Painting
This Genesis story is a common subject in Western painting, depicting the biblical figure of Jacob wrestling with an angel and receiving a blessing. Like Jacob, Maxim Kopf struggled mightily in his life and then was blessed, having spent two and a half years in internment camps in Europe before coming to the United States in 1941.
In 1947, MAG director Gertrude Herdle negotiated to purchase this painting, thinking “it one of the most important contemporary American paintings which we could add to our collection at this time.” Sixty-five years later, Kopf is no longer regarded as a major contemporary artist. However, as tastes change over time, a painting that was held in high esteem by one director may be well-regarded by another in the future. For that reason, museums approach the process of deaccessioning with great care.

Sculpture
Although acquired by the museum six years apart, these two sculptures [this piece and 43.35] once belonged to the same monumental architectural group on the exterior of a church. They represent an apostle and an angel, both of whom gaze upward. They were probably part of a larger program focusing on the Ascension of Christ, which would have shown the central figure of Christ flanked at either side by witnesses to the sacred event.

Sculpture
This marble coffin, or sarcophagus, once featured a matching marble lid. The central round frame holds a portrait of the deceased, likely a later personalization carved by the sculpture workshop at the time of purchase. Roman sarcophagi were not buried, but displayed with other markers and monuments along the main roads outside the city gates.

Textiles
A chasuble is the outer garment worn by a priest or bishop when celebrating the Mass, the core sacred ritual of the Roman Catholic faith. The embroidered bands down the front and back, called orphreys, depict events from the life of the Virgin Mary.
Clues to the origin and date of the chasuble emerge from both the medium and the design of the orphreys. While the gold thread and velvet suggest a Spanish origin, the designs themselves have been attributed to the famous Flemish artist Jan Gossaert. The designs may have been commissioned by a Spanish patron. Such an alliance is well imaginable, as during the 1520s both Spain and the Netherlands were ruled by the Hapsburg family; trade, both artistic or mercantile, flourished between the two territories.
