The Game of Leap Frog, 1785. Jean Guillaume Moitte (French, 1746-1810), Antoine-François Gérard (French, 1760-1843). Wax on slate; framed: 30 x 53.5 x 4 cm (11 13/16 x 21 1/16 x 1 9/16 in.); overall: 40.7 cm (16 in.). This decorative frieze follows the design of Moitte, an artist known for reliefs, especially in the beginning stages of his career. Some of Moitte's favorite subjects in this period were Bacchic scenes of antiquity. These images of revelry and sensuousness are based on classical narratives; however, there is no evidence that the ancients played games of leapfrog, and so the subject is Moitte's invention, with a contemporary game of leapfrog performed by the mythical cohorts of Bacchus. The design of the drapery is typical of Moitte, especially the keenly animated dress. Moitte's early technique emulated painting in bas-relief. The sculptor, Gérard, follows Moitte's design, using the unusual mediums of slate and wax. His technique is not entirely understood, however, it i

Lamentation of Christ, 1490s, Hans Schnatterpeck, Austrian, active 1472-c. 1510, 23 1/8 x 42 1/4 x 9 1/2 in. (58.74 x 107.32 x 24.13 cm) (approx.), Pine, polychromed and gilt, Austria, 15th century, The lifeless body of Jesus Christ, taken off the cross after his crucifixion, rests in his mother Marys lap. John the Evangelist holds his head. Mary Magdalene, with an ointment jar, looks at his feet—according to the Gospel of Saint John, she had once anointed Jesuss feet with expensive perfume. The angular folds and gestures in this painting, as well as the bold colors, are typical of late Gothic wood sculpture and greatly influenced the Expressionist artists of the early 20th century. This sculpture is remarkable for its large amount of original coloring.
