Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her. This eye-catching brooch reimagines the crescent moon headpiece atop Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau's iconic profile. Gautreau, perhaps better known today as "Madame X," was admired in Paris for her artful appearance, and John Singer Sargent (American, 1856-1925) hoped to enhance his reputation by painting the stylish socialite's portrait in 1883-84. He emphasized his subject's daring fashion sense by showing the right strap of her gown slipping from her shoulder; however, upon the picture's exhibition at the Salon of 1884, it received more ridicule than praise. Sargent repainted the strap and kept the work for over 30 years. When he eventually sold it to The Met, he commented, "I suppose it is the best thing I have done," but asked the Museum to disguise the sitter's name. We're delighted to present this item in celebration of Sargent and Paris. This Met exhibition explores the early career of the American painter John Singer Sargent, from his arrival in Paris in 1874 through the mid-1880s, when his infamous portrait Madame X was a scandalous success at the Paris Salon. Over the course of one extraordinary decade, Sargent achieved recognition by creating boldly ambitious portraits and figure paintings that pushed the boundaries of conventionality. Beyond the portrait studio, he traveled in search of inspiration for his art-finding subjects in Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and North Africa. This exhibition gathers Sargent's diverse works from this period to illuminate his path to becoming an artist, which was indelibly shaped by his experiences in the French capital. These visually stunning works provide a compelling view of the Paris art world of the late 19th century. Read our blog post

Having withstood attacks by the Mongols in the 13th century followed by the Turks in the 17th century, the castle never returned to its medieval splendor; with the exception of a surviving panel in Vienna, the windows housed at The Cloisters are all that remain of the structure's magnificent glasswork.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Limbourg Brothers: The Belles Heures of Jean de France, duc de Berry Holiday Cards
31.9 USD
Send season's greetings with art holiday cards from The Met. The spectacular image on these artful holiday cards comes from a private devotional book at The Met Cloisters. The Belles Heures, or Beautiful Hours, of Jean de France, duc de Berry, was probably made in Paris between 1405 and 1408 or 1409. Commissioned by Jean de France, duc de Berry, from the illustrious Limbourg brothers (Franco-Netherlandish, active France, by 1399-1416), it's the only manuscript the brothers completed in its entirety, and it's regarded among the most marvelous extant illuminations of its kind. Using a luminous palette, the artists united Italianate details with an intimate Northern vision of nature. Their keen interest in the natural world foreshadowed the work of Jan van Eyck (Netherlandish, ca. 1390-1441) and the subsequent generations of 15th-century regional painters.
