  • Archivio Gonzaga
    Archivio Gonzaga buste A-Z e 1-3720 (762, in copia del sec. XI-1866) cfr.: Pietro Torelli, L’Archivio Gonzaga di Mantova, Arnaldo Forni Editore, Ostiglia (MN) 1920, ristampa anastatica Mantova 1988, vol. I; Alessandro Luzio, La corrispondenza familiare, amministrativa e diplomatica dei Gonzaga, Verona 1922, ristampa anastatica Mantova 1993, vol. II. Archivio Gonzaga Nota introduttiva L’Archivio Gonzaga si può definire in sostanza come l’antico archivio «segreto» marchionale poi ducale, abbondantemente integrato con altra documentazione di data molto posteriore alla caduta della dinastia; esso è stato inserito, durante i lavori di ordinamento iniziati nel 1760, entro le ventidue classi A-Z fissate col piano di sistemazione variato il 13 agosto 1775. Come tale è poi rimasto, intatto nella sua struttura, a costituire il nucleo più prestigioso e il centro d’attrazione di sempre nuove carte di particolare importanza, sia dell’archivio governativo istituito nel 1786, sia soprattutto dell’archivio storico patrio pervenuto, come si è detto, all’Archivio di Stato di Mantova nel 1899. Un tipico archivio di corte e di cancelleria, insomma, con richiami di atti dalle più svariate magistrature sia comunali che principesche, ma ordinato per materia a posteriori, e quindi in modo tale da non rispecchiare né l’organizzazione della cancelleria, né tanto meno quella degli organi di governo nel loro complesso. Naturalmente esso comprende anche carte di data anteriore all’avvento dei Gonzaga al potere: in particolare quelle che i Gonzaga stessi avevano concentrato nella magna domus dopo la battaglia di piazza San Pietro del 16 agosto 1328, data comunemente accolta come termine della signoria bonacolsiana, e che l’incendio dell’archivio del comune nel 1413 ha reso poi particolarmente preziose.

My most heart-felt, gigantic appreciation to Dr. David Leitch, for his leadership, patience, innovative ideas, vast knowledge of political-theory, as well as political science at the intersection of aesthetic theory. Thank you also to Dr. Owen Doonan, for his amazing assistance with aesthetic theory and classical mythology.

  • Humanism and Spanish Literary Patronage at the Roman Curia: the Role of the Cardinal of Santa Croce, Bernardino López De Carvajal (1456–1523)
    2017 IV Humanism and Spanish Literary Patronage at the Roman Curia: The Role of the Cardinal of Santa Croce, Bernardino López de Carvajal (1456–1523) Marta Albalá Pelegrín Article: Humanism and Spanish Literary Patronage at the Roman Curia: The Role of the Cardinal of Santa Croce, Bernardino López de Carvajal (1456-1523) Humanism and Spanish Literary Patronage at the Roman Curia: The Role of the Cardinal of Santa Croce, Bernardino López de Carvajal (1456-1523)1 Marta Albalá Pelegrín Abstract: This article aims to analyze the role of Bernardino López de Carvajal (1456 Plasencia-1523 Rome) as a literary patron, namely his contributions to humanism in Rome and to Spanish letters, in the period that has been loosely identified as Spanish Rome. Carvajal held the dignities of orator continuus of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, titular cardinal of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, and Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, and was even elected antipope with the name of Martin VI in the Conciliabulum of Pisa (1511) against Julius II. He belonged to the avant-garde of humanists devoted to creating a body of Neo-Latin and Spanish literature that would both foster the Spanish presence at Rome and leave a mark on the Spanish literary canon. He sponsored a considerable body of works that celebrated the deeds of the Catholic Kings and those of the Great Captain, Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba. He also commissioned literary translations, and was involved in the production of theatrical pieces, such as those of Bartolomé Torres Naharro. Key Words: Benardino López de Carvajal; Literary Patronage; Catholic Kings; Erasmus; Bartolomé Torres Naharro; Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba.

Drew Armstrong, Associate Professor, History of Art and Architecture Kirk Savage, Professor, History of Art and Architecture Jennifer Waldron, Associate Professor, Department of English Dissertation Advisor: Ann Sutherland Harris, Professor Emerita, History of Art and Architecture ii Copyright © by James Reynolds Jewitt 2014 iii THE EVOLUTION OF LANDSCAPE IN VENETIAN PAINTING, 1475-1525 James R. Jewitt, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2014 Landscape painting assumed a new prominence in Venetian painting between the late fifteenth to early sixteenth century: this study aims to understand why and how this happened. It begins by redefining the conception of landscape in Renaissance Italy and then examines several ambitious easel paintings produced by major Venetian painters, beginning with Giovanni Bellini’s (c.1431- 36-1516) St. Francis in the Desert (c.1475), that give landscape a far more significant role than previously seen in comparable commissions by their peers, or even in their own work. After an introductory chapter reconsidering all previous hypotheses regarding Venetian painters’ reputations as accomplished landscape painters, it is divided into four chronologically arranged case study chapters.

  • ALLA CORRENTE Isabella D'este
    ALLA CORRENTE Isabella d’Este Isabella d’Este (May 18, 1474–February 13, 1539) was one of the most noted women of the Italian Renaissance who played a key role in Italian politics and culture. I have always been fascinated by her since she was such an influential person during an age that was dominated by men. She represents, for me, another side of the Renaissance that sometimes is ignored by historians who focus on the upheaval and tension of the period. Isabella d’Este was Marchesa of Mantua and was a patron of the arts as well as a leader of fashion, whose innovative style of dressing was copied by women throughout Italy and at the French court. She served as the regent of Mantua during the absence of her husband, Francesco II Gonzaga, the Marquess of Mantua, and during the minority of her son, Federico, Duke of Mantua. In 1500 she met King Louis XII of France in Milan on a diplomatic mission to persuade him not to send his troops against Mantua. She was born in Ferrara on May 18, 1474 to Ercole I d’Este, Duke Isabella d’Este (1474–1539) of Ferrara and Leonora of Naples. Leonora was the daughter of Ferdinand I, the Aragonese King of Naples, and his wife Isabella of Taranto. Isabella d’Este received a fine classical education and met many famous humanist scholars and artists. One year later on June 29, 1475 her sister Beatrice d’Este was born, and in 1476 and 1477 two brothers, Alfonso and Ippolito arrived.
