Four-Cornered Hat,A.D. 500–900 Object Details Date: A.D. 500–900 Geography: Bolivia or Peru Culture: Tiwanaku or Wari Medium: Camelid fiber Dimensions: H. 7 in. × Diam. 7 1/4 in. × Circum. 22 3/4 in. (17.8 × 18.4 × 57.8 cm) Classification: Textiles-Costumes Credit Line: Bequest of Arthur M. Bullowa, 1993 Accession Number: 1994.35.158 Tiwanaku or Wari In the ancient Andes, royal crowns could be made of cloth. This example is patterned with alternating bird images arranged in two registers. It was knotted without pile from the top down, including the four peaks, as a single tour de force of construction. Although the technique follows the Tiwanaku craft tradition, the checkerboard pattern and bird motif suggest Wari influence, leaving the origin of this hat unresolved.

Portrait of Madame Renoir Pierre-Auguste Renoir, French, 1841 - 1919 Geography: Made in France, Europe Date: c. 1885 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 25 3/4 x 21 1/4 inches (65.4 x 54 cm) Curatorial Department: European Painting before 1900, Johnson Collection Object Location: Gallery 162, European Art 1850-1900, first floor (Vogt Gallery) Accession Number: W1957-1-1 Credit Line: Purchased with the W. P. Wilstach Fund, 1957 Label: Renoir first met Aline Charigot in late 1879. She soon became a favorite model and, in 1890, the artist's wife. Charigot probably posed for this portrait in 1885, soon after the birth of their first son, Pierre, while the family was in the countryside of eastern France. Renoir kept this intimate portrait all his life. Additional information: Publication- Masterpieces from the Philadelphia Museum of Art: Impressionism and Modern Art Aline Charigot was working as a seamstress in the Montmartre section of Paris when she met Renoir about 1879 and began modeling for him. She appears in several of his paintings from the 1880s, including Luncheon of the Bathing Party (Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.), and she became his mistress around the same time (they married in 1890). This is the first portrait Renoir painted of Aline, probably following the birth of their son Pierre in March 1885. It was most likely painted that summer, when they visited her home village of Essoyes in southern Champagne; the fresh light of the painting and Aline's jaunty straw hat, decorated with flowers, suggest a country setting, as does the simple cut of her jacket. The crisp use of line and contour is typical of Renoir's work of the mid-1880s, when in a crisis of confidence he felt the need to improve his painting and drawing technique. The hatched or close, parallel brushstrokes of the background may owe something to Cézanne, but the lively sense of color and the vivid flush of Aline's cheeks are undeniably Renoir's. They make this a deeply affectionate and personal portrait that he understandably kept all his life. Jennifer A.

Artist: James Tissot (French, 1836–1902) Title: Tea Date: 1872 Medium: Oil on wood Dimensions: 26 x 18 7/8 in. (66 x 47.9 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Gift of Mrs. Charles Wrightsman, 1998 Accession Number: 1998.170 Gallery Label: When Tissot moved to London in 1871, he immersed himself in the local scene, with work for "Vanity Fair" and genre paintings with the river Thames as backdrop. "Tea" is a repetition of the left-hand portion of one of his most famous London scenes, "Bad News" (National Museum of Wales, Cardiff), which shows a captain and his girlfriend absorbing the news of his imminent departure while a companion prepares tea. "Bad News" shows the Pool of London through the tavern windows, while "Tea" displays the dense London cityscape beyond that stretch of the river. Tissot's friend Edgar Degas owned a pencil study for this picture. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/collection_database/europe...

Benedikt von Hertenstein (born about 1495, died 1522) 1517 Object Details Title: Benedikt von Hertenstein (born about 1495, died 1522) Artist: Hans Holbein the Younger (German, Augsburg 1497/98–1543 London) Date: 1517 Medium: Oil and gold on paper, laid down on wood Dimensions: Overall 20 1/2 x 15 in. (52.4 x 38.1 cm); painted surface 20 3/8 x 14 5/8 in. (51.4 x 37.1 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Rogers Fund, aided by subscribers, 1906 Accession Number: 06.1038 In 1517 Holbein decorated the house of the Lucerne magistrate Jacob von Hertenstein. Concurrently, he made this portrait of the magistrate's eldest son, Benedikt, who engages the viewer both with his direct glance and the inscription, which reads as if he is speaking: "When I looked like this I was twenty-two years old." Following these words is the declaration that "H.H." painted the work. The artist’s use of paper mounted on wood is unusual but not unique. He initiated the portrait as a drawing on paper and then continued working it up in oil colors to its completion. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/436657

Round Swamp Road Old Bethpage, NY 11804 Old Bethpage Village Restoration provides visitors with a unique and wonderful opportunity to step back in time and experience life in a recreated mid-19th-century American village. The 209-acre village includes an assortment of homes, farms and businesses. Each October, the village hosts the Long Island Fair, a traditional county agricultural fair that draws tens of thousands of visitors, and through most of the year has a steady series of family-friendly events and exhibits, including old-time baseball tournaments. Old Bethpage Village Restoration came into existence in 1963, when Nassau County acquired the Powell property, a 165-acre farm located on the Nassau-Suffolk border. The acquisition of the land and the plan to develop a historic restoration were timely, as development on Long Island had taken its toll on the area's landmarks. In 1963, Plainview's historic Manetto Hill Methodist Church was the first structure to be saved and moved to the Powell property. Today, there are 51 historic buildings and seven reconstructions and the site encompasses 209 acres. Buildings are selected based on their architectural detail and historic significance. The goal is to establish a representative sampling of 19th-century structures. After buildings have been moved to the village, they are carefully restored to a specific point in their history, and the lives of the former occupants are thoroughly researched. Each structure is scrutinized for clues to its role in community life, and authentic hardware, shingles and glass sought - with the help of wills, deeds, and inventory lists - so the structures can beauthentically furnished ( in some cases with pieces original to the building). But the roots of Old Bethpage Village date back even further than the 19th century to the Dutch and English settlement of Long Island. During the 1640s, the colonial settlers in this area founded town "spots" that functioned as commercial and social centers where taverns, general stores and meeting houses were built. In addition to a centrally located town lot, each townsman received outlying fields to use for grazing livestock, growing crops, or harvesting firewood. By 1700, when the English had gained control of Long Island, townships controlled whatever land had not already been distributed, and the economy had expanded to include trades dependent on the sea as well as the land. Life remained quiet, unhurried and closely tied to nature. These patterns, evident well well into the 19th century, can be seen at Old Bethpage Restoration.
