ICHIKAWA OF THE MATSUBAYA, 1790-1800. CREATOR: KITAGAWA UTAMARO.

Ichikawa of the Matsubaya, 1790-1800. The oiran, or high-ranking yuejo ‘woman of pleasure’ Ichikawa, who worked in the Matsuba house in the Edomachi Itchome district of the Yoshiwara. She is pictured here in the loose, flowing garments and informal front - tyingobi (sash), fashionable with yuejo of the time. She holds a brass pipe in her right hand and sits with a lacquer box of smoking utensils. The koi (carp) leaping upwards through a waterfall on her gorgeous uchikake (over-kimono) was associated with perseverance, and with love. The first quality is suggested in Ichikawa’s tired, poignant pose and expression, reflecting her resignation to the harsh indenture of the quarters. The latter reference is more ironic, as there was little true love to be found in brothel engagements. Ichikawa of the Matsubaya, 1790-1800. Creator: Kitagawa Utamaro.

JOSEPH'S COAT BROUGHT TO JACOB, C.1633. CREATOR: REMBRANDT HARMENSZ VAN RIJN.

Joseph's coat brought to Jacob, c.1633. The tragic consequences, when Joseph's brothers turned against him, are described in Genesis 37:12-35. In his etching, the immediate news is being conveyed to the devasted Jacob, who throws back his head and raises his hands in horror at the sight of the coat. One of the sons, probably Reuben, is acting up the story, while his brother Judah is calmer, feigning concern. His bulky purse betrays the truth behind the deception. Leah, his elderly mother, stands at the doorway, staring open-mouthed, and nervously draws her hands together Joseph's coat brought to Jacob, c.1633. Creator: Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn.

THE CRUCIFIXION: SMALL PLATE, C.1635. CREATOR: REMBRANDT HARMENSZ VAN RIJN.

The crucifixion: small plate, c.1635. Presenting the viewer with a sensitive interpretation of Christ on the Cross, close attention has been paid to the intricate features on the figures. Creating a solemn and reflective scene, the figures surrounding Christ are placed in the lower area of the image, giving this work weight and depth. The line work is intricately hatched throughout the image with highly developed areas on the back of the standing figure and on Christ. The overlapping figures interweave between one another, presenting a rhythmic quality to the image. The swooning figure of the devastated Virgin Mary at lower left enhances the powerful emotion of the tragic scene. The crucifixion: small plate, c.1635. Creator: Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn.

THE STROLLING MUSICIANS, C.1635. CREATOR: REMBRANDT HARMENSZ VAN RIJN.

The strolling musicians, c.1635. A sympathetic inquiry into the lives of impoverished people, including beggars. Two musicians, one playing a hurdy gurdy, and the other the bagpipes, lean before an absorbed looking family with a toddler to perform. Light from inside the home illuminates the dim, intimate moment, thus highlighting the profiles of the players. The strolling musicians, c.1635. Creator: Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn.

LE CHAPEAU ÉPINGLÉ (PINNING THE HAT), 1894. CREATOR: PIERRE-AUGUSTE RENOIR.

Le chapeau épinglé (Pinning the hat), 1894. The models were Julie Manet, the daughter of Impressionist artist Berthe Morisot and niece of Edouard Manet, and her cousin, Paulette Gobillard. The scene originated from a study Renoir made while on holiday on the coast of Northern France with Morisot and her family. Julie Manet was a favorite model for Renoir and on this occasion he drew her on the beach with her cousin who was adjusting the pin on her large sun hat. Le chapeau épinglé (Pinning the hat), 1894.

THE BEHEADING OF JOHN THE BAPTIST, 1625-1630. CREATOR: GIUSEPPE CALETTI.

The beheading of John the Baptist, 1625-1630. Plate 12 of series ' Esemplari per facilitar gli amatori del disegno' (Specimens to make drawing for enthusiasts easier) and corresponds to a booklet of thirteen, dedicated to Roberto Canonici. It depicts an ugly and brutal executioner - almost certainly influenced by earlier German 'Little Master' printmakers - holding up the head of St John the Baptist to the beautifully dressed, rather stiffly posed Salome, who holds a metal charger to accommodate it.

Cain killing Abel, 1524. The story is recounted in the Book of Genesis and tells of Cain's jealousy of his younger brother, whose sacrifice is preferred by God. Cain kills Abel and is condemned to be an outcast in the lands 'east of Eden'. In this engraving, the bearded and clearly older figure of Cain is about to land the death blow on the youthful Abel's exposed neck with the jawbone of an ass. Cain killing Abel, 1524.

SATYR SOUNDING A HORN, 1531-1550. CREATOR: SEBALD BEHAM.

Satyr sounding a horn, 1531-1550. Satyrs are mythical creatures, half man, half goat, ready for any physical pleasure, especially if it relates to wine, women (bacchantes and nymphs) and, here, song. The rough, natural horn with a conical (as opposed to straight) bore, obviously the horn of an animal, is the ancestor of the modern French horn. Satyr sounding a horn, 1531-1550.

THE VIRGIN ON THE CRESCENT WITH A SCEPTRE AND A STARRY CROWN, 1516. CREATOR: ALBRECHT DURER.

The Virgin on the crescent with a sceptre and a starry crown, 1516. The Virgin stands on a crescent moon, holding Christ in her arms (he holds an apple). She holds a sceptre, and wears a high crown topped with stars. Light streams out from behind her in an aureole or mandala. This reflects the 'woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars', often identified with the Virgin, in the Book of Revelations (12:1).

VIRGIN AND CHILD WITH SAINTS FRANCIS, ANDREW, PAUL, PETER, STEPHEN, AND LOUIS OF TOULOUSE, C1317-21 CREATOR: UGOLINO DA SIENA.

Virgin and Child with Saints Francis, Andrew, Paul, Peter, Stephen, and Louis of Toulouse, c. 1317-21. Six Christian saints occupy arched panels on both sides of the Virgin Mary and infant Jesus, as angels peer down from above. Jesus reappears in the center of the upper tier, surrounded by Hebrew prophets. This painting’s rounded panels and triangular pinnacles suggest the architecture of its original location—it was made for the altar of a church. Altarpieces like this one, with gold backgrounds that would have reflected flickering candlelight, were designed to encourage churchgoers in their devotions.

Virgin And Child With Saint John The Baptist, c1490. The Virgin Mary tenderly embraces her infant son, Jesus, while a young John the Baptist prays devoutly. The Latin inscription on his scroll translates as, “Behold the Lamb of God.” John would later speak these words to his followers when introducing Jesus, prophesying Christ’s fate as an innocent lamb sacrificed to redeem humankind from its sins. The scene is painted as a tondo, a circular format often used for devotional pictures intended for domestic settings in fifteenth-century Florence.

Virgin And Child Enthroned With Four Angels, c1460-70. The Virgin Mary and Jesus are attended by angels, whose wings are partly visible. The angel in red directs our attention to the infant reaching for a flower offered by his mother, an interaction which may symbolize divine love or allude to Jesus’s fate. The angel in white casts a shadow across the base of Mary’s throne, suggesting the painting originally hung to the right of a window. Piero was an influential artist and mathematician particularly interested in perspective and in Greco-Roman antiquity. Virgin And Child Enthroned With Four Angels, c1460-70.

Behind them, two angels unfurl a scroll on which an appeal to “contribute to this devotion” is written in Italian. The painting was probably intended to encourage viewers to earn blessings by offering donations toward the construction of a monastery or church—perhaps one resembling the structure depicted.

Brutus Condemning His Sons To Death, 1788. Lucius Junius Brutus orchestrated a revolt to overthrow the last king of Rome and establish the Roman Republic in 509 BCE. Never again, Brutus decreed, would one man rule over the Roman people. However, in an act of defiance the brothers of Brutus’s wife Vitellia, and Brutus’s sons, Titus Junius and Tiberius Junius, secretly plotted to restore the monarchy. Their machinations were discovered and the consuls sentenced the traitors to death. Brutus was ordered to witness his sons’ executions; his stoic acceptance of their gruesome murder and his devotion to the Republic over his family became the powerful moral of this bloody tale.
