Philip IV (1605-1665) in Parade Armor. Artist: Gaspar de Crayer (Flemish, 1584-1669). Dimensions: 72 x 46 1/2 in. (182.9 x 118.1 cm). Date: ca. 1628.Gaspar de Crayer painted several portraits of Philip IV, probably commissioned by the Marqués de Leganés, who served as Philip's emissary to the Spanish court in Brussels in 1627-28. Here the young king of Spain is presented in a magnificently decorated Flemish cavalry armor. He holds a commander's baton in his right hand and wears an ornate rapier on his left hip. The composition follows a pattern in Spanish portraiture of depicting kings in fine armor, which was established decades earlier by Titian, for example in his portraits of Emperor Charles V and King Philip II.

Portrait of Giovanni de Medici, called Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, c. 1565, Attributed to Carlo Portelli, Italian (Tuscany), Italian (Tuscany), c. 1510-1574, 53 5/8 x 41 3/8 in. (136.21 x 105.09 cm) (panel), Oil on panel, Italy, 16th century, Giovanni dalle Bande Nere (1498-1526), a celebrated condottiere of the papal mercenary forces, fought the invasion of the Italian peninsula by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Giovanni died the year before Charless troops sacked Rome, in a battle outside Mantua. His remains were recently exhumed as part of an archaeological survey of the Medici family tombs. The study described the 28-year-old as 'a vigorous man, with an athletic body, medium-sized skull, narrow nose…great physical strength and robusticity.' The muscles in his shoulders, legs, and feet confirmed he 'was a highly skilled horseman,' while the wear and tear in his hips and back indicated he 'had carried heavy loads since adolescence due to horse-riding and body armor.' Among many i

Oriental carpets more than two centuries old have rarely survived and are rarely represented in Islamic Art since Sunni Islam (and to a lesser extent Shia) eschews representational art in favour of precisely the repetetive geometric symbols and arabesques found, for example, in oriental carpets. This means that most examples of 17th century and earlier oriental carpets, mainly produced in Muslim lands, are only to be found in paintings from Christian lands where rich oriental carpets were associated with wealth, power and taste. Such carpets featured as an important decorative feature in paintings from the 14th century onwards, leading to the dichotomy that there are more depictions of oriental carpets produced before the 17th century in European paintings than there are actual oriental carpets surviving from the same period. Because of this European paintings have proved an invaluable source of reference for the study of the history of carpetmaking and carpets.

Boy with a Sword. Artist: Édouard Manet (French, Paris 1832-1883 Paris). Dimensions: 51 5/8 x 36 3/4 in. (131.1 x 93.4 cm). Date: 1861.Manet's stepson, Léon Koëlla-Leenhoff, recalled that he had posed for this picture in 1861, when he was about ten years old. Manet dressed him in a seventeenth-century costume, adding a period sword as a prop--a tribute to the great Spanish painters he admired, notably Velázquez. Critics reviewed the work favorably on the five occasions that Manet exhibited it between 1862 and 1872. In 1889, the New York collector Erwin Davis donated <i>Boy with a Sword and Young Lady in 1866</i> (89.21.3) to the Metropolitan; they were the first works by Manet to enter a museum collection.
