Autumn

Pieter van der Heyden after Hans Bol

1570 · engraving on laid paper

Open full record

Nine men and women and three pudgy, toddler-aged children gather in small groups under a copse of trees against a deep landscape in this horizontal painting. Most of the people have pale, nearly white skin and a few have darker, peach-toned skin. They all have rosy cheeks, and most have strawberry or honey blond hair. The men and women wear loose robes in shades of topaz and ice blue, vibrant peach, pale pink, or harvest yellow, and the children appear to be nude. Light pours across the scene from the left. Two women sit in the lower left corner of the composition, mostly in shadow presumably created by trees outside our view. One leans toward us holding a tray of fruit with her dress nearly exposing her round breasts. A woman sitting closer to us holds up a fig as a child reaches for the fruit. Closer to us, a muscular man sits on the ground next to an urn the size of a backpack. One child next to the urn sits almost with their back as he holds up a cup, and a gold-colored horn hangs from a ribbon across the torso. Another child other leans forward closer to the man, a bunch of grapes held in both hands. A pile of grape vines with grapes and orange-colored fruit sits between the man and first child. Behind this trio, one woman picks fruit from a leafy tree, which has a grape vine growing around its thick trunk. Another woman sits in the shade of the tree and looks on, a piece of fruit in her hand. The final four people are gathered to the right, where one man supports another who leans limply away from us, one arm slung over his supporter’s shoulders. The partially prone man is bare-chested and wears a crown of grapevine leaves. More leaves are around his waist under a vivid, coral-red cloth, and his feet rest on a pile of figs, fruit, and grapes. A third man in this trio is the only one with a beard. He wears a cheetah animal skin and presses grapes in both hands to fill the cup held by the prone man. A woman stands between the pair, holding more grapes and looking off into the distance. Trees and bushes grow across the left half of the composition, and a distant landscape on the right half opens onto rolling hills and hazy mountains. The sky glows peach along the horizon and deepens to twilight blue across the top half of the painting.

Autumn (L'Automne)

Charles-François Daubigny

1848 · etching

Open full record

We look out onto a sweeping, panoramic view with trees, their leaves fiery orange and red, framing a view of a distant body of water under a sun-streaked sky in this long, horizontal landscape painting. The horizon comes about halfway up the composition, and is lined with hazy mountains and clouds in the deep distance. Close examination slowly reveals minuscule birds tucked into the crimson-red, golden yellow, and deep, sage-green leaves of the trees to either side of the painting. Closest to us, vine-covered, fallen tree trunks and mossy gray boulders line the bottom edge of the canvas. Beyond a trickling waterfall and small pool near the lower left corner, and tiny within the scale of the landscape, a group of three men and their dogs sit and recline around a blanket and a picnic basket, their rifles leaning against a tree nearby. The land sweeps down to a grassy meadow crossed by a meandering stream that winds into the distance, at the center of the painting. Touches of white and gray represent a flock of grazing sheep in the meadow. A low wooden bridge spans the stream to our right, and a few cows drink from the riverbank. Smoke rises from chimneys in a town lining the riverbank and shoreline beyond, and tiny white sails and steamboats dot the waterway. Light pours onto the scene with rays like a starburst from behind a lavender-gray cloud covering the sun, low in the sky. The artist signed the painting as if he had inscribed the flat top of a rock at the lower center of the landscape with his name, the title of the painting, and date: “Autumn – on the Hudson River, J.F Cropsey, London 1860.”

The sculpture depicts two figures, likely women, shown in a dynamic, flowing motion. Both figures are adorned in draped garments that appear to be billowing, emphasizing movement. They are carrying what seem to be wreaths or garlands in their hands. The sculpture has a verdigris patina, suggesting it is made of bronze and aged over time. The relief sculpture renders the figures in a three-dimensional manner, making them appear as if they are emerging from the flat background while maintaining detailed intricacies in the hair and clothing.
