Master K.I.P.

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The scene, illustrating an episode in the Old Testament book of Genesis (8:20), was based on an Italian engraving by Marco Dente (d. 1527), taken in turn from a fresco in the Vatican Loggia, which was completed before 1519 by one of the painters in Raphael’s workshop.

European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

An exhibit at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The fifty thousand objects in the Museum's comprehensive and historically important collection of European sculpture and decorative arts reflect the development of a number of art forms in Western European countries from the early fifteenth through the early twentieth century. The holdings include sculpture in many sizes and media, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, metalwork and jewelry, horological and mathematical instruments, and tapestries and textiles. Ceramics made in Asia for export to European markets and sculpture and decorative arts produced in Latin America during this period are also included among these works.
