alb3676975 Mademoiselle V. in the Costume of an Espada. Artist: Édouard Manet (French, Paris 1832-1883 Paris). Dimensions: 65 x 50 1/4 in. (165.1 x 127.6 cm). Date: 1862.Manet depicted model Victorine Meurent (1844-1928) in the guise of a male espada, or matador, borrowing her pose from a Renaissance print. Victorine's shoes are unsuitable for bullfighting, and the pink cape that she flourishes is the wrong hue, but she carries off her role with panache. The backdrop reproduces a scene from Goya's Tauromaquia series, celebrating the feats of bullfighters. When this painting was exhibited at the infamous Salon des Refusés of 1863, a commentator noted, "Manet loves Spain, and his favorite master seems to be Goya, whose vivid and contrasting hues, whose free and fiery touch he imitates.".

The embroidery representing Air shows the figure of Louis XIV. The other three hangings depict three of the six children of the king and Madame de Montespan, symbolizing Spring, Summer, and Fire. The set almost certainly included Autumn and Winter, as well as water; Madame de Montespan herself was perhaps depicted as Juno, representing Earth.

alb3656199 Redgreen and Violet-Yellow Rhythms. Artist: Paul Klee (German (born Switzerland), Münchenbuchsee 1879-1940 Muralto-Locarno). Dimensions: 14 3/4 x 13 1/4in. (37.5 x 33.7cm). Date: 1920.Klee did not embrace abstraction in sheer pursuit of some deep spiritual goal, as did Kandinsky and Mondrian. Instead, as his titles playfully indicate, he just tried to keep reality at bay. When the artist began to work earnestly in oil in 1919, he painted a series of small works, mostly on cardboard, that had as their subject matter magic landscapes or gardens. Here the little fir trees placed on a sort of Cubist ground evoke some enchanted forest. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3615447 The Nativity. Artist: Lorenzo Monaco (Piero di Giovanni) (Italian, Florence (?) ca. 1370-1425 Florence (?)). Dimensions: 8 3/4 x 12 1/4 in. (22.2 x 31.1 cm). Date: ca. 1406-10.Lorenzo Monaco, the leading painter in Florence in the early fifteenth century, was active as a painter of illuminated manuscripts, frescoes and panel paintings. A major proponent of the International Gothic style, his style is characterized by luminous color and graceful, rhythmic, flowing lines. In this exquisite depiction of the Nativity, the compositional elements are brilliantly adapted to the quatrefoil field, and the rich and subtle color harmonies reflect the artist's skill as a manuscript painter. Particularly striking is the nocturnal setting, which is suffused by the supernatural light emanating from the Christ Child and the angel. This panel formed part of a predella, which also included a Visitation, an Adoration of the Magi, and a Flight into Egypt believed to have come from an altarpiece of the Annunciation by Lorenzo Monaco (Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3618858 Case (étui) with an amorous inscription. Culture: Italian. Dimensions: Overall (case only): 8 1/4 x 3 1/8 x 3 1/4 in. (20.9 x 8 x 8.2 cm)Overall (with strap extended): 15 9/16 x 3 1/8 x 3 1/4 in. (39.6 x 8 x 8.2 cm). Date: 1450-1500.Etui in medieval inventories and expense accounts was a general term for storage or travel containers of various materials and sizes. One such inventory of the early fourteenth century itemizes a small étui de cuir bouilli, was purchased to hold a painting by Jehan d'Orléans, painter to King Charles VI of France. The term cuir bouilli, literally, "boiled leather," is used to describe a particular type of leather decoration. Soaked in a lukewarm solution of resin or wax to make it soft and flexible, the leather was molded into the desired shape. Decorative patterns were then tooled or impressed on the surface and often highlighted in color, gilding, or punching.References are also made to small étui of cuir bouilli which were designed specifically to be attached to one's costume. Used to carry quill pens, ink wells, books, cutlery, and other personal possessions, these objects are frequently depicted in fifteenth-century paintings and manuscript illuminations. This Italian example has two interior compartments designed to contain a knife and spoon, and is inscribed A BONA FEDE DE TEL BON ("in good faith of so good" [a heart]); the tooled heart that appears at the end of the inscription replaces the actual word.

alb3665587 Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Artist: Kenyon Cox (American, Warren, Ohio 1856-1919 New York). Dimensions: 33 1/2 x 47 1/8 in. (85.1 x 119.7 cm). Date: 1887, replica 1908.Cox and Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907) met in Paris in the 1870s and exchanged portraits in 1887: an oil painting for a bronze relief. The original canvas was lost in Saint-Gaudens's 1904 studio fire, so Cox created this replica in time for the Metropolitan Museum's 1908 memorial exhibition of the sculptor's work. Saint-Gaudens is shown in his New York studio, modeling in clay a portrait relief of the artist William Merritt Chase. A bronze likeness of the sculptor's son, Homer, hangs on the wall (the Museum owns a marble replica; 05.15.2). Cox cleverly echoed his friend's portrait reliefs by showing him in profile.

alb3667223 Veduta interna dell'Atrio del Portico di Ottavia (Internal View of the Atrium of the Portico of Octavia), in: 'Vedute di Roma' (Views of Rome). Artist: Giovanni Battista Piranesi (Italian, Mogliano Veneto 1720-1778 Rome). Dimensions: Plate: 22 x 28 in. (55.9 x 71.1 cm). Series/Portfolio: Vedute di Roma (Views of Rome). Date: 1760.This view places the spectator within the best preserved section of the complex of colonnades originally built in the Republican era and later restored by Emperor Augustus, who dedicated the portico to his sister Octavia. Although the name survives from the Augustan restoration, such visible remains as the elegant Corinthian columns and the form of the pediment, hemmed in by medieval accretions, date to a later reconstruction by Septimius Severus. Piranesi shows the space as it looked in the eighteenth century, with the stalls of the fishmarket, which had long been held within the portico, visible along one wall of the atrium and continuing down a corridor into the distance.The sensation of brilliant sunlight is masterfully achieved in this etching and may owe something to the example of Canaletto's views of Venice (1973.634), produced around the time that Piranesi returned home in 1744. Piranesi's own sensitivity to light effects--one of his early biographers records that he committed to memory the appearance of changing light on the ancient walls, from the full glare of the sun to the cool illumination of the moon--was one of the qualities that made his views of Rome so exceptional. The love for the texture and heft of blocks of stone and the fascination with their manner of cutting and assembly that is so evident here, and in many of his other prints, may have been the legacy of Piranesi's father, a stonemason and master builder.

alb3669098 Untitled (Cracked Watermelon). Artist: Charles Ethan Porter (1847-1923). Dimensions: 19 1/8 × 28 3/16 in. (48.6 × 71.6 cm). Date: ca. 1890.The largely Connecticut-based, New York- and Paris-trained Porter was among the first African American artists to exhibit his work nationally. "Untitled (Cracked Watermelon)" is one of his largest and most impressive still lifes. Its subject--originally an African gourd brought to the New World by seventeenth-century Spaniards and cultivated by colonists--is also significant. Porter chose to paint what had been an earlier symbol of American abundance--and during the Civil War period one particularly associated with free blacks--when it was increasingly defined by virulent stereotyping. By reclaiming the "American" subject in artistic terms (and with a French stylistic flavor), Porter challenged a contemporary racist trope. A tour de force of the artist's mature style--perfected in Paris under the influence of the work of Henri Fantin-Latour and Edouard Manet--"Untitled (Cracked Watermelon)" reveals Porter's bravura handling of paint as well as his skills as a colorist in the composition's dramatic light-dark contrasts of complementary colors. After decades of success painting still lifes of fruit and flowers--with the support of patrons such as Samuel Clemens and Frederic Edwin Church--Porter died in poverty and obscurity. A resurgence of interest in his work dates to the late 1980s. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
