The theme I decided to go with in this exhibition is working men. I chose this theme because when you see any sculpture or painting you right away think it’s just an artifacts, but what most people don’t see is that there is meaning, time, and effort that come into play. You never really understand how much time and effort is put into each carving, and brush stroke. The exhibition will you how many meaningful artifacts hold value.

Pietre Dure top attributed to Giovanni Mynardo, "The Farnese Table", Marble of different colors, semiprecious stones, Egyptian alabaster, residue of paint of different colors on the piers, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 58.57a–d

This was one of the most beautiful tables made by Giacomo da Vignola. It is a beautifully carved out table that had a lot of work put into it. This relates to my theme because of the dedication and time that was put into this work.

Walters, “Eagle-shaped fibulae”, Gold, bronze, gemstones, colored glass, The Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore, Maryland, 34.1

The eagle was a very popular symbol during the migration period. This was one of the finest pairs containing multicolored gemstones and gold. This connects to my theme because every artifact has it’s worth and dedication towards it.

Fletcher Fund, 1947, “Vase” , 'Champlevé enamel, copper alloy, Made in La Guierce, Charente, France, Metropolitan Museum of art,  47.100.5

This vase contained many treasures in it, it contained Roman coins, and other vessels. The vibrant colors on this case really caught my attention because they are not typical colors used. This connects to my theme because of how precise each row is and how it is perfectly made.

The chalice shows how there were large numbers of Christian’s around attarouthi prior to the rise of Islam. It has Greek inscriptions on it as well as saint holding a gospel book. The carvings show how much they put effort into making their art work look beautiful. The way they add detail from the top of the chalice to the very bottom.

The pitcher has many vibrant colors on it that were designed in a specific order and layout. This shows how tools became art. This connects to the theme because you’d think it’s just a drinking pitcher when it’s a work of art.
