akg4199688 The Swahili people are a Bantu ethnic group and culture found in East Africa, mainly in the coastal regions and the islands of Kenya, Tanzania and northern Mozambique. The name Swahili is derived from the Arabic word Sawahil, meaning 'coastal dwellers', and they speak the Swahili language. The Swahili are original Bantu inhabitants on the coast of East Africa, in Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. They are mainly united by culture and under the mother tongue of Kiswahili, a Bantu language. This also extends to Arab, Persian, and other migrants who reached the coast some believe as early as the 7th-8th c. CE, and mixed with the local people there, providing considerable cultural infusion and numerous loan words from Arabic and Persian.

(34.3 × 28.5 cm). Engraver: Charles Eden Wagstaff (British, active 1798-1850). Printer: Day & Co. (London). Publisher: Henry Graves & Company (London). Sitter: Queen Victoria (British, London 1819-1901 Isle of Wight); Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (Coburg, Germany 1819-1861 Windsor). Date: 1844.Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in the Chapel Royal, St. James's Palace, on the morning of February 10, 1842. Hayter, who had painted the coronation, was commissioned to depict this ceremony also, and Wagstaff's engraving reproduces his 1842 painting (Royal Collection). The couple join hands before the Archbishop of Canterbury, and their union is witnessed by 56 members of the court and royal family. Most of the attendees sat to Hayter between 1840 and 1841, including Victoria in her "bridal dress, veil, wreath & all," and the artist even included himself sketching at lower right.

alb3631512 Emancipation of the Negroes - The Past and the Future (from Harper's Weekly). Artist: Thomas Nast (American (born Germany), Landau 1840-1902 Guayaquil). Dimensions: Sheet: 14 5/8 × 20 11/16 in. (37.2 × 52.6 cm). Publisher: Harper's Weekly (American, 1857-1916). Date: January 24, 1863.On January 1, 1863 Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, an executive order based on his constitutional authority as commander in chief. All enslaved persons in Confederate territory were declared to be forever free. Nast held strong liberal views and his family had emigrated from Germany to New York in 1848 to escape persecution. Here he created a striking, complex image for Harper's Weekly that celebrates the promise inherent in the proclamation. In a large central vignette an African American family enjoy domestic tranquility around a "Union" stove while, immediately below, a baby symbolizing the New Year breaks the shackles of a kneeling slave. Scenes at left detail horrors associated with slavery-whipping, branding and the separation of families. At right, these are contrasted with future blessings-payment for work, public education, and enjoying one's own home, goals that could only be realized if the Union won the war.

Date: 1799.This is the best known image from Goya's series of 80 aquatint etchings published in 1799 known as 'Los Caprichos' that are generally understood as the artist's criticism of the society in which he lived. Goya worked on the series from around 1796-98 and many drawings for the prints survive. The inscription on the preparatory drawing for this print, now in the Prado Museum in Madrid, indicates that it was originally intended as the title page to the series. In the published edition, this print became plate 43, the number we can see in the top right corner. Nevertheless, it has come to symbolise the overall meaning of the series, what happens when reason is absent. Various animals including bats and owls fly above the sleeping artist, and at the lower right a lynx watches vigilantly alerting us to the rise of monstrous forces that we are able to control when sleep descends.

alb3634647 Monk Nichiren in Exile on Sado Island, from the series "Illustration of Famous Monks". Artist: Utagawa Kuniyoshi (Japanese, 1797-1861). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Oban: 9 3/4 x 14 3/4 in. (24.8 x 37.5 cm). Date: 1835-36.Kuniyoshi's series of ten prints published in 1835-36 was an abridged biography of the life of the monk Nichiren (1222-1282), the founder of the Nichiren Buddhist sect, which is based on the worship of the Lotus Sutra. Nichiren lived in exile on Sado Island from 1271 to 1274. This particular masterpiece of ukiyo-e printmaking creates a perfect resonance between pictorial and emotional presentation. The severe snowstorm symbolizes the hardships Nichiren underwent during his exile. The monk demonstrates his strength of spirit by persevering in his uphill struggle.

alb3679687 The Holy Family with the Church of Saint Michael in Munich under Construction. Artist: Johann Sadeler I (Netherlandish, Brussels 1550-1600/1601 Venice); Friedrich Sustris (Netherlandish (possibly born Italy), Venice (?) ca. 1540-1599 Munich). Date: 1589.In the left foreground, the Virgin Mary tenderly cares for the Christ Child and the young John the Baptist. This tranquil scene is connected with a view of contemporary Munich in the right background by a scene of Joseph working as a carpenter. Angels carry the planks and beams he makes to the Church of Saint Michael, which is under construction. Sustris seems to have played a significant role in the design of this major building project, initiated by William V, Duke of Bavaria. He also contributed to its decoration, along with other artists such as Peter Candid, whose work is on view nearby. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3673558 Madonna and Child with Saints Jerome and Mary Magdalen. Artist: Neroccio de' Landi (Italian, Siena 1447-1500 Siena). Dimensions: 24 x 17 1/4 in. (61 x 43.8 cm). Date: ca. 1490.A sculptor as well as a painter, Neroccio de' Landi was one of the most accomplished artists of late-fifteenth-century Siena. His work centered on devotional images of the Madonna and Child; this one dates about 1490. The format--with two accompanying saints set behind the Virgin--was conventional in Siena, but Neroccio's lyrical, relief-like treatment of the figures and his emphasis on surface refinement are peculiar to him.The frame is not original to the picture but was designed by the great architectural engineer-sculptor-painter Francesco di Giorgio, with whom Neroccio shared a workshop between 1468 and 1475.

alb3625878 Arrangement in Black, No. 3: Sir Henry Irving as Philip II of Spain. Artist: James McNeill Whistler (American, Lowell, Massachusetts 1834-1903 London). Dimensions: 84 3/4 x 42 3/4 in. (215.3 x 108.6 cm). Date: 1876, reworked 1885.Whistler's portrait of the great Victorian actor Henry Irving (1838-1895) recalls Diego Velázquez's court portraits in its format, pose, and restricted palette of black, white, silvery grays, and golden ochers. Whistler had been impressed by Irving's 1876 appearance in the role of the grandfather of Philip IV, Velázquez's patron, in Alfred Lord Tennyson's verse play Queen Mary Tudor. Discussing Whistler's canvas in 1907, the actress Ellen Terry suggested the associations with Velázquez that the actor and the artist might have had in mind in emulating the Spanish master's style. She observed that Irving, "in his dress without much colour (from the common point of view), his long grey legs, and his Velasquez-like attitudes, looked like the kind of thing which Whistler loved to paint. Velasquez had painted a real Philip of the same race; Whistler would paint the actor who created the Philip of the stage.". Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: JAMES ABBOTT MCNEILL WHISTLER.

alb3629739 Orthostat relief: lion-hunt scene. Culture: Hittite. Dimensions: H. 22 in. (56 cm). Date: ca. 9th century B.C..The powerful Neo-Assyrian Empire influenced the surrounding region culturally as well as politically. In the west a number of small but powerful Aramaean city-states acted as a barrier between Assyria and the Mediterranean coast. These have been called Neo-Hittite city-states because of their dynastic continuity and relation to the preceding Hittites of Anatolia. These rival states were gradually brought under the control of the Neo-Assyrian Empire by military conquest.Stone slabs carved in low relief had traditionally decorated the walls of the Neo-Hittite palaces and temples. Workmanship was often strong if crude. The figures were carved with little descriptive detail engraved on the surface, but it is nevertheless possible to detect, in some of the reliefs, the influence of Assyrian art in the choice of scene, the types of chariots and horse gear, and the galloping posture of the horses.

alb3625381 José Costa y Bonells (died l870), Called Pepito. Artist: Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes) (Spanish, Fuendetodos 1746-1828 Bordeaux). Dimensions: 41 3/8 x 33 1/4 in. (105.1 x 84.5 cm). Date: ca. 1810.Pepito's father, Rafael Costa de Quintana, was doctor to King Ferdinand VII; his mother was the daughter of Jaime Bonells, doctor to the Alba family. The portrait is most closely related to works that Goya painted shortly after 1810 and seems to allude to the Spanish War of Independence, 1808-14. Pepito's jacket is tailored in imitation of a soldier's uniform, and his hair is cut in the Napoleonic fashion. The military analogy is further enhanced by the drum and the toy rifle with a fixed bayonet. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
