This masterful portrait of Marcus Aurelius (reigned 161-180 CE) captures the pensive temperament of the philosopher-emperor and author of the celebrated "Meditations," reflections on life and the ways of the gods. The smooth, softly modeled carving of the flesh contrasts markedly with the mass of thick, curling hair. The drooping eyelids and detached gaze suggest his contemplative nature.

A gemellion (from the Latin geminus, meaning "twin") is one of a pair of basins used for hand washing, either at home or during the Mass. Water was poured from the spouted bowl and was caught in the second bowl placed below. Many gemellions made in the enamel manufacturing center of Limoges, France, were decorated with secular-themed designs of birds, beasts, or courtly scenes. This example shows a knight kneeling before his lady in the central medallion and women holding coats-of-arms on the surround.

This precious book was highly prized by its owner, Charles III, King of Navarre, a French-born prince whose coat of arms is painted on 20 folios. Charles visited Paris on numerous occasions and likely acquired this volume there in 1404. Paris was the center of the European book trade at the time and attracted illuminators from many parts of Europe. This manuscript represents one of the most remarkable fusions of French and Italian taste in book illumination. Though conforming to Parisian standards, most of the book’s major miniatures are the work of the Brussels Initials Master, an Italian illuminator who previously worked in Bologna and Padua.

On the flattened rim of this dish is a band of ironred enamel decoration with the Chinese characters Wanshou wujiang, meaning "Long life without limit."

A caryatid is a column in classical Greek architecture carved to resemble a female figure. Rodin originally designed <em>Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone </em>to serve as one of the figures on his monumental sculptural doorway <em>The Gates of Hell</em>. While Greek caryatids are typically draped, Rodin stripped the body of clothing and depicted the caryatid crushed under the weight of a stone, symbolically suggesting a state of physical suffering or emotional anguish. He exhibited<em> Fallen Caryatid</em> as an independent sculpture as early as 1883 and produced multiple versions in marble and bronze.

Gesamtansicht
Dargestellt ist der Rittergutsbesitzer Wilhelm Schneider, Sohn von Karl Wilhelm Schneider (um 1800 - 1838) und Sophie Dorothea geb. von Alemann (1813-1833). Wilhelm Schneider kam ungefähr 1830 zur Welt und wurde früh zum Waisenkind. Der Magdeburger ließ 1860 auf einem großen Grundstück an der Chaussee von Magdeburg nach Sudenburg für sich einen Gutshof mit Zichoriendarre und Villa errichten und dahinter einen kleinen Park mit geschwungenen Wegen. Später wurde aus diesem Gelände ein öffentlicher Park, der sogenannte "Schneidersgarten".
