alb3605357 The Harvesters. Artist: Pieter Bruegel the Elder (Netherlandish, Breda (?) ca. 1525-1569 Brussels). Dimensions: Overall, including added strips at top, bottom, and right, 46 7/8 x 63 3/4 in. (119 x 162 cm); original painted surface 45 7/8 x 62 7/8 in. (116.5 x 159.5 cm). Date: 1565.This panel belongs to a series, commissioned by the Antwerp merchant Niclaes Jongelinck for his suburban home. The cycle originally included six paintings showing the times of the year. Apart from The Harvesters, which is usually identified as representing July-August, or late summer, four other paintings of the group have survived (now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, and Lobkowicz Collection, Prague). Bruegel's series is a watershed in the history of western art. The religious pretext for landscape painting has been suppressed in favor of a new humanism, and the unidealized description of the local scene is based on natural observations.

Date: 1570s.In this visually opulent and sensual painting, Cupid binds Mars (the god of war) to Venus with a love knot. It celebrates the civilizing and nurturing effects of love, as milk flows from Venus's breast and Mars's warhorse is restrained. By 1621 the painting was owned by Emperor Rudolf II in Prague, along with other mythological works by the artist (two are in the Frick Collection, New York), but its original owner is unknown. A masterpiece of light and color, works such as this had an enduring impact on later artists including Velázquez and Giambattista Tiepolo. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: 1870-71.Alfrederick Smith Hatch (1829-1904) was a prominent Wall Street broker in the firm of Fisk and Hatch and president of the New York Stock Exchange from 1883 to 1884. Like many of his business associates, he was an enthusiastic collector of art. One of the finest paintings in his collection was this commissioned group portrait showing three generations of his family. It depicts them in the library of their New York residence at 49 Park Avenue, on the northeast corner of 39th Street. Hatch is seated to the right at his desk, and his wife, the former Theodosia Ruggles (1829-1908), leans on the mantel. Other members of the family, including Theodosia's mother, Hatch's father, and their children are also present. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3631623 Catharine Lorillard Wolfe (1828-1887). Artist: Alexandre Cabanel (French, Montpellier 1823-1889 Paris). Dimensions: 67 1/2 x 42 3/4 in. (171.5 x 108.6 cm). Date: 1876.In the mid-1870's, both Catharine and John Wolfe commissioned works from Cabanel, who had made his reputation as a painter of genre scenes and portraits of Second Empire aristocrats. He ordered a variant of Cabanel's most famous composition, The Birth of Venus (94.24.1), while she commissioned a Biblical figure painting and the present portrait. She sat for Cabanel in Paris, wearing a white satin evening dress that was the height of French fashion in 1876. Contemporary viewers admired the sitter's elegant hands and her stance as that of "a hostess receiving guests...full of flexibility and pliant, willowy grace, entirely American in its distinction and sensitive responsiveness."The portrait presided over the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Collection when it was first exhibited at the Museum in November 1887. It was hung directly across from the portrait by Daniel Huntington of the donor's father, John David Wolfe (now in the American Wing; 87.15.78). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3656681 Ia Orana Maria (Hail Mary). Artist: Paul Gauguin (French, Paris 1848-1903 Atuona, Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands). Dimensions: 44 3/4 x 34 1/2 in. (113.7 x 87.6 cm). Date: 1891.Before embarking on a series of pictures inspired by Polynesian religious beliefs, Gauguin devoted this, his first major Tahitian canvas, to a Christian theme, describing it in a letter of March 1892: "An angel with yellow wings reveals Mary and Jesus, both Tahitians, to two Tahitian women, nudes dressed in pareus, a sort of cotton cloth printed with flowers that can be draped from the waist. Very somber, mountainous background and flowering trees . a dark violet path and an emerald green foreground, with bananas on the left. I'm rather happy with it." Gauguin based much of the composition on a photograph he owned of a bas-relief in the Javanese temple of Borobudur. 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.

alb3608474 Young Mother Gazing at Her Child. Artist: William Bouguereau (French, La Rochelle 1825-1905 La Rochelle). Dimensions: 56 x 40 1/2 in. (142.2 x 102.9 cm). Date: 1871.This doting mother in picturesque dress and her angelic offspring are two of many such figures that Bouguereau painted with an eye to the international market. The scene is highly similar in subject and composition to Breton Brother and Sister, also dated 1871 (hanging nearby), and both works were bought by New York collectors--a testament to the popularity that the artist's scenes of "princesses dressed up as milkmaids" enjoyed in America. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: William Bouguereau.

alb3615795 Scene in the Jewish Quarter of Constantine. Artist: Théodore Chassériau (French, Le Limon, Saint-Domingue, West Indies 1819-1856 Paris). Dimensions: 22 3/8 x 18 1/2 in. (56.8 x 47 cm). Date: 1851.Chassériau witnessed this scene and sketched it in his notebook during a trip to Algeria in 1846. From the ancient town of Constantine he wrote, "I have seen some highly curious things: primitive and overwhelming, touching and singular. At Constantine, which is high up in some enormous mountains, one sees the Arab people and the Jewish people [living] as they were at the beginning of time." The Jewish women of North Africa were especially attractive subjects for European painters because they did not wear veils. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: 1874.In July and August 1874 Manet vacationed at his family's house in Gennevilliers, just across the Seine from Monet at Argenteuil. The two painters saw each other often that summer, and on a number of occasions they were joined by Renoir. While Manet was painting this picture of Monet with his wife Camille and their son Jean, Monet painted Manet at his easel (location unknown). Renoir, who arrived just as Manet was beginning to work, borrowed paint, brushes, and canvas, positioned himself next to Manet, and painted Madame Monet and Her Son (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.).

alb3616389 Two Young Peasant Women. Artist: Camille Pissarro (French, Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas 1830-1903 Paris). Dimensions: 35 1/4 x 45 7/8 in. (89.5 x 116.5 cm). Date: 1891-92.By virtue of their size, placement, and quiet dignity, these youthful laborers dominate the landscape setting--an open field near Pissarro's house at Éragny. Sympathetic to anarchist ideals, the artist wanted to preserve the values of agrarian society that were being threatened by the rapid industrialization of France. He began this picture in summer 1891 and completed it in mid-January 1892, a month before the opening of a major exhibition of his work organized by his dealer Joseph Durand-Ruel. Many of the fifty paintings were sold from the show, but Pissarro kept this canvas and gave it to his wife. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3673648 Hamlet and His Mother. Artist: Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798-1863 Paris). Dimensions: 10 3/4 x 7 1/8 in. (27.3 x 18.1 cm). Date: 1849.This painting depicts the moment in Shakespeare's epic tragedy Hamlet in which the protagonist, who has been speaking privately with his mother, Queen Gertrude of Denmark, notices a figure behind the curtains of her closet. Immediately afterward, Hamlet will impale the hidden Polonius with his sword, and utter the memorable phrase "How now! A rat? Dead for a ducat, dead!" The composition is identical to a black and white lithograph Delacroix made for a portfolio devoted to the play, which was first published in 1843. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Date: 1885.This painting from February/March 1885, with its restricted palette of dark tones, coarse facture, and blocky drawing, is typical of the works Van Gogh painted in Nuenen the year before he left Holland for France. His peasant studies of 1885 culminated in his first important painting, The Potato Eaters (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

From 1701 until 1717 the painting was in the possession of Adrien-Maurice, comte d'Ayen, later duc de Noailles, who played an important part in the War of the Spanish Succession and married a niece of Madame de Maintenon.

alb3653231 Madonna and Child. Artist: Titian (Tiziano Vecellio) (Italian, Pieve di Cadore ca. 1485/90?-1576 Venice). Dimensions: Overall 18 x 22 in. (45.7 x 55.9 cm); painted surface 17 x 21 1/2 in. (43.2 x 54.6 cm). Date: ca. 1508.This is among the earliest devotional paintings of the Madonna and Child by Titian, dating to about 1508. Technical study has revealed that the artist first posed the figures sitting erect and in the center of the canvas, a composition closer to those by Giovanni Bellini. The final pose is more informal and suggests a tender rapport between the mother and child. The picture has been strongly cleaned in the past and has lost much of its delicacy of definition.

alb3617601 The Visit to the Nursery. Artist: Gabriël Metsu (Dutch, Leiden 1629-1667 Amsterdam). Dimensions: 30 1/2 x 32 in. (77.5 x 81.3 cm). Date: 1661.In an impressively appointed room, modeled on a large chamber in the new Town Hall of Amsterdam, the parents of a newborn baby receive a fashionable well-wisher. Such a kraambezoek (cradle visit) was a minor ritual of polite society. At least two of the poses recall figures by one of Holland's closest observers of modern manners, Gerard ter Borch. The painting was celebrated in its own time--for example, in a poem by Jan Vos of 1662--but unfortunately its surface is badly worn from cleanings in the past.

Date: 1885.This work was made in Nuenen in late spring 1885, just after Van Gogh completed The Potato Eaters (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam), in the same dark hues that reminded the artist of "green soap" or "a really dusty potato, unpeeled of course." Van Gogh was "convinced that in the long run it produces better results to paint [peasants] in their coarseness than to introduce conventional sweetness... If a peasant painting smells of bacon, smoke, potato steam--fine--that's not unhealthy--if a stable smells of manure--very well, that's what a stable's for.".

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.

alb3643462 The Natchez. Artist: Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798-1863 Paris). Dimensions: 35 1/2 x 46 in. (90.2 x 116.8 cm). Date: 1823-24 and 1835.In 1823, Delacroix began to paint this scene from Chateaubriand's widely read Romantic novel Atala, which narrates the fate of the Natchez tribe in the wake of the French and Indian War (1754-63). After putting the canvas aside for about a decade, he finally completed the picture for the Paris Salon of 1835. In the catalogue, Delacroix provided this explanatory note: "Fleeing the massacre of their tribe, two young savages traveled up the Mississippi River. During the voyage, the woman was taken by pain of labor. The moment is that when the father holds the newborn in his hands, and both regard him tenderly.".
