“Depicting a cockerel in determined pursuit of a hen within a heart-shaped frame of vines, this is a humorous and charming love token, perhaps offering an an interpretation of the proverb ‘the cock croweth but the hen delivereth the egg’. Wilhelm Lucas von Cranach (1861-1918) was an artist, interior decorator and highly individual designer of jewellery based in Berlin. His work relates closely to the Art Nouveau style prevalent in Paris and Brussels, and he exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1900. Known for his jewelled serpents and winged creatures, this charming, domestic scene offers a more light-hearted aspect of his work.” “PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Two branches of an enamelled gold vine are arranged into a delicate and approximately heart-shaped frame. Within is a cockerel formed from a pinkish-brown irregular pearl in pursuit of a white hen which is likewise formed around an irregular pearl. The vine branches are adorned with enamelled clusters of grapes, leaves set with demantoid garnets, three tiny rubies at the top, and rose-cut diamonds set into the cut ends. Below hangs an oval pearl drop topped with a tiny diamond. The pin fitting is attached to a discreet gold frame which follows at the back the line of the branches.” (photo via Tadema Gallery)

Lamp in the Shape of a #Rooster
Early Byzantine (Egypt?), 6th-7th c.
Bronze, 11 x 13.5 cm
On display at Dumbarton Oaks
“The rooster is a rare shape and may not have any references beyond its similarity in shape to the peacock & its associations with sunrise - the start of daylight.”
photo of the object & label (transcribed in post) on display at museum “Lamps are among the most widely used & imaginatively conceived works in antiquity. They were made predominantly in terracotta, but many examples in bronze survive because of their durability. Artists drew inspiration from all aspects of ancient culture, from the mythological realm, illustrated by a lamp with a griffin-head handle in the Dumbarton Oaks collection (BZ.1962.15), to the natural world, reflected in this rooster lamp. Identified by its distinctive coxcomb & wattles, the head is tipped forward at an angle that is typical of this barnyard bird. The feathers on the body are chased (i.e. incised after the lamp was cast). A hinged lid on the rooster’s back was used to fill the lamp with oil & the nozzle at the end of the tail feathers is where the wick burned. Although the lamp can stand on its own round foot, it has an interior sheath to fit onto a pricket & to be supported on a lampstand.” (Dumbarton Oaks)

2 pieces from The Trout Gallery’s “Memory and Modernity: Modern Japanese Woodblock Prints of the Natural World” show (2023):
1 Ito Sözan (1884-19??)
Family of Chickens, c.1910s
2 Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849)
Katsushika shinso gafu, Vol. 1, 1890
Ito Sözan (Japanse, b. 1884) Family of Chickens, c. 1910s Woodblock print, ink and color on paper Museum purchase with funds from the Friends of the Trout Gallery 2022.3 Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese. 1760-1849) Album of Original Drawings by Katsushika (Katsushika shinso gafu), vol. 1, 1890 Woodblock-printed book, ink and color on paper Museum purchase with funds from the Friends of the Trout Gallery 2022.13 Though known for his single-sheet landscape designs, Hokusai also created numerous illustrated books. This one, published posthumously in the Meiji period (1868-1912), also contains a table of content in English. It indicates that the book might be intended for display at World Expositions. In the 1880s and 1890s, the japanese government promoted the development of traditional arts in order to create a robust export market with the West. Illustrated books such as this one gave potential Western consumers a variety of designs for individual prints and other commodities. Images such as Ito Sozan's Family of Chickens in this exhibition were likely adapted from such illustrated books that served as design templates for print designers.

Walasse Ting (China/USA, 1928-2010)
Untitled ( #Rooster ), n.d.
ink, color, & acrylic on paper
23 x 30 cm (9 x 11 3/4 in.)
#BirdsInArt
onlineonly.christies.com/s/contempora...
“A largely self-taught painter, Walasse Ting developed a notable career that traversed major movements across Shanghai, Paris, and New York, as well as a range of Western and Chinese media. Though his time in New York brought him into close contact with Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism, his style was equally informed by an exuberant sense of color and line that set him well apart. In Untitled (Rooster), Walasse continues his signature use of rich, saturated colors and flat backgrounds. Through his fluid brushstrokes and adept use of contrasting colors, Ting renders an endearing picture of a rooster, conjuring its vivacity in broad swathes of ink. In this work, Ting’s ability to represent space through flat fields of color is on full display.”
