Metropolitan Museum Journal: Volume 38, 2003

ENLARGE

The Metropolitan Museum Journal is issued annually by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its purpose is to publish original research on works in the Museum's collections and the areas of investigation they represent. Contributions, by members of the Museum staff and other specialists, vary in length from monographic studies to brief notes. The wealth of the Museum's collections and the scope of these essays make the Journal essential reading for all scholars and amateurs of the fine arts.

This volume opens with a study of an Early Protoattic neck-amphora dating from about 700 B.C. and attributed to the Passas Painter. There follows a detailed analysis of a group of Hellenistic silver vessels and utensils, with particular emphasis on the inscriptions and what they indicate about the object's manufacture and use. Two articles examine the probable royal provenance of objects in the Metropolitan's collection: the Wilton "Montmorency" armor, made about 1544 in Italy for Henry VIII, king of England; and a French Renaissance marble relief, a funerary monument to Charles IX of France. An article about Peter Paul Rubens's drawing of Nicolas Trigault, a Jesuit missionary, investigates the background of the subject of the portrait. A nineteenth-century chair, probably from Campeche, Mexico, is examined in terms of its form, origin, and provenance. English and American paintings inspired two essays, one on the historical significance and influence of a portrait of Benjamin Franklin's daughter by John Hoppner, and the other on the original identification of Sanford Robinson Gifford's Gorge in the Mountains.

230 pages, 260 illustrations (5 in full color), 8 1/2 in. x 11 in. Paper.
