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.

alb3669064 Mars and Venus United by Love. Artist: Paolo Veronese (Paolo Caliari) (Italian, Verona 1528-1588 Venice). Dimensions: 81 x 63 3/8 in. (205.7 x 161 cm). 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.

alb3629895 Condesa de Altamira and Her Daughter, María Agustina. Artist: Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes) (Spanish, Fuendetodos 1746-1828 Bordeaux). Dimensions: 76 3/4 x 45 1/4 in. (195 x 115 cm). Date: 1787-88.This imposing portrait is one of four that Goya painted of members of Count Altamira's family. (Another is the Museum's portrait of Don Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zuñiga [49.7.41].) The patronage of this powerful family greatly advanced the artist's career; shortly after this work was completed, he was appointed court painter to Charles IV, king of Spain. Goya's brilliant treatment of the countess' gown, with its shimmering embroidered silk, attests to his mastery of technique, while the distant, introspective expressions of the sitters reveal his ability to endow even the most formal of portraits with a penetrating psychological immediacy. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3655383 The Hatch Family. Artist: Eastman Johnson (American, Lovell, Maine 1824-1906 New York). Dimensions: 48 x 73 3/8 in. (121.9 x 186.4 cm). 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.

alb3608811 Mother and Son. Artist: Thomas Sully (American, Horncastle, Lincolnshire 1783-1872 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Dimensions: 57 x 45 3/8 in. (144.8 x 115.3 cm). Date: 1840.This grand, allegorically rich portrait of Sully's daughter Jane Cooper Sully Darley (1807-1877) and her son Francis Thomas Sully Darley (d.1914) has provoked many interpretations, the most ambitious of which equates mother and son with the mythological figure of Penelope, the ideal wife of Odysseus, and Telemachus, her perfect son. Sully filled the composition with attributes of blithe family life: the spray of ivy clinging to the wall is the emblem of a faithful wife; the scene on the urn--Hermes bringing the infant Dionysus to be nurtured by the nymphs--alludes to the duties of motherhood; the boy's foot lightly resting on his dog connotes fidelity and loyalty. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3604306 Virgin and Child. Artist: Bartolomé Estebán Murillo (Spanish, Seville 1617-1682 Seville). Dimensions: 65 1/4 x 43 in. (165.7 x 109.2 cm). Date: ca. 1670-72.Like Zurbarán and Velázquez, Murillo was trained in Seville, where he spent his whole career. This painting of the Madonna and Child formed part of the collection of the Marqués de Santiago, who owned a number of outstanding works by the artist. The popularity of Murillo's paintings of the Madonna and Child derives from his ability to endow a timeworn theme with a quality of intimacy and sweetness. The infant's attention has, in this picture, been momentarily diverted from nursing by the presence of the viewer. 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.

alb3610341 The Card Players. Artist: Paul Cézanne (French, Aix-en-Provence 1839-1906 Aix-en-Provence). Dimensions: 25 3/4 x 32 1/4 in. (65.4 x 81.9 cm). Date: 1890-92.This is probably the first in a series of five paintings that Cézanne devoted to peasants playing cards. Enlisting local farmhands to serve as models, he may have drawn inspiration for his genre scene from a seventeenth-century painting by the Le Nain brothers in the museum in his hometown of Aix. The Metropolitan's picture was followed by a version twice its size, which includes the additional figure of a standing child at right (Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia). In the last three compositions, Cézanne continuously pared away details, focusing on just a pair of card players. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3615048 Scenes from the Life of Saint John the Baptist. Artist: Francesco Granacci (Francesco di Andrea di Marco) (Italian, Villamagna 1469-1543 Florence). Dimensions: 30 9/16 x 59 1/2 in. (77.6 x 151.1 cm). Date: ca. 1506-7.This panel is one of at least five that told the story of the Life of Saint John the Baptist, beginning here with the Annunciation of his conception to Zacharias, his father; the Visitation between his mother, Elizabeth, and the Virgin Mary; and the saint's birth. They may have been painted on the occasion of a wedding in the Tornabuoni family in Florence, and intended to decorate the young couple's special room, or camera. More than one artist worked on the cycle; Granacci, an early friend of Michelangelo, painted this engaging narrative. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3656573 Young Ladies of the Village. Artist: Gustave Courbet (French, Ornans 1819-1877 La Tour-de-Peilz). Dimensions: 76 3/4 x 102 3/4 in. (194.9 x 261 cm). Date: 1851-52.This painting, which initiated a series of pictures devoted to the lives of women, shows Courbet's three sisters--Zélie, Juliette, and Zoé--strolling in the Communal, a small valley near his native village of Ornans. One of the girls offers alms to a young cowherd. Courbet had high hopes for the work, but when it was exhibited at the Salon of 1852, critics attacked it as tasteless and clumsy. They reviled the models' common features and countrified costumes, the "ridiculous" little dog and cattle, and the overall lack of unity, including traditional perspective and scale. 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. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3624332 The Holy Family with Saint Mary Magdalen. Artist: Andrea Mantegna (Italian, Isola di Carturo 1430/31-1506 Mantua). Dimensions: 22 1/2 x 18 in. (57.2 x 45.7 cm). Date: ca. 1495-1500.The composition of this late picture by Mantegna was inspired by Roman funerary reliefs, which accounts for the combination of austerity and sweetness. It is painted in distemper rather than oil, allowing the artist to give strong definition to the forms. Originally, the colors would have had a freshness and clarity. However, the picture has suffered from past cleanings and its surface has been varnished, compromising the intended effect. Mantegna painted for the elite Gonzaga court in Mantua, where the antiquarian culture informing this picture would have been appreciated. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3698375 Baby (Cradle). Dated: 1917/1918. Dimensions: overall: 110.9 x 110.4 cm (43 11/16 x 43 7/16 in.) framed: 116.21 x 115.89 x 6.67 cm (45 3/4 x 45 5/8 x 2 5/8 in.). Medium: oil on canvas. Museum: National Gallery of Art, Washington DC. Author: GUSTAV KLIMT.

alb3626305 Woman with a Rake. Artist: Jean-François Millet (French, Gruchy 1814-1875 Barbizon). Dimensions: 15 5/8 x 13 1/2 in. (39.7 x 34.3 cm). Date: probably 1856-57.Millet first treated this subject in a woodcut, one of ten in the series Labors of the Fields that were published in a popular periodical in 1853. The art dealer Martinet, in whose gallery such avant-garde artists as Courbet and Manet exhibited, included this painting in a show in 1860. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3745349 In the Dining Room. Dated: 1886. Dimensions: overall: 61.3 x 50 cm (24 1/8 x 19 11/16 in.) framed: 78.7 x 67.3 cm (31 x 26 1/2 in.). Medium: oil on canvas. Museum: National Gallery of Art, Washington DC. Author: Berthe Morisot.

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.

alb3682937 The Birth of Venus. Artist: Alexandre Cabanel (French, Montpellier 1823-1889 Paris). Dimensions: 41 3/4 x 71 7/8 in. (106 x 182.6 cm). Date: 1875.The first version of Cabanel's Birth of Venus (Musée d'Orsay, Paris) created a sensation at the Salon of 1863, which was dubbed the "Salon of the Venuses" owing to the number of alluring nudes on view. Embodying the ideals of academic art, the careful modeling, silky brushwork, and mythological subject of Cabanel's canvas proved a winning combination: the Salon picture was purchased by no less than Napoleon III for his personal collection. In 1875, John Wolfe commissioned the present, slightly smaller, replica from Cabanel. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3679186 The Monet Family in Their Garden at Argenteuil. Artist: Édouard Manet (French, Paris 1832-1883 Paris). Dimensions: 24 x 39 1/4 in. (61 x 99.7 cm). 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.).

alb3634300 Majas on a Balcony. Artist: Attributed to Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes) (Spanish, Fuendetodos 1746-1828 Bordeaux). Dimensions: 76 3/4 x 49 1/2in. (194.9 x 125.7cm). Date: ca. 1800-1810.The theme of women on a balcony overseen by watchful, somewhat threatening male companions strongly engaged Goya, who treated this subject in a painting now in a private collection. Dating from about 1810, the latter is among Goya's masterpieces. The Metropolitan's painting is sometimes considered a variant composition, its attribution questioned by some experts. Expressively and stylistically, however, the two paintings are quite different and the Metropolitan's painting has suffered from abrasion and past overcleaning. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3637920 The Holy Family with Saints Anne and Catherine of Alexandria. Artist: Jusepe de Ribera (called Lo Spagnoletto) (Spanish, Játiva 1591-1652 Naples). Dimensions: 82 1/2 x 60 3/4 in. (209.6 x 154.3 cm). Date: 1648.A masterpiece of the artist's maturity, this painting combines the naturalism and quality of physical presence associated with Caravaggio with the elevated formal language of Raphael. Spanish by birth, Ribera lived all of his adult life in Rome and Naples, which was ruled by a Spanish viceroy. During his early years in Rome, he adopted Caravaggio's practice of working directly from posed models and this has enabled him to give vibrant presence to figures inhabiting a sacred realm.

Date: 1616.The date of 1616 on the tall shepherd's hat is the earliest known on any work by Jordaens. He never went to Italy but intensified the Caravaggesque qualities found in works by Rubens and other Antwerp artists such as Abraham Janssens. His handling of light and shadow and closely clustered figure groups convey a sense of intimacy that is distinctive of the young Jordaens. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3609919 A Cowherd at Valhermeil, Auvers-sur-Oise. Artist: Camille Pissarro (French, Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas 1830-1903 Paris). Dimensions: 21 5/8 x 36 1/4 in. (54.9 x 92.1 cm). Date: 1874.This view shows one of the roads connecting the hamlet of Valhermeil in Auvers with Pontoise, the village northwest of Paris where Pissarro lived for many years. Between 1873 and 1882, he painted some twenty works in this area, several featuring the same red-roofed house. The subject, villagers walking on paths through the French countryside, was one of the artist's favorites, reflecting his interest in the pulse of daily rural life. Made in 1874, the year of the first Impressionist exhibition, this picture demonstrates Pissarro's adaptation of the looser touch, broken brushstrokes, and lighter palette of younger colleagues like Monet. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3653455 Joseph-Antoine Moltedo (born 1775). Artist: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (French, Montauban 1780-1867 Paris). Dimensions: 29 5/8 x 22 7/8 in. (75.2 x 58.1 cm). Date: ca. 1810.Corsican by birth, Moltedo was an enterprising businessman and inventor, agent to the French clergy at the Vatican, and director of the Roman post office from 1803 until 1814. Painted during one of the most productive periods of Ingres's nascent career, this refined portrait belongs to a series of commissions he received from French officials in Napoleonic Rome. They are distinguished by the inclusion of Roman views as backdrops--in this case the Appian Way and the Colosseum--as well as by stormy gray skies, a Romantic conceit that serves as a foil to the calm and secure expressions of the men portrayed.

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.

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.
