Title: Formal Ball Gown (robe parée) Designer: Attributed to Marie-Jeanne "Rose" Bertin (French, 1747–1813) Date: 1780s (with later alterations) Culture: French Medium: Silk satin, with silk embroidery, appliqués of satin; metallic threads, chenille, sequins, applied glass paste Dimensions: Height (Including train): 84 5/8 in. (215 cm) Length (of train): 41 3/4 in. (106 cm) Classification: Main dress-Womenswear Credit Line: Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto (925.18.3.A–B) Showing the refinement of French eighteenth-century court dress, this richly embellished ball gown was a luxury few could afford. The metallic threads, sequins, and glass stones would have sparkled by candlelight. The petticoat, originally worn over a large pannier (but subsequently altered to a slimmer style), increased the volume and weight of the dress and, in combination with the train, made it difficult for the wearer to dance or move freely.

Title: Pandora Artist: Odilon Redon (French, Bordeaux 1840–1916 Paris) Date: ca. 1914 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 56 1/2 x 24 1/2 in. (143.5 x 62.2 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Bequest of Alexander M. Bing, 1959 Accession Number: 60.19.1 In classical mythology, Pandora was a supremely beautiful woman created by the gods and sent to Earth to live among mortals. Redon depicts her nude, in a state of perfect innocence, and surrounded by flowers, like the biblical Eve in the Garden of Eden. According to legend, when Pandora opened the box cradled in her arms, she released all the evils destined to plague humanity, bringing to an end the idyllic Golden Age. This painting is thought to have been made about 1914, on the eve of World War I, when the themes of harmony destroyed and chaos unleashed may have had heightened resonance.

Title: Dr. Leclenché Artist: Claude Monet (French, Paris 1840–1926 Giverny) Date: 1864 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 18 x 12 3/4 in.
