~ Ring Inscribed with Hieroglyphs.

Place of origin: Egypt

Date: 305–30 B.C.

▪︎ From the source: Upon death, people who were thought to have lived moral lives were reborn in the afterlife as a form of the god Osiris. This ring is inscribed with the title “Osiris,” followed by the owner’s names and titles, attesting to his faith that he would become one with the god after death.

Viking Gritstone Plaque, The Yorkshire Museum, York

Many of York's Viking residents converted from paganism to Christianity. Some even became benefactors of their new faith.

This plaque names two people who paid for the construction of a church; an expensive feat. Their Scandinavian names - Grim and Aese - are clearly visible.

Lady at the Virginals with a Gentleman

Artist: Johannes Vermeer (Dutch, 1632-1675)

Date: Early 1660's

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Royal Collection Trust, United Kingdom

Description

The inscription on the lid of the virginal, MUSICA LETITIAE CO[ME]S / MEDICINA DOLOR[IS], means 'Music is a companion in pleasure and a balm in sorrow.' It suggests that it is the relationship between the man and the young woman that is being explored by the artist, but what stage that relationship has reached is impossible to say. The fact that there are two musical instruments implies shared pleasures and a potential harmony, which is also indicated by the rapt expression on the man's face as he listens to the young woman or sings as she plays on the virginal.

The mood of the present interior by Vermeer is created as much by the careful selection of so few objects as by the confrontation of the two figures in whose plight, in the words of Lawrence Gowing, 'there rests, as gentle as the air itself, an allegory of liberty and bondage, an allegory, as the inscription informs us, of the pleasure and melancholy of love'.
