Model for the so-called "Female Saint of Starnberg". Culture: German, Munich. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): H. 8 1/8 x W. 4 1/8 x D. 2 7/8 in. (20.6 x 10.5 x 7.3 cm). Maker: Ignaz Günther (German, Altmannstein 1725-1775 Munich). Date: ca. 1755.The celebrated eighteenth-century Munich court sculptor Ignaz Günther carved this mesmerizing statuette. It is a "bozetto," or working model, for the nearly lifesize sculpture of the so-called "Female Saint of Starnberg," whose haunting composition was widely considered to be one of the artist's most innovative and poignant figural inventions. Günther captured the principal forms and volumes and the essential elements of the composition in his 'bozetto" in the same way a painter would use a sketch. Though the model's surface is still angular and the detailing is uneven, its elegance and courtly gesture presage its transformation into a large figure. The seductive twisting of the saint's body, her theatrically animated costume rippling in an i

Chinese musicians ca. 1755 Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory The large group now known as the Chinese Musicians represents one of the towering achievements of the modeler Joseph Willems (Flemish, 1715/16-1766) at Chelsea and indeed of the factory itself. Composed of four figures, one of which represents a child, the group is the largest and most complex of any produced at Chelsea or at any other eighteenth-century porcelain factory in England. Because of its scale and the number of figures, the group would have entailed a highly laborious process to model and to assemble, and to fire it successfully would have presented additional challenges revealed in the small firing cracks and in the areas in which the enamel decoration appears slightly scorched. One other example of the Chinese Musicians exists,1 and it is likely that very few were produced due not only to the difficulty of fabricating it but also to the high price at which it had to be sold.One Chelsea factory sale catalogue from A

Inkstand with A Madman Distilling His Brains ca. 1600 Italian, probably Urbino In this whimsical maiolica sculpture, a well-dressed man leans forward in his seat with his head in a covered pot set above a fiery hearth. The vessel beside the hearth almost certainly held ink. The mans actions are explained by an inscription on the chair: "I distill my brain and am totally happy." Thus the task of the writer is equated with distillation—the process through which a liquid is purified by heating and cooling, extracting its essence..

Cherub with outstretched arms second half 18th-mid-19th century Italian The practice of using crèche figures to restage religious events reached the height of its complexity and artistic excellence in eighteenth-century Naples, and the Metropolitan Museum of Arts group of Neapolitan crèche is one of the finest and most complete survivals of the art form. The ensemble consists of characters traditional to eighteenth-century Italian Christmas holiday customs. The Nativity, featuring the holy family, shepherds and their flocks, and a host of angels and cherubs is joined by the procession of the three Magi and colorful peasants, townspeople, and animals. The figures have articulated bodies of tow and wire with polychromed terracotta heads, and are all in partially distressed condition.These vibrant characters are further brought to life by a wide-ranging set of cloth, embroidery, leather, wicker, wax, and silver accessories. Many of these, such as the figures luxurious costumes, baskets

Equestrienne 725 CE-750 CE China. Chinese ceramic figures made exclusively for burial often vividly evoke the fashions and recreational activities of their aristocratic owners. This figure sensitively captures a quiet moment in the life of a matronly equestrienne, who gently guides her horse. The animalís powerful neck and flanks, long legs, trimmed mane, and decoratively tied tail are features distinctive to the handsome breeds that were brought to China from the empireís northwestern frontiers as well as from sites as far west as the Aral Sea. Carefully twisted strands of clay realistically depict the fur-like texture of the animalís saddle blanket. The womanís full proportionsóevident in the folds of her flowing, wide-sleeved robe, as well as in her plump cheeks and double chinóare enhanced by her loosely gathered coiffure, which is topped with a dangling forehead bun. Her weight, costume, and hairstyle reflect early-to-mid-eighth-century ideals of feminine beauty. Stylistically, th

Children with shellfish and vegetables ca. 1756 Attributed to Robert Joseph Auguste French One of a pair with 1993.334.1, Children with Dead Game. The groups are models for the covers of silver tureens made by Auguste in 1756-57, acquired in 1769 by Christian VI of Denmark and remaining today in the Danish Royal Collection. This group was intended for a round tureen, a pot à oille. Auguste, who received his mastership as a Parisian silversmith in 1757 and became one of the principal silversmiths to the French court, is seen here in the roles of sculptor as well as silversmith. These detailed, deftly modeled terracottas offer rare insights into the working process of eighteenth-century silversmiths; although drawings often survive, their preliminary sketch-models tend not to..

The funnel-shaped elements could function as vases, but they are more likely supports for vessels such as pointed amphorae, which could not stand alone. They are unique in Etruscan art for their combination of funnel-like supports with figural, three-dimensional sculptures.
