Painting
This painting shows a young child draped in a floral shawl and holding a wicker basket filled with ripe cherries. His attentive gaze, directed straight at the viewer, adds to the sense of immediacy conveyed by the portrait.
Jan de Bray trained as a painter with his father Salomon, a distinguished artist, architect, and urban planner in Haarlem (The Netherlands). More than half of his work consists of individual portraits.

Painting
In Fouesnant, a bay in Brittany, Bouguereau found the source material that would fuel his work for years to come. Academic artists viewed scenes of peasants performing their usual daily chores as a modern-day counterpart to the rustic figures of antiquity so beloved in historical paintings. Despite their circumstances, peasants in Academic paintings were usually depicted as clean, well-fed and neatly dressed. Here a girl carrying laundry resembles a caryatid, a classical figure used to support an architectural pediment.

Sculpture
According to Christian legend, Saint Barbara was the beautiful daughter of a wealthy pagan named Dioscorus, who lived in Nicodemia (present-day Turkey) during the 3rd century. Fearful of losing Barbara to the outside world, her father kept her locked in a tower. She secretly converted to Christianity; when she told Dioscorus of her new-found faith, he reported her to the authorities. She was sentenced to torture and beheading—a decree carried out by her father himself.
In Christian art, Barbara is usually shown holding the tower in which she was imprisoned and a book, which represents the teachings that led to her conversion. Here, she also wears fine clothing that represents her wealth. A purse hangs from her belt, and she wears a golden crown.
This sculpture originally formed part of a larger late medieval altarpiece that included other solitary or grouped figures. Although beautifully carved, the last 500 years have taken their toll on both her appearance and structure. Old repairs have broken off or splintered, and both original and later paint and gilding are flaking, making her too unstable for continuous display. MAG staff is working to identify funds for her treatment so that she can be returned to permanent exhibition in the medieval galleries.

The son-in-law of Jan Brueghel and a friend of Peter Paul Rubens, Teniers achieved success in Antwerp and then moved to Brussels, where he served as court painter to the archduke Leopold Wilhelm and later to Don Juan of Austria. Tavern Scene is one of numerous genre paintings in which rustics carouse, uninhibited by notions of propriety or temperance. Such subjects frequently served a moralizing purpose, indicated here by the drawing tacked to the wall above the laughing drunkard. The bird flanked by eyeglasses and candlestick may illustrate the proverb, “What use candle and spectacles if the owl cannot and will not see?”

Pancake vendors, much like outdoor food vendors today, were a common sight on Dutch streets during the 1600s. Originally a delicacy prepared on the festival day of Shrove Tuesday, the last day of Carnival and the day before the beginning of Lent, pancakes were associated with feasting and wild behavior. Images of pancake makers were initially moralistic in nature, symbolizing gluttony and lust. By the 17th century, pancakes were eaten every day and the theme lost some of its allegorical significance. The scene retained its popularity among painters and printmakers of “low-life” genre scenes, or scenes of everyday peasant and street life.
[Gallery label text]
Steen was a prolific artist who specialized in low-life genre scenes, such as the popular subject of the pancake maker. A delicacy prepared especially on Vastenavond, or Shrove Tuesday, which was the last day of Carnival, the pancake had become associated with feasting and riotous behavior. It was therefore identified with overindulgence and became a symbol of gluttony or lust. During the seventeenth century, however, pancakes began to be enjoyed at any time, which reduced the allegorical potency of the theme.

Sculpture
Falconet, a leading sculptor of the reign of Louis XV, was a director of the royal ceramic works at Sèvres. His main production was the biscuit statuette, which substitutes "soft paste" for the kaolin clay of "true" porcelain. Falconet took advantage of the milky, marble-like surface to create engaging figural groups of pure form and refined rococo detail.
"The Teaching of Love" may be derived from a composition by François Boucher. Falconet has transformed the painter's design into a complex three-dimensional ensemble of delicate beauty that invites the viewer to enjoy it from multiple angles.

Painting
This painting has all the elements of the Christian medieval tradition of an allegory of vanity, or the personification of all the temptations and vain pleasures of the world. The painter drew on a wide vocabulary of images to suggest the transience of the material world. In this painting, dressed in fine clothes and bedecked in jewels, the woman seems to be turning away from the mirror, the symbol of vanity. In reality, though, out of the corner of her eye she gazes approvingly at her own reflection. The mirror also represents the idea of false appearances; her jewels symbolize the dangerous allure of wealth. Fresh flowers, beautiful for only a few days, suggest the fleeting nature of beauty; the book on her table refers to earthly rather than spiritual knowledge.
