Analyst brief
What the record supports
The object, titled "Runner," is an embroidered net classified under Textiles-Laces and held by the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts department. It measures 52 x 20 1/2 inches (132.1 x 52.1 cm) and is dated to the 19th century. The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired it in 1978 as an anonymous gift.
The object's artist is listed as "Antonio Pollaiuolo" in the catalogue. However, the artist authority record for Antonio del Pollaiuolo (1429-1498), an Italian painter, sculptor, and engraver, indicates a birth and death date that predates the object's 19th-century creation. No provenance, culture, exhibitions, or literature data is available for this piece.
Other works by or attributed to Antonio del Pollaiuolo in The Metropolitan Museum of Art primarily consist of drawings, prints, and sculptures from the 15th and early 16th centuries. These include works such as "Study for the Equestrian Monument to Francesco Sforza" (early to mid 1480s) and "Battle of the Nude Men" (ca. 1470–90).
