Boreas and Orithyia from a set of scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Culture: French, Beauvais. Designer: René Antoine Houasse (French, Paris 1645-1710 Paris). Dimensions: H. 140 x W. 179 inches (355.6 x 454.7 cm), as measured by Textile Conservation in 1984. Manufactory: Beauvais. Date: designed ca. 1690, woven before 1730.Maidens gathering flowers are plunged into disarray as, drapery billowing, winged Boreas, god of the North Wind, wraps Orithyia, a mortal princess of Athens, in his burly arms. Frustrated by her father's refusal to approve his marriage request, Boreas carries her off regardless, in a sharp diagonal thrust out of the picture plane, towards his home in Thrace. This tapestry was made as part of a popular series, eventually numbering eight or nine episodes, illustrating scenes from the Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses, a lengthy, magical poem loosely narrating a Classical history of the world.

View of Tangier from the Seashore, 1856-1858, Eugène Delacroix, French, 1798-1863, 31 5/16 x 39 5/16 in. (79.53 x 99.85 cm) (canvas)40 1/4 x 47 1/4 x 4 in. (102.24 x 120.02 x 10.16 cm) (outer frame), Oil on canvas, France, 19th century, Delacroix was one of the most influential artists in history. His painting style was ahead of his time, shocking or disgusting most artists of the French Academy, the authority on visual art in the 1700s and 1800s. He was not interested in creating an exact replica of what he saw, rather he sought to express feelings though his art. His loose brushwork and use of color evoke emotions inspired the French Impressionists and many other artists. He created this work many years after visiting Africa, and the passing of time allowed his memories and impressions to influence the painting more than the reality of his observations.
