THE PRESENTATION OF THE CAPTAIN GENERAL'S BATON TO ANTONIO MONCADA BY THE QUEEN REGENT....1410, 1664 CREATORS: DAVID TENIERS II, JAN VAN KESSEL.

The Presentation of the Captain General's Baton to Antonio Moncada by the Queen Regent Blanca of Sicily in 1410, 1664. As in the previous scene, the events take place in an interior, but here the solemn event is witnessed by a large group of prelates and other dignitaries gathered before the queen’s throne. In this case Van Kessel decorated his border with putti and numerous objects and instruments relating to war, including coats-of-arms, lances, swords, arrows and standards, as well as various military musical instruments such as drums and trumpets. Van Kessel framed the scenes at the sides with pilasters and two busts symbolising Justice and Liberalitas Regis.

The Submission of the Sicilian Rebels to Antonio Moncada in 1411, 1663. Antonio de Moncada, having defeated the rebels, represented by two kneeling men in the foreground, receives the keys of the city held by a young boy on a tray. Wearing ceremonial armour and holding the baton of captain-general in his hand, Antonio de Moncada accepts the gift, standing under an ornate blue canopy. Teniers completes the scene with other figures wearing decorative armour. The border by Van Kessel has six small putti playing or holding objects such as a glass of wine, flowers, crowns or swinging from large ribbons. The musical instruments, pieces of armour, flowers and two concerts of exotic birds at the top provide a brilliant framework for the historical episode.

CARDINAL ALBRECHT OF BRANDENBURG (THE LARGE CARDINAL), 1523. CREATOR: ALBRECHT DURER.

Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg (The large cardinal), 1523. Cardinal Albrecht (Albert) of Brandenburg (1490-1545) was Elector and Archbishop of Mainz from 1514 to 1545, and Archishop of Magdeburg from 1513 to 1545. His sale of indulgences (Church pardons for sins) to repay loans to the Fugger banking family, and to sustain his lavish lifestyle, infuriated Martin Luther and provoked him to write his 95 Theses which led to the Reformation.

BASKET, C1700. CREATOR: GEORGE LEWIS.

Basket, c1700. An earl's coronet sits above the coat of arms in the center of this octagonal silver basket. The borders are extensively pierced and much of the fine patterning has been hammered into relief from the back of the silver—a technique known as repoussé. The basket was probably not intended to be used; it is more likely to have been placed on display where its elaborate decoration would attract admiration and compliments. Basket, c1700.

Map of Baikal, a Sea, a Lake, or an Angara Gap, Located in the Irkutsk Province with All the Neighboring [Territory], Whose Mathematical Measurements were Completed and it Became Fully Known in 1806, 1814. Lake Baikal and the region around it were extensively explored by Russian expeditions in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This map shows in great detail the shoreline of the lake and the network of rivers flowing into and out of Baikal. The title of the map is shown in a cartouche. Below the title is a single-headed eagle, holding in its talons the coat of arms of Irkutsk Province. The illustration at the lower left is a view of Nikolaevsk Pier, located at the point where the Angara River flows from the lake. The enlarged map in the lower right-hand corner depicts Ambassador's Harbor or "Prorva." The numbers indicate soundings of depth in feet. The map uses perspective to show hills and mountains. Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world. Its volume of water is approximately equal to the total volume of the Great Lakes of North America, or to about 20 per cent of all freshwater on the earth.

Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints and Donor, 1507. Creator: Workshop of Vittore Carpaccio. Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints and Donor, 1507. This painting depicts the Madonna and Child on a patterned marble throne between Saints John the Baptist at the left and Jerome at the right. The donors (the individuals who commissioned the work) are shown bust-length and in prayer on a slightly lower plane that keeps them at a distance from the holy figures and closer to the secular world. Their specific identifies are now unknown but they were presumably husband and wife, since their respective families’ coats of arms are shown “impaled,” or combined, on a single shield between them. The man’s coat of arms belong the Pisani family and the woman’s to the Besagio. Both families were influential in 16th-century Venetian society, and the marriage between them documented by Carpaccio’s painting probably occurred in 1507, the date inscribed in Roman numerals on the step below the Madonna’s throne.
