Charles-Emile Jacque
Charles Emile Jacque was born in 1813 in Paris. He was part of the first generation of painters to leave Paris for Barbizon and the forest of Fontainebleau. Jacque was also a founding and influential member of the “Men of 1830” (also called L'école Française De Paysage), an artistic movement who, spurred on by the Revolution of 1830, sought out new directions in landscape painting. His strong, realistic, yet sensitive depictions of shepherds and their flocks form one of the most cohesive and important bodies of work produced by the movement. During the 1840s, he and his friend, Jean-François Millet moved to the village of Barbizon where they felt they could more realistically portray nature. Jacque bought a house there and was influenced by Narcisse Diaz’s technique and Millet’s themes, he found his inspiration in hen-houses, pigsties and flocks of sheep at pasture. He left Barbizon in 1854 and continued to paint in the outskirts of Paris until he died on May 7, 1894. Works by his hand are held by numerous museums such as the Baltimore Museum of Art, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Cincinnati Art Museum, National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, and Philadelphia Museum of Art and, of course, at the Musée du Louvre and Musée d’Orsay in Paris.

- "Various Himochi" Wagashi Festival Japanese Woodblock Print by Utagawa ToyokuniLocated in Soquel, CA"Various Himochi" Wagashi Festival Japanese Woodblock Print by Utagawa Toyokuni Rare oversized early 19th century 5-tiered woodblock by Utagawa Ichiyosai Toyokuni, (Japan, 1769-1825), a Japanese lord and wife oversee a sekku festival of food, music, and dolls or toys. '"oshi" is the first day of “Mi (Snake)” in the third month of the lunar calendar. This day, known in modern Japan as the Girls' Festival, originated in China as a form of purification ceremony in which water and drinking peach blossom wine were used to drive away evil. Many kinds of hishi-mochi appear in this picture of hina ningyo (dolls associated with Hinamatsuri, or the Girl’s Day) from Omochae. The custom of eating special dishes at events throughout the year and at milestones in people's lives has existed since ancient times. This paragraph specifically focuses on the annual event called sekku, and life events that involve eating sweets. Joshi is the first day of “Mi (Snake)” in the third month of the lunar calendar. This day, known in modern Japan as the Girls' Festival, originated in China as a form of purification ceremony in which water and drinking peach blossom wine were used to drive away evil. According to the Keiso saijiki, in ancient China, on the third day of the third lunar month, people ate “ryuzetsuhan,” which is the juice of gogyo (Jersey cudweed) mixed with rice flour and nectar. In Japan, there is a record in the Heian period history book Nihon Montoku tenno jitsuroku [839-5] that it was an annual event to make kusamochi using gogyo on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, which may have been influenced by Chinese customs. The tradition of eating kusamochi on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar continued after that. By the Edo period, however, hishimochi had come to be used as a sweet to serve on the third day of the third month. A picture of a hishimochi is included in the Morisada manko , which we mentioned in Part 1. According to it, hishimochi in the Edo period were often three layers of green-white-green instead of the now common red-white-green. However, it is possible to see from our collection that not all hishimochi were made in this way. Omochae published in 1857, is a good example. Omochae is a type of ukiyoe print...Category
