Venus Reclining in a Landscape, c. 1508-9. Giulio Campagnola (Italian, 1482-1515). Engraving; platemark: 11.9 x 18.3 cm (4 11/16 x 7 3/16 in.); sheet: 11.9 x 18.3 cm (4 11/16 x 7 3/16 in.). The Venetian artist Giulio Campagnola introduced the "dot manner," an engraving technique by which shading is created with dots and flicks produced with the point of the burin. This innovation allowed for a much greater range of tone and subtler gradations from dark to light. The effect imitated sfumato, a painting technique for creating soft atmospheric effects practiced by Venetian artists, such as Giorgione, at the time. The influence of and perhaps even the engravers collaboration with Giorgione is reflected in the extraordinary beauty and refinement of this rare early impression of Venus Reclining in a Landscape. The female nude reclining in a landscape was to become a distinctly Venetian subject in the 1500s.

Indians Lamenting the Approach of the White Man (from McGuire Scrapbook). Artist: Frederick Stiles Agate (American, Sparta, New York 1803-1844 Sparta, New York). Dimensions: 8 7/8 x 8 1/16 in. (22.5 x 20.5 cm).The son of English immigrants, Agate was a student of Samuel F. B. Morse and a founding member of the National Academy of Design. In this drawing, one of only a few by the artist that survives, four Indians cluster together in attitudes of despair and resignation. Agate studied and worked in Italy in the mid-1830s, and the influence of classical sculpture is evident in the poses and draperies as well as the pyramidal composition. This drawing may have been a study for a painting. It shares a dramatic sensibility with Agate's other works of the 1830s, including "Jesuit Missionaries among the Indians" and a scene from Dante's Inferno titled "Count Ugolino" (both whereabouts unknown). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

The Sensitive Plant 1808 Maria Edgar Maria Edgars watercolor, her only known work, has been categorized as a mourning picture by at least one scholar. It includes some of the common features of such scenes, for example, the urn and the garden setting. Yet there is no sorrow or loss indicated in the composition. A symbol of modern womanhood, she stoops amid thriving roses and plants--foxgloves or figwort--and turns her attention to a potted mimosa, which is also called “the sensitive plant” for the way the leaves respond to stimulus. It seems likely that Edgars painting is not about death or grief, but about life and the nurturing power of the female touch.. The Sensitive Plant 10838
