Combining the history of ideas, institutions, and architecture, this study shows how the museum both reflected and shaped the place of art in German culture from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. On a broader level, it illuminates the origin and character of the museum's central role in modern culture.James Sheehan begins by describing the establishment of the first public galleries during the last decades of Germany's old regime. He then examines the revolutionary upheaval that swept Germany between 1789 and 1815, arguing that the first great German museums reflected the nation's revolutionary aspirations. By the mid-nineteenth century, the climate had changed; museums constructed in this period affirmed historical continuities and celebrated political accomplishments. During the next several years, however, Germans became disillusioned with conventional definitions of art and lost interest in monumental museums. By the turn of the century, the museum had become a site for the political and cultural controversies caused by the rise of artistic modernism. In this context, Sheehan argues, we can see the first signs of what would become the modern style of museum architecture and modes of display.The first study of its kind, this highly accessible book will appeal to historians, museum professionals, and anyone interested in the relationship between art, politics, and culture.

Art jewelry inspired by The Met collection. This rich blue lapis-and-enamel bracelet is inspired by a spectacular Spanish baldric (first half 17th century), a type of crossbody belt or chain often worn to support a sword. Much of the scholarship around jewelry fashions throughout history is informed by portraits in which the sitters wear a certain style of adornment. An enameled example very much like the one displayed in The Met's Vélez Blanco Patio, dedicated to the decorative arts of Spain between 1450 and 1700, is worn diagonally across the chest in an early 17th-century portrait of a young man.

Unique art jewelry inspired by The Met. A German or French pendant (ca. 1870-95) in the form of a marvelous mermaid is transformed into an eye-catching brooch. Our adornment adapts the baroque pearl torso on the original, now in The Met collection, with a cultured freshwater pearl, likewise embellished with colorful enamel and sparkling accents. Her tiara and long, wispy tail are among the attributes also present in two unpublished designs for a mermaid jewel by the German goldsmith Reinhold Vasters (German, 1827-1909), now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The variation in quality and variety of objects made according to Vasters's designs indicate that his visions were likely realized by a fleet of different artisans.

Elegant Pearl Jewelry, Art-Inspired Necklace Our elegant necklace, adorned with cultured freshwater pearls, recalls the lustrous pearl jewelry depicted in European paintings in The Met collection. These masterworks include Judith with the Head of Holofernes, ca. 1530, by Lucas Cranach the Elder (German, 1472-1553); Portrait of a Young Woman with a Fan, 1633, by Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669); and many others. Beginning in the 16th century, expanding global trade routes made pearls an affordable luxury for many. The elite of Renaissance Europe lavishly draped themselves with pearls as symbols of status, taste, and wealth.

An art scarf inspired by The Met collection. The fruiting, flowering vines embroidered on this charming shawl recall the 18th-century embroidery embellishing a bedcover housed in The Met's American Wing. Original embroidered textiles from this period in American history are rare; most extant examples are preserved in museums, and many others were repurposed to salvage the artisan's work. The vines on the Museum's bedcover were likely transferred from a set of bed curtains, perhaps during the 19th-century Colonial Revival movement. The bedcover appears to be an heirloom of the Cabot family, who resided in Salem, Massachusetts, at the time the embroidery was made around 1760. Click

Stunning jewelry is the ideal gift for her. This shimmering mother-of-pearl necklace pays tribute to a double beaker crafted around 1593/94-1602 by the consummate goldsmith Georg Rühl (German, master 1598, died 1625), who was duly celebrated for the way he so artfully mounted exotic materials with gilded silver. The vessel in The Met collection that inspired this suite boasts mother-of-pearl stripes likely taken from an object made in Gujarat, India.

An art ornament set inspired by The Met collection. Our golden star and silvery snowflake ornaments celebrate two spectacular shields in The Met's Arms and Armor collection. Our 2024 star honors a spectacular German shield belonging to a small 16th-century garniture (a suit with modifiable elements) forged for the Elizabethan courtier Sir John Smythe (1534-1607). The original shield is stamped with a mark consisting of the letter "A" within a pearled circle on the interior. The exterior is wonderfully etched and gilded, with cartouches featuring allegorical figures of Fortune, Justice, and Fortitude. This year's snowflake adapts the magnificent detailing on an Indian shield, or dhál. Forged in the 19th century, the shield boasts an extraordinary example of the koftgari technique, also known as "false" or "counterfeit" damascening-a term alluding to the Syrian capital of Damascus and the apparent Eastern origins of this technique. While "true" damascening is a complex inlaying process requiring careful undercutting and hammering, the Museum's shield boasts impressive decoration achieved with greater ease: eye-catching designs in gold and silver foil or wire cover a crosshatched steel base. Our Angel Tree Ornament depicts an elegant late 18th-early 19th-century angel from The Met's celebrated Christmas Tree and Neapolitan Baroque Crèche. This popular Museum installation features an 18th-century Neapolitan Nativity scene at the base of the tree, with a host of exquisitely carved and dressed angels soaring in the branches above the Holy Family. The decoration and illumination of this majestic tree is a cherished annual event of the holiday season. This limited-edition ornament trio was produced exclusively for the 2024 holiday season.
