His research and publications have focused on seventeenth- century European art, ranging from a two-volume catalogue raisonné on Domenichino (1581–1641) to studies based on iconographic, psychoanalytic, feminist, and economic methodologies. He taught at Oberlin College from 1965 until 2000, where he also directed the Allen Memorial Art Museum (1972–83). He was appointed Distinguished Visiting Professor at George Washington University in 1983-84 and held the Harn Eminent Scholar Chair at the University of Florida, Gainesville, in 1997-98.

    Academic Profiles of Conference Speakers 1. Cavazza, Marta, Associate Professor of the History of Science in the Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione (University of Bologna) Professor Cavazza’s research interests encompass seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Italian scientific institutions, in particular those based in Bologna, with special attention to their relations with the main European cultural centers of the age, namely the Royal Society of London and the Academy of Sciences in Paris. She also focuses on the presence of women in eighteenth- century Italian scientific institutions and the Enlightenment debate on gender, culture and society. Most of Cavazza’s published works on these topics center on Laura Bassi (1711-1778), the first woman university professor at Bologna, thanks in large part to the patronage of Benedict XIV. She is currently involved in the organization of the rich program of events for the celebration of the third centenary of Bassi’s birth. Select publications include: Settecento inquieto: Alle origini dell’Istituto delle Scienze (Bologna: Il Mulino, 1990); “The Institute of science of Bologna and The Royal Society in the Eighteenth century”, Notes and Records of The Royal Society, 56 (2002), 1, pp. 3- 25; “Una donna nella repubblica degli scienziati: Laura Bassi e i suoi colleghi,” in Scienza a due voci, (Firenze: Leo Olschki, 2006); “From Tournefort to Linnaeus: The Slow Conversion of the Institute of Sciences of Bologna,” in Linnaeus in Italy: The Spread of a Revolution in Science, (Science History Publications/USA, 2007); “Innovazione e compromesso.

    ELISABETTA SIRANI’S JUDITH WITH THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES by JESSICA COLE RUBINSKI (Under the Direction of Shelley Zuraw) ABSTRACT This thesis examines the life and artistic career of the female artist, Elisabetta Sirani. The paper focuses on her unparalleled depictions of heroines, especially her Judith with the Head of Holofernes. By tracing the iconography of Judith from masters of the Renaissance into the mid- seventeenth century, it is evident that Elisabetta’s painting from 1658 is unique as it portrays Judith in her ultimate triumph. Furthermore, an emphasis is placed on the relationship between Elisabetta’s Judith and three of Guido Reni’s Judith images in terms of their visual resemblances, as well as their symbolic similarities through the incorporation of a starry sky and crescent moon. INDEX WORDS: Elisabetta Sirani, Judith, Holofernes, heroines, Timoclea, Giovanni Andrea Sirani, Guido Reni, female artists, Italian Baroque, Bologna ELISABETTA SIRANI’S JUDITH WITH THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES by JESSICA COLE RUBINSKI B.A., Florida State University, 2003 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2008 © 2008 Jessica Cole Rubinski All Rights Reserved ELISABETTA SIRANI’S JUDITH WITH THE HEAD OF HOLOFERNES by JESSICA COLE RUBINSKI Major Professor: Dr. Shelley Zuraw Committee: Dr. Isabelle Wallace Dr. Asen Kirin Electronic Version Approved: Maureen Grasso Dean of the Graduate School The University of Georgia May 2008 iv To my Family especially To my Mother, Pamela v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank Robert Henson of Carolina Day School for introducing me to the study of Art History, and the professors at Florida State University for continuing to spark my interest and curiosity for the subject.

  • The Collecting, Dealing and Patronage Practices of Gaspare Roomer

    The Collecting, Dealing and Patronage Practices of Gaspare Roomer

    ART AND BUSINESS IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY NAPLES: THE COLLECTING, DEALING AND PATRONAGE PRACTICES OF GASPARE ROOMER by Chantelle Lepine-Cercone A thesis submitted to the Department of Art History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (November, 2014) Copyright ©Chantelle Lepine-Cercone, 2014 Abstract This thesis examines the cultural influence of the seventeenth-century Flemish merchant Gaspare Roomer, who lived in Naples from 1616 until 1674. Specifically, it explores his art dealing, collecting and patronage activities, which exerted a notable influence on Neapolitan society. Using bank documents, letters, artist biographies and guidebooks, Roomer’s practices as an art dealer are studied and his importance as a major figure in the artistic exchange between Northern and Sourthern Europe is elucidated. His collection is primarily reconstructed using inventories, wills and artist biographies. Through this examination, Roomer emerges as one of Naples’ most prominent collectors of landscapes, still lifes and battle scenes, in addition to being a sophisticated collector of history paintings. The merchant’s relationship to the Spanish viceregal government of Naples is also discussed, as are his contributions to charity. Giving paintings to notable individuals and large donations to religious institutions were another way in which Roomer exacted influence. This study of Roomer’s cultural importance is comprehensive, exploring both Northern and Southern European sources. Through extensive use of primary source material, the full extent of Roomer’s art dealing, collecting and patronage practices are thoroughly examined. ii Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Sebastian Schütze.

  • Un Cristo Nudo Del 1400 Rivede La Luce a Lauro Scoperto Un Raro Ciclo Di

    Un Cristo Nudo Del 1400 Rivede La Luce a Lauro Scoperto Un Raro Ciclo Di

    Un Cristo nudo del 1400 rivede la luce a Lauro Scoperto un raro ciclo di affreschi del XV secolo a Lauro di Nola. Una rarità iconografica che sta meravigliando gli stessi studiosi. Il 2000, anno giubilare, è trascorso in Campania denso di manifestazioni religiose e appuntamenti culturali che hanno riavvicinato il grande pubblico non solo agli aspetti intimi della fede, ma anche alle necessarie “esteriorità”, tra queste la più ghiotta è stata senza dubbio la mostra artistica sul tema della Croce tenutasi presso la sala Carlo V nel Maschio Angioino. La mostra ricca di straordinari reperti, alcuni dei quali, preziosissimi, mai esposti prima, ha fatto seguito ad un dotto convegno sull’argomento organizzato nei mesi precedenti dal professor Boris Iulianich, emerito nell’Università di Napoli e massimo esperto di storia del Cristianesimo, che ha visto la partecipazione di ben 54 relatori provenienti da ogni angolo del globo. Per rimanere nel tema cristologico vogliamo segnalare una sensazionale scoperta avvenuta nella chiesa di Santa Maria della Pietà a Lauro di Nola (fig. 1), ove nell’ambito di un ciclo di affreschi quattrocenteschi, a lungo rimasti sepolti tra le fondamenta di una chiesa più moderna, spicca una scena del Battesimo di Cristo con un’iconografia assolutamente rara: una ostentatio genitalium in piena regola, che lascia esterrefatti, perché la raffigurazione di nostro Signore completamente nudo, in età adulta è poco meno che eccezionale. In Italia possiamo citare soltanto due altri esempi: il Crocifisso ligneo scolpito da Michelangelo nel convento di Santo Spirito in Firenze ed un mosaico nella cupola del Battistero della Cattedrale di Ravenna risalente al V secolo.
