Violin Player. Adriaen van Ostade (Dutch, 1610 - 1685) about 1653 Using strokes of black chalk, Adriaen van Ostade portrayed a musician wearing a large cloak, loose pants, and sagging hat, with his back to the viewer. The performer rests his violin on his right shoulder while his left hand controls the bow. Van Ostade first lightly sketched the figure and then reinforced the design with darker, thicker strokes of chalk to clarify details around the cloak, head, and feet. Completed as a study for an etching, the artist accounted for the mirroring of the figure in the final print by reversing the violinist's hold on his instrument, which is typically positioned on the left shoulder.

St. Louis in Glory ca. 1640-41 Simon Vouet French After a trip to Venice from 1612 to 1614 where he discovered the color of Veronese and Titian, Simon Vouet spent the following fourteen years in Rome where he absorbed the lessons of Caravaggio and Annibale Carracci. To the latter he certainly owed his taste for the study of human figure. After fulfilling prestigious commissions for a number of Roman churches, Vouet was called back to Paris by Louis XIII in 1627 and was named First Painter to the king. By the late 1630s, at the height of his career, Vouet was inundated with commissions, ranging from altarpieces and décors for Parisian churches to paintings and tapestry cartoons for royal residences and private mansions. While many of these décors have disappeared, the two he painted for the immense altarpiece of the Jesuits church Saint-Louis in Paris (known today as Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis) have survived. This draped figure is a study for the Apotheosis of Saint Louis (preserved in the

Astrology, plate 29 from Arts and Sciences 1460-1470 Italy. The deck of fifty so-called Tarocchi are not tarots in the modern, fortune-telling sense, nor were they intended as playing cards. No cut-out impressions mounted for play are known, and they lack the suits and numbers of a regular deck. Instead, these delicately engraved didactic allegories are grouped in five numbered ranks describing the workings of the spheres of man, the muses, the liberal arts, the cosmos, and the heavens in order of increasing significance, and offer a didactic sequence to educate courtly youths or possibly university students, who could have used them as flashcards or a pamphlet..
