Entrance to the Grotto of Posillipo, Naples. Artist: John "Warwick" Smith (British, Irthington, Cumberland 1749-1831 London). Dimensions: Sheet: 9 in. × 13 1/16 in. (22.9 × 33.2 cm). Date: 1778-9.This Roman tunnel cut through the rock near Naples provides access to coastal towns to the west and was a favorite subject for artists. Smith lived in Italy between 1776 and 1781, supported by George Greville, 2nd earl of Warwick, and worked closely with fellow Britons William Pars, Thomas Jones and Francis Towne to develop the expressive potential of watercolor. Of the group, Smith enjoyed the highest reputation as a colorist and here applied warm washes to delineate steep stone cliffs bordering the approach to the so-called Grotto, and deeper tones to describe indentations left by quarriers. He also describes a memorial plaque in the left foreground. A more developed version of the scene, formerly owned by the noted collector Paul Oppé, was engraved and published in Smith's "Select Views in

Landscape, 1892. Ren Yu (Chinese, 1853-1901). Hanging scroll, color on paper; overall: 149.8 x 40.7 cm (59 x 16 in.). This seasonal landscape is from a set of four hanging scrolls by Ren Yu. He was the youngest, most eccentric, and least prolific of the Four Rens, a family of prominent painters in Shanghai during the late Qing dynasty (1644-1911). Perhaps due to his opium habit and subsequent financial difficulties, Ren Yu tended to be lackadaisical in his work. The few remaining high-quality paintings hint at his artistic potential lost to opium. Though Rens premature death left his artistic promise unfulfilled, his paintings were acquired and donated to the museum by Charles Lang Freer (1854-1919), a wealthy businessman and art collector from Detroit. As Freer had hoped, this donation of Ren Yu paintings inspired the young Cleveland Museum of Art to continue to expand its own Chinese painting collection.

Bust of Abraham Lincoln Augustus Saint-Gaudens (American, born Ireland, 1848-1907). Bust of Abraham Lincoln, 1922. Bronze, 28 x 17 x 14 in. (71.1 x 43.2 x 35.6 cm). This portrait bust of President Abraham Lincoln was derived from the full-length standing portrait completed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens in 1887 for Chicagos Lincoln Park. Saint-Gaudens based Lincolns likeness on plaster life casts of the presidents head. The sculptor was inspired by Lincolns landmark 1860 speech at Cooper Union in New York, in which the future president declared that the founders would have opposed the expansion of slavery into new American territories. In this speech Lincoln also made famous the phrase “Let us have faith that right makes might.” American Art 1922
