May the luck of the Irish be with you this St. Patrick’s Day!
"In The Harp of Erin the female figure is a personification that carries a political message. The young woman, wearing shamrocks in her hair and a green scarf, symbolizes Ireland. She is chained to a large rock that represents England. The title reinforces the artist’s meaning, as the harp is Ireland’s national symbol and Erin its ancient name.
During the 19th century, widespread famine and England’s political oppression caused large-scale immigration of the Irish to the United States. By 1851, the Irish were the second largest immigrant community in Cincinnati, representing 12 percent of the population. (The German community represented 28 percent.) The plight of the Irish deeply concerned politically aware Americans.
Both a poet and a painter, Thomas Buchanan Read was born in Pennsylvania and came to Cincinnati when he was 15. Although he spent much of his life elsewhere, he always considered the Queen City home and painted this work while in residence here."

Thomas Buchanan Read (American, 1822–1872), The Harp of Erin, 1867, oil on canvas, Gift of Mrs. Michael M. Shoemaker, 1934

"seated dress with impression of drapery," a cast, sandblasted & acid-etched glass sculpture, by karen lamonte
"simultaneously present[ing] the beauty of the garment as well as the female body that once wore it…[she] explores the idea of what it means to be feminine…the relationship between our natural skin and our social skin, or clothing"

Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788)
"Portrait of Ann Ford (later Mrs. Philip Thicknesse)" (1760)
Oil on canvas
Located in the Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
Ann Ford a well-known beauty and amateur musician, her public musical performances were quite notorious in the polite world of Georgian England, leading to a pamphlet war between her supporters and her critics. As Gainsborough himself would later put it: “[She was] partly admired and partly laugh’d at at every Tea Table.”
