Located off the coast of Maine, Monhegan Island has long drawn artists attracted to its rugged headlands, brooding forests, and dramatic ocean vistas. Unlike most colleagues who visited during summer, Kent built a home and lived there year-round, working as a well digger, lobsterman, and carpenter from 1906–8. This boldly rendered winter scene was painted from his studio window.

Gift of the Hanna Fund
This lidded beaker, or cup, is actually a timepiece. More precisely, it is an elaborate and rare type of sundial that is quite accurate. Time is measured by the shadow of the tip of the gnomon (the vertical rod inside the cup) indicating the hours along the spiraling lines engraved around the side wall. This tells two versions of the time, according to different systems. Arabic numbers mark lines indicating "German" hours, which are like ours: 24 of the same length making up one day. Roman numerals mark the "planet" hours: within one day, the period of daylight is divided into 12 hours (which change in length with the seasons). At the time this timepiece was made, the older planet-hour system was rapidly being replaced, given a new emphasis on the mechanization of the clock with its hours of equal length. The system of vertical lines and points marked by the signs of the zodicac- such as the crab for Cancer- indicates the date. As well as telling the time, there is a scale between the two types of numbers that established the height of the sun. Finally, a chamber under the base once housed a compass, making this a multipurpose scientific instrument.
With its engraved decoration and reverse painted glass insets- with the days of the week represented by the seven planetary gods, based on woodcuts by the German master Virgil Solis- this is a splendid example of Nuremberg goldsmith work. Indeed, the city's coat of arms, featuring the Habsburg double-headed eagle, is on the cap to the chamber under the base (at left). The beaker was probably made as an official present from the city. The initial recipient may have been "Francis of Padua," identified in the inscription on the underside of the cover as a physician working in the Italian city of Forli, but who is otherwise unknown.

The elaborate earring depicts a Sphinx with a female head, pronounced breasts, and a bird's body with raised wings seated on a trapezoidal base. She is heavily adorned, with a necklace, straps crossing between the breasts, and multiple garnets. The large, central stone of her headdress is missing, but above she is wearing the crown of the Egyptian goddess Hathor, consisting of a sun-disc inscribed in cow horns with two plumes above. Outside of the myths, the apotropaic character of the Sphinx as well as of other monsters such as griffins, sirens, and the Medusa could transform them into guardians and protectors, and make them in this case even into an appropriate motif for jewelry.

Götz covers every surface in gold leaf, giving each part of the object equal importance, rather than simply framing a central picture. In this distinctively Central European approach, figural narrative is subordinate to the overall ensemble. Götz designed this object to rest on top of an altar, probably in front of a larger painted or sculpted decorative scheme. The work contains relics seen through the small windows on the perimeter. These small remains of holy figures demonstrate the persistence of a medieval Catholic tradition well into the 1700s.

This carefully carved plump female figure has short limbs, a large head with short curly hair, and large breasts. A deep hole marks the navel. The wide pubic triangle is marked by holes. There is a depression on top of the buttocks. On the head is a large lotus blossom. A ball surrounded by ridges has been inserted into the hollow lotus to form the calyx of the flower.

This leaf and the bifolium (double-leaf) displayed to the right both come from the same manuscript: a large lectern bible. The decorative scheme consists of a single historiated initial and spiky ivy-leaf tendrils along the margins, a Parisian convention just developing at this time. These "ascenders" and "descenders" originate from two of the initials and meander along the margins as separators and framing devices for the text. This ivy-leaf motif dominated book illumination in Paris through the early 15th century.
The interior of the initial E contains a background of geometric patterns (called diapering) against which is set Jonah and the whale and the ancient city of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. The illusionistic effect creates three layers of perspective-the framing initial, the figures, and the background.

The Edward B. Greene Collection
Konstantin Yegorovich Makovskii (1839-1915), a popular artist and member of the Peredvizhniki, or Wanderers, is best known for historical genre scenes. Depicted in glossy enamel is The Bride's Attire (or Dressing the Bride) (1889). In a 17th-century interior, some lavishly attired women and a solitary youth have assembled to watch the bride as she is being dressed. A young girl kneels at the bride's feet a young girl and behind, an elder woman combs the subject's hair. To convey a sense of verisimilitude, the artist has included such details as a jewel box and a teremok-shaped casket in walrus ivory and bone of the type associated with the town of Kholmogory in northern Russia. An icon is also discernible on the wall in the background.
An unusual feature of this casket is the Viking-style interlace in turquoise over black enamel on the lid's sloping deck. These patterns bear striking resemblance to those in an illustration of the Aberlemno Cross in Inigo Jones's The Grammar of Ornament (1856), a resource that would most likely have been available in Moscow. Another possible source for the interlace could have been found in late 17th-century Russian manuscripts. The sides and ends of the box have vignettes of brightly colored flowers and buds over a cream ground. These, in turn, are framed by patterns of interlace in blue, olive, violet, and black. By this time, Rückert increasingly employed black enamel in his works.
The lid of the box opens to reveal a turquoise, en plein counter enamel over a ground engraved with flowers and buds.
The box is equipped with handles at both ends and with bracket feet.
