  • Motifs in Peter Paul Rubens's the Martyrdom of Saint
    113 ‘Indian’ motifs in Peter Paul Rubens’s The martyrdom of Saint Thomas and The miracles of Saint Francis Xavier* Barbara Uppenkamp Introduction In his painting for the altar of the Augustinian church in Prague representing the martyrdom of Saint Thomas in India, Peter Paul Rubens faced the difficult task of having to depict, as faithfully as possible, the unfamiliar location where the dramatic events unfurled (fig. 1).1 The legend that Thomas was an architect of Roman antiquity who went to India to build a palace might have prompted Rubens to combine elements of classical Roman architecture with others, which to him and his contemporaries would have suggested an Indian setting. The purpose of this study is to examine Rubens’s knowledge of Asian architecture and sculpture as deduced from sources that were available to him. To this end, reference will be made above all to the stock of his extensive library as documented by three sources.2 The most important of these are the journals of the Officina Plantiniana, where his book purchases are recorded. Besides this, Rubens’s wide-ranging correspondence gives an impression of the vast breadth of his erudition. Finally, the auction catalogue of the library belonging to his son Albert (1614-1657) indicates which books had probably been in Rubens’s possession, given that Albert inherited his father’s books.3 Accordingly, Rubens can be presumed to have owned the great cartographic works Civitates orbis terrarum by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590), the Thesaurus geographicus by Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598), and L’histoire des Indes de Portugal by Fernão Lopes de Castanheda (c.

  • Colonial Failure in the Anglo-North Atlantic World, 1570-1640 (2015)
    FINDLEY JR, JAMES WALTER, Ph.D. “Went to Build Castles in the Aire:” Colonial Failure in the Anglo-North Atlantic World, 1570-1640 (2015). Directed by Dr. Phyllis Whitman Hunter. 266pp. This study examines the early phases of Anglo-North American colonization from 1570 to 1640 by employing the lenses of imagination and failure. I argue that English colonial projectors envisioned a North America that existed primarily in their minds – a place filled with marketable and profitable commodities waiting to be extracted. I historicize the imagined profitability of commodities like fish and sassafras, and use the extreme example of the unicorn to highlight and contextualize the unlimited potential that America held in the minds of early-modern projectors. My research on colonial failure encompasses the failure of not just physical colonies, but also the failure to pursue profitable commodities, and the failure to develop successful theories of colonization. After roughly seventy years of experience in America, Anglo projectors reevaluated their modus operandi by studying and drawing lessons from past colonial failure. Projectors learned slowly and marginally, and in some cases, did not seem to learn anything at all. However, the lack of learning the right lessons did not diminish the importance of this early phase of colonization. By exploring the variety, impracticability, and failure of plans for early settlement, this study investigates the persistent search for usefulness of America by Anglo colonial projectors in the face of high rate of

  • Paintings and Prints of the Women of Virginia from John White to Joan Blaeu Ann Rosalind Jones
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2012, vol . 7 American Beauties, or What’s Wrong with this Picture? Paintings and Prints of the Women of Virginia from John White to Joan Blaeu Ann Rosalind Jones his essay discusses European pictorial representations of North TAmerica women in six prints from sixteenth- and seventeenth- century books. By analyzing the shifting forms in which European artists presented two women of Virginia, I hope to raise some questions about cultural history. What do these related images reveal about the gendered eye of the Europeans who made them and for whom they were intended? What did an artist on the spot think was significant? What does the reworking of previous images by European print artists tell us about the way they imagined women of the Americas? Or about the way their pub- lishers calculated what would appeal to their readers? And why might all this matter now? Two of these images were engravings printed in the first volume of Theodore de Bry’s America (Frankfurt, 1590), well known now in Early Modern transatlantic studies.1 For the 1590 book the German publisher commissioned Carolus Clusius to write a Latin translation of Thomas Harriot’s 1588 English account of his countrymen’s settlement in Roanoke. De Bry illustrated this book with his own engravings, based on 1 For an in-depth study of de Bry’s America volumes and an extensive bibliography, see Michiel van Groesen, The Representations of the Overseas World in the De Bry Collection of Voyages (1590–1634) (Leiden and Boston: Brill, 2008).

  • Jews in New Amsterdam 1654 Leo Hershkowitz in Late Summer 1654, Two Ships Anchored in New Amsterdam Roadstead
    ARTICLE By Chance or Choice: Jews in New Amsterdam 1654 Leo Hershkowitz In late summer 1654, two ships anchored in New Amsterdam roadstead. One, the Peereboom (Peartree), arrived from Amsterdam on or about August 22. The other, a Dutch vessel named the St. [Sint] Catrina, is often referred to as the French warship St. Catherine or St. Charles. Yet, only the name St. Catrina appears in original records, having entered a few days before September 7 from the West Indies. The Peereboom, Jan Pietersz Ketel, skipper, left Amsterdam July 8 for London, soon after peace negotiations in April concluded the first Anglo-Dutch War (1652–1654). Following a short stay, the Peereboom sailed for New Amsterdam, where passengers and cargo were ferried ashore, as there were no suitable docks or wharves. Among those who disembarked were Jacob Barsimon, probably together with Asser Levy and Solomon Pietersen. These were the first known Jews to set foot in the Dutch settlement, and with them begins the history of that community in New York.1 A number of vessels arrived and departed New Amsterdam during 1654 and early 1655, including the Gelderse Bloem (Flower of Gelderland), Swarte Arent (Black Eagle), Schaal (Shell), Beer (Bear), Groot Christofel (Great Christopher), Koning Solomon (King Solomon), Jonge Raafe (Young Raven), and d’Zwaluw (Swallow). Perhaps Pietersen and Levy were on one of these, but given the extensive use of the Peereboom, it seems likely they would have been on that ship. Regardless of which vessel they were on, they came by choice. These were not refugees fleeing imminent persecution.

  • Truffle Hunting with an Iron Hog: the First Dutch Voyage up the Delaware River”
    “Truffle Hunting with an Iron Hog: The First Dutch Voyage up the Delaware River” Jaap Jacobs, MCEAS Quinn Foundation Senior Fellow Presented to the McNeil Center for Early American Studies Seminar Series Stephanie Grauman Wolf Room, McNeil Center, 3355 Woodland Walk 20 April 2007, 3PM (Please do not cite, quote, or circulate without written permission from the author) 2 Truffle Hunting with an Iron Hog: The First Voyage up the Delaware River The French historian Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie is one of the many who divided the devotees of Clio into two opposing groups, for which he employed a tasteful, if slightly airy, metaphor: the truffle hunters and the parachutists. The first keep their nose to the ground, in search for a minute fact buried in the mud. The second float with their head in the clouds, taking in the whole panorama, without seeing too much detail.1 Far be it from me to criticize eminent Frenchmen, but continuing Le Roy Ladurie’s metaphor, I would like to point out that parachutists reach firm ground in the end, although it may be an uncomfortable experience if their parachute fails. And truffle hunters may board aircraft, take off, jump out, and enjoy the view. In short, many historians have both a taste for exquisite morsels and for grand views. On this occasion, I would like to serve you a truffle dish in the form of a recently discovered document, a deposition made to Amsterdam notary Jacobus Westfrisius. The document refers to events that took place in the second decade of the seventeenth century.

  • The Connecticut River
    The Connecticut River Connecticut is named for a river. The river runs right through its middle. The Native Americans called it Quinnetukut, or “the long tidal river.” It is easy to see on a map where the Connecticut River ends. It empties into Long Island Sound. But where does it begin? It begins far north, near the border of the United States and Canada. The Connecticut River flows south between Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. It is 410 miles long. The place where it ends is called the mouth of the river. © Connecticut Explored Inc. First Europeans Arrive Native Americans lived along the river for thousands of years. 400 years ago, Dutch trader Adriaen Block was exploring by ship. His ship was called the Onrust. He wanted to trade with the Native Americans. Block found the mouth of the Connecticut River in 1614. He and his crew sailed the Onrust up the river. They met the Podunk Indians near where Hartford is today. They were the first Europeans to meet the Podunks. They built a trading post on the riverbank. English settlers arrived in the 1630s. They came over land from Massachusetts. They weren’t only interested in trading. The English were searching for farmland. They also wanted to practice their Christian religion the way they wanted to. The first English settlements were “the river towns” of Windsor, Hartford, and Wethersfield. At the mouth of the river, Englishmen built a fort at Old Saybrook. Hartford grew to become a city and the state capital, but the other river towns stayed small.

  • Theodor De Bry's Voyages to the New and Old Worlds
    a Theodor De Bry’s Voyages to the New and Old Worlds Maureen Quilligan Duke University Durham, North Carolina Illustrated by more than six hundred plates and comprising twenty- seven vol- umes published over a span of nearly half a century by Theodor de Bry and his two sons, the Collectiones peregrinatiorum in Indiam orientalem et Indiam occidentalem (1590 – 1634) is a collection of European travels to the rest of the world that has offered a goldmine to scholars seeking visual material for the study of Europe’s attitudes toward foreign others. Only quite recently, how- ever, has any study been devoted to the compilations’ complicated history as a book in and of itself. Michiel van Groesen’s 2008 volume, The Representa- tions of the Overseas World in the De Bry Collection of Voyages, 1590 – 1634, is the first in English to undertake a discussion of the entire collection, focusing not only on the better- known representations of travel to the Americas, but also on the voyages to the worlds of Africa, India, and the Far East.1 Usually De Bry’s work has been used to illustrate various specific points in individual scholar’s arguments about European understandings of the Native American other. In 1981, for example, Bernadette Bucher wrote a provocative structural- ist argument about gender and cannibalism, Icon and Conquest: A Structural Analysis of the Illustrations of de Bry’s Great Voyages.” 2 One thinks of a number of studies which appeared around the quincentennial of Columbus’s “discov- ery” of America in 1992, such as Anthony Pagden’s The Fall of Natural Man (1982) or Stephen Greenblatt’s Marvelous Possessions (1991), both of which fea- ture plates from De Bry’s America series for their covers.
