art egyptien - Relief of Akhenaten as a sphinx (1349 B.C. - 1336 B.C.)

The association of royalty with the majestic and powerful lion can be traced back to the earliest periods. The human-headed lion, or sphinx, was also identified with aspects of the sun god. In this example, King Akhenaten crouches before a table of offerings. He presents cartouches, or oval rings, with the names of his solar god, the Aten. This god is represented by the sun's disk shedding its rays over the whole scene. Relief fragments similar to this one are in Hanover, Geneva and Brooklyn; a number of them were excavated at Akhenaten's own capital city of Akhet-aten (modern el-Amarna). They were found in place as doorjambs and suggest that this piece also served a similar purpose.

art perse - Striding lion (604 B.C. - 561 B.C.)

Excavated in 1899 at Babylon by a German expedition under the direction of Robert Koldewey, this panel was one of the 120 similar reliefs that included lions, bulls and dragons. The relief symbolizes life and death, and once decorated the walls along the processional way leading from the Ishtar Gate to the great temple of Marduk, suggested to be the famed "Tower of Babel." A reconstruction of the Ishtar Gate is now in Berlin.

Canaletto - Bacino di San Marco, Venice

Affluent eighteenth-century visitors to the enchanting city of Venice delighted in taking home painted topographical views known as vedute. Canaletto, one of the foremost vedute painters, here animates the entrance to Venice with cargo boats and gondolas that lead the eye back to precisely rendered buildings along the shore. Clearly identifiable are the gothic intricacies of the Doge's palace at left and the church of San Giorgio Maggiore at right. Light from the cloudy sky, dappling the water with shadow, gives the view grandeur and unity.

Mary Stevenson Cassatt - In the Loge

In the late 1870s, when she first exhibited with the Impressionists, Cassatt painted several images of the theater, a popular entertainment in Paris. Unlike her friend Edgar Degas, Cassatt focused on the spectators rather than the performers, exposing the dramas in the audience. In the Loge explores the act of looking: a distant man (at right) watches the woman in black who stares through her opera glasses at another spectator. This series of glances evokes Cassatt's own studious observation as she produced the picture. Despite the man's intense gaze, the woman in black is not merely an object of his desire. Her own actions emphasize her independence and reflect the increasing social freedom accorded modern women.

John Singer Sargent - An Artist in His Studio

This picture represents the Italian painter Ambrogio Raffele, with whom Sargent vacationed in the Italian Alps. Raffele is using his tiny hotel room as a studio; he and his landscape painting are shifted to the left corner, and much of this composition is given over to laundry and rumpled bed linens. The London Times wrote admiringly, "Surely, never were tumbled white sheets so painted before." The pictorial challenge of painting white on white is one Sargent particularly enjoyed; he handled it with extraordinary bravura here. Purchased by the MFA the year after it was completed, An Artist in His Studio was the first painting by Sargent to be acquired by an American museum.
