[Ambroise Vollard, Paris.] [Paul Cassirer Gallery, Berlin.] Dr. Hugo von Tschudi, Berlin, (1906-1911), by descent; to his widow, Angela von Tschudi, Munich (1911-1919), to Neue Staatsgalerie, Munich (1919-1938); removed from the collection by the National Socialist (Nazi) authorities in 1938, consigned; to [Theodor Fischer Gallery, Lucerne, Switzerland, for sale June 30, 1939, lot 45]; to Maurice Wertheim (1939-1951) bequest; to Fogg Art Museum, 1951. Notes: Gauguin sold the painting for Fr 300 Hugo von Tschudi bought the painting for the Nationalgalerie, Berlin, with funds from sponsors, but did not submit it to the Kaiser for pre-approval. He took the painting to Munich when he assumed a post there. According to Stephanie Barron, the van Gogh was removed from the Neue Staatsgalerie on March 27, 1938 and stored at Schloss Niederschönhausen in August of that year.

Adding IIIF Media

What is IIIF?
The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) defines universal standards for describing and delivering images over the web, and is the result of collaborative efforts across universities, museums, libraries, and other cultural heritage institutions around the world. The framework specifies two APIs, one for image retrieval and one for image display. Institutions that provide IIIF endpoints for their materials are able to share these materials with anyone worldwide using a IIIF-compatible viewer. This provides an unprecedented level of exposure for archives and repositories.
IIIF resources are typically displayed with a deep-zoom viewer, such as Mirador. This allows users to see tiny details in manuscripts, paintings, and other media. See below for an example.How it works by default
Scalar does not natively support IIIF media or IIIF viewers. We hope to merge this functionality to the upstream codebase so other Scalar users can also integrate IIIF media, but for now, it's only available at Harvard.
How it works at Harvard
Import IIIF media like any other file, under "Files and URLs." You can choose either "Upload Media Files" if you have a IIIF manifest on your computer, or "Link to Media Files" if linking to an online manifest.
You must tick the "IIIF Manifest?" box on this page. Most media types can be automatically detected through the file extension when being imported into Scalar, but IIIF manifests can have different file extensions or none at all. You need to include a title. Scalar will attempt to parse as much metadata as possible from the manifest, but will not override the provided title.
Result within Scalar, displayed using Mirador 3 and embedded here. Link to standalone page.Finding IIIF Manifests
In a IIIF viewer, generally look for a link titled "IIIF Manifest."
