Tattooing…a dead art?

Tattoo artist Cap Coleman in front of his East Main Street store. Taken by Museum photographer William Radcliffe, July 1936. (Accession# P873)

你们中的许多人可能意识到，博物馆拥有一系列精彩的材料，曾经是世界著名的诺福克纹身师伯纳德·科尔曼（August Bernard Coleman），被称为Cap Coleman。我们的Coleman材料是我们最受欢迎和经常要求的私人观看和向其他机构贷款的收藏之一。目前，“纹身人”的小雕像目前正在马萨诸塞州塞勒姆的皮博迪·埃塞克斯博物馆（Peabody Essex Museum）展出，并在一场有关时尚和设计的展览中展出。

几周前，皮博迪·埃塞克斯（Peabody Essex）的一位朋友将我与波士顿美术博物馆的美国装饰艺术和雕塑高级策展人Nonie Gadsden联系在一起。Nonie was in the process of coordinating the acquisition of an object for their collection [Since the MFA hasn’t formally announced it yet I won’t spoil their surprise by telling you what it is!] and had some questions about our Coleman collection and how we acquired it. Answering those questions revealed a rather surprising motivation behind the Museum’s decision to acquire the materials.阅读更多

侦探和现代人

This image from Johann Gottfriedt’s 1655 publication ‘Newe Welt Und Americanische Historien’ was originally identified as the burning and looting of Cuba. Recent research has changed the attribution of the scene to the pillaging and burning of the town of Allegona (Las Palmas) and the fortifications of the island of Gran Canaria by the Dutch in July of 1599. (Accession# 1945.236.01/LE 2361)

尽管2020年的大流行对博物馆来说并不是一件好事，但有些博物馆专业人士因被困在家里而获得了巨大的回报。这些幸运的人是谁？策展人，档案管理员和收藏人员负责对物体进行分类，因为最后，有足够的时间可以查看，扩展或纠正其收藏中对象和图像的分类。

编目是研究和记录有关对象的详细信息的过程。当对象最初进入博物馆的收藏时，这一过程就完成了，但是在水手们，很明显，策展人和收藏人员并不总是花费所需的时间来充分准确地研究他们正在分类的对象。结果是误解，错误归因于对象的名称或标题以外的完全缺乏信息！阅读更多

Jack Aubrey has nothing on these guys

May 27, 2020September 17, 2020

水彩名为“操纵du Sans-Pareil倒auver deux prises faits devant Vigo’ by Nicholas Marie Ozanne, ca 1750-1774. (Accession# 1945.02.242/Q 171)

In recent months, I’ve learned two amazing tales of deception and daring that thrilled me to no end. Although the events occurred almost two centuries apart (the first in the late 17th century and the second during the American Civil War) the men involved were that rare breed of human male that inspires fictional characters like Jack Aubrey, Horatio Hornblower or my all time favorite Lord Nicholas Ramage (I actually had to remind myself to BREATHE while reading this series!). Since we could all use some excitement in our new stay-at-home-where-nothing-interesting-ever-occurs lives, I thought I would pass them along.

I stumbled across the first story while working on our watercolor rehousing project. The image is a small india wash drawing by Nicolas Marie Ozanne titled动作du sans-pareil pol pour sauver deux prestings guats davant vigo[机动sans-pareil保存在Vigo之前获得的两个奖品]。这部艺术品由珍妮·弗朗西斯·奥赞（Jeanne Francoise Ozanne）雕刻，并由伊夫·玛丽·勒·古兹（Yves Marie Le Gouaz）出版，以“ Recueil des bokes des de duguay-trouin”出版，这是我在图像背后学到故事的地方。阅读更多

*‘Dutch whaling in the arctic.’ Circa 1706 Penschilderij by Adriaen Cornelisz [Van der] Salm (Accession# QO 31)*

Penschilderij. For those of you who read my recent blog post on the wash drawing by the Willem Van de Veldes (https://blog.www.boxorats.com/2020/04/wanted-one-fae-who-who-knows-dutch/) you might remember my mention of the elder’s specialized art form of ‘penschilderij’ or ‘pen painting.’ While it’s not by Van de Velde we are lucky enough to have a beautiful little pen painting by AdriaenCornelisz萨尔姆（他还在藏品中遇到了范·萨尔姆（Van Salm）和范德·萨尔姆（Van der Salm））。

The medium of penschilderij was developed in the late 16th or early 17th century. It was born from the efforts of Dutch engraver, publisher and artist Hendrick Goltzius who began drawing with a pen on paper or vellum in order to simulate the characteristics of an engraving. By the early 17th century Goltzius included drawing on a canvas primed with paint–the forerunner of the pen painting–in his oeuvre. In his time Goltzius was quite famous so Van de Velde was probably familiar with his artwork and prints. However, Goltzius only produced three pen paintings during his life so it seems unlikely that Van de Velde was familiar with the medium Goltzius was employing. Consequently, experts like Rijksmuseum curator Friso Lammertse credit Van de Velde as the “true founding father” of the penschilderij.阅读更多
