation and accessibility that Rembrandt usually attributed to members of Amsterdam society. At the time, portraits in Delft and in the neighboring court city of The Hague were remarkably conservative, adhering to a tradition that went back to Spanish royal portraits of the mid-1500s. Rembrandt is known to have painted a few portraits in The Hague during 1632. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3632628 Absyrtus' limbs presented in a wrapped cloth to his father, from: Histoire de Jason et de la conquête de la toison d'or. Artist: René Boyvin (French, Angers ca. 1525-1598 or 1625/6 Angers); After Leonard Thiry (Netherlandish, active Fontainebleau ca. 1536-1550). Dimensions: Plate: 6 5/16 x 9 1/8 in. (16 x 23.2 cm)Sheet: 7 1/2 x 11 7/16 in. (19 x 29 cm). Series/Portfolio: Tale of Jason and the conquest of the Golden Fleece (Histoire de Jason et de la conquête de la toison d'or). Date: 1563.Absyrtus' limbs presented in a wrapped cloth to his father, who stands on the deck of a ship, the composition is surrounded by a rectilinear frame with twisting male figures, fruits of the earth, scrollwork, and animals, from the series 'Tale of Jason and the conquest of the Golden Fleece' (Histoire de Jason et de la conquête de la toison d'or). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3638577 Coin (One and a Half Thaler) Showing Ferdinand I. Culture: Austrian. Dimensions: Diam. 2 1/16 in. (5.2 cm); thickness 1/8 in. (0.3 cm); Wt. 1.6 oz. (45.4 g). Date: 16th century. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3680436 The Rest on the Flight into Egypt. Artist: Nicolas Poussin (French, Les Andelys 1594-1665 Rome). Dimensions: 30 x 25 in. (76.2 x 63.5 cm). Date: ca. 1627.This tenderly poetic picture reveals a side of Poussin not otherwise represented by the Museum's splendid holdings of this artist. During the 1620s Poussin was especially attracted by Venetian painting, studying Titian's great mythological compositions, some of which were in aristocratic collections in Rome. He took the inspiration for the fruit-gathering cherubs and the landscape from Titian's Bacchanals. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3633438 Dismemberment, etc. (John Beaver, Roman Military Punishments, 1725). Artist: William Hogarth (British, London 1697-1764 London). Author: Illustrates John Beaver (British, active 1725-27). Dimensions: sheet: 1 3/4 x 3 1/16 in. (4.4 x 7.7 cm). Date: after 1725. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3634701 Saints Peter and John Healing the Lame Man. Artist: Nicolas Poussin (French, Les Andelys 1594-1665 Rome). Dimensions: 49 1/2 x 65 in. (125.7 x 165.1 cm). Date: 1655.At the temple in Jerusalem where the old and infirm beg alms, Peter and John cure a cripple (Acts 3:1-10): "Then Peter said, Silver and gold I have none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk." The composition is indebted to Raphael, and the gestures of the central group are reminiscent of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel. The picture was painted for Monsieur Mercier of Lyons. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3630697 The Glorification of the Eucharist. Artist: Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, Siegen 1577-1640 Antwerp). Dimensions: 28 x 19 in. (71.1 x 48.3 cm). Date: ca. 1630-32.This oil sketch is Rubens's design for an altarpiece ensemble in the church of the Calced Carmelites in Antwerp, which was executed in 1637-38 by the painter Gerard Seghers and the sculptor Hans van Mildert. The risen Christ triumphs over sin and death (the snake and skeleton), and is flanked (left to right) by Melchizedek, Elijah, Saint Paul, and Saint Cyril of Alexandria, who were all associated with the Eucharist. In the columns and upper corners of the panel, which was later trimmed, Rubens offers the patron a choice of architectural motifs. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3670644 Arashi Ryuzo I as Ishibe Kinkichi in the Play "Hana Ayame Bunroku Soga". Artist: Toshusai Sharaku (Japanese, active 1794-95). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: H. 14 1/2 in. (36.8 cm); W. 9 11/16 in. (24.6 cm). Date: 1794.Like the figure to the right, this actor uses his kimono to make an expressive gesture. Unlike the stealthy Uguisu no Jiro saku, however, the swaggering Ishibe Kinkichi grasps his right sleeve with his left hand and pushes it up to bare his forearm and displays his readiness to fight. The eyes of this petty rascal, however, betray cowardice rather than bravery. Ishibe Kinkichi is the proverbial hard-hearted moneylender, and this conventional gesture expresses the cocky bravado of a bully's threat. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3670765 The Good Samaritan. Artist: Rembrandt (Rembrandt van Rijn) (Dutch, Leiden 1606-1669 Amsterdam). Dimensions: Sheet: 10 5/16 × 8 3/8 in. (26.2 × 21.3 cm)Plate: 10 3/16 × 8 1/16 in. (25.8 × 20.5 cm). Date: 1633.This etching depicts the final scene in the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) in which the Samaritan stopped to help a traveler who had been attacked by robbers. Here he has brought the wounded man on horseback to an inn and pays for the man's care and lodging. The is one of two etchings in which Rembrandt reproduced his own paintings; the other is Christ Before Pilate (see inv. No. 17.37.75). The Good Samaritan repeats with a number of variations the composition of his painting in the Wallace Collection, London. Among Rembrandt's additions here to the largely empty foreground that appeared in the painting is the defecating dog that adds a note of everyday reality to the biblical scene.The Met has four impressions of the Good Samaritan, one of the extremely rare first state, before Rembrandt completed the hatching on the horse's tail and added his signature, and three of this, the fourth (final) state. The first state is a luminous impression of exceptional quality and has long been recognized as such. In the 1843 sale catalogue of the Würtemberg collection, it was one of only two Rembrandt prints mentioned in the introduction to the catalogue and has an unusually long description in the body of the sale. It is also specifically mentioned by Frits Lugt in his entry on the Würtemberg collection, a citation he reserved for the only the most important prints and drawings (F. Lugt, Les Marques de Collection de Dessins et d'Estampes, 1921). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: probably 1633-34.The Romans invited the neighboring Sabines with the intention of forcibly retaining their young women as wives. Romulus raised his cloak as the pre-arranged signal for the warriors to seize the women. The yellow armor worn by the man at the right is modeled after a Roman lorica, which was made of leather and reproduced the anatomy of the male torso. The painting belonged to the maréchal de Créquy, who was the French ambassador to Rome from June 1633 to July 1634. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3624066 A Maid Asleep. Artist: Johannes Vermeer (Dutch, Delft 1632-1675 Delft). Dimensions: 34 1/2 x 30 1/8 in. (87.6 x 76.5 cm). Date: ca. 1656-57.This picture is probably the earliest in which the Delft painter treats his favorite theme of a young woman, occasionally with a male companion, in a domestic interior. An overdressed maid has dozed off after entertaining a visitor (two glasses, a pitcher, and a jug may be seen in the jumbled still life). The painting above her depicts Cupid unmasked, an oblique explanation of her dreamy smile. Radiographs show that Vermeer originally painted a man in the background and a dog to the lower right. By replacing these motifs he made the amorous theme less obvious, quite as his remarkable passages of observation obscure his debts to contemporary painters like Nicolaes Maes.
