Spring 1991 Kelsey Museum Of.Archaeology Associates Newsletter Spring 1991 Kelsey Museum of.Archaeology Notes from the Director As this issue of the Newsletter goes to press, the war in the Persian Gulf has just ended. We are now beginning to take stock of the situation in the Middle East and North Africa where so much of the Kelsey's ar­ chaeoiogical research takes place. Projects in the Middle East and North Africa In mid-February we were especially re­ lieved that our archaeological team, which had been in the field at Coptos in Egypt since mid-December, returned home safely after a successful season. We were in close telephone contact, several times weekly once the war broke out, and had contin­ gency plans to discontinue work if neces­ sary. The war, fortunately, did not impede the team's work.

  • Bernini's Fountains: an Illustration of How This Art-Form Can Be Said to Symbolize the Emotional Stability of Its Creator—The Seventeenth Century Genius
    BERNINI'S FOUNTAINS: AN ILLUSTRATION OF HOW THIS ART-FORM CAN BE SAID TO SYMBOLIZE THE EMOTIONAL STABILITY OF ITS CREATOR—THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY GENIUS by JANE MAYNARD MATHER B.A., McGill University, 1952 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Fine Arts We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1967 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and Study. 1 further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by h.i>s representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada ABSTRACT The oft cited man on the street has never heard of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, although this great artist was perhaps the genius of the seventeenth century. Such ignorance, it is my contention in this thesis, arises from the myth that links creativity with illness, genius with insanity. The same man on the street often knows of other artists not so much, unfortunately, from their work, as from the much publicized idiosyncrasies of their personalities. Bernini, as I have endeavoured to show in this paper, was a man of outstanding stability, vitality, dis• cipline—and a man entirely committed to, and involved in, the time in which he lived.

  • Sulla's Tabularium
    Sulla’s Tabularium by Sean Irwin A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2010 © Sean Irwin 2010 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis examines the Tabularium in Rome. Very little is written about this building, despite its imposing size and commanding location at the juncture of the Forum Roma- num and the two crests of the Capitoline hill. It remains a cipher, unconsidered and unexplained. This thesis provides an explanation for the construction of the Tabularium consonant with the building’s composi- tion and siting, the character of the man who commissioned it, and the political climate at the time of its construction — reconciling the Tabularium’s location and design with each of these factors. Previous analyses of the Tabularium dwelt on its topo- graphic properties as a monumental backdrop for the Forum to the exclusion of all else. This thesis proposes the Tabularium was created by the dictator Lucius Cornelius Sulla as a military installation forging an architectural nexus between political and religious authority in Rome. The Tabularium was the first instance of military architec- ture behind the mask of a civic program — a prototype for Julius and Augustus Caesar’s monumental interventions in the Forum valley. iii Acknowledgments First, I wish to convey my appreciation to my parents.
