  • History of the Franciscan Movement
    HISTORY OF THE FRANCISCAN MOVEMENT Volume 2 FROM THE YEAR 1517 TO THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL On-line course in Franciscan History at Washington Theological Union Washington DC By Noel Muscat OFM Jerusalem 2008 History of the Franciscan Movement. Volume 2: From 1517 to the Second Vatican Council Chapter 10 NEW REFORMS AND NEW DIVISIONS: THE BIRTH OF THE CAPUCHINS AND REFORMS WITHIN THE OBSERVANCE The friars “of the Holy Gospel” The Order of Friars Minor of the Regular Observance, after the union of all the reformed families in 1517, became a powerful religious family dedicated mainly to apostolic missions. A minority of friars, however, continued to insist upon living a simpler Franciscan life in the hermitages. Besides the Amadeiti and Coletani, there were other congregations which preferred eremitical life, like the Clareni and the friars “of the Holy Gospel” or Capuciati. This last religious family was one which the Bulla Ite vos of Leo X (1517) had not managed to integrate within the Order of the Friars Minor of the Regular Observance. They were born, as we have already seen, with the initiative of Juan de la Puebla, who had made an experience of Franciscan life in the Umbrian hermitages of central Italy, and then had returned to Spain, founding a congregation of friars who lived the literal observance of the Rule in the hermitages. Among his followers there was Juan de Guadalupe, who in 1508 obtained the approval of the Province “of the Holy Gospel”.1 The negative reaction of the Spanish Observants, who persecuted the new religious family, compelled the brothers of the Custody of Estremadura to place themselves under the obedience of the Conventuals in 1515, and thus became to be known by the name of “Reformed Conventuals”.2 They wore a short tunic with a pyramidal hood, and hence also the name Capuciati.

  • Bernini Breaking Barriers – Sensuality Sculpted in Stone
    Bernini Breaking Barriers – Sensuality Sculpted in Stone Sandra Mifsud Bonnici [email protected] Abstract This paper will attempt to demonstrate that with his virtuosity, the Baroque sculptor, Gian Lorenzo Bernini managed to challenge the barriers which the medium he worked with, namely stone (marble) offered, to produce dynamic, lifelike and realistic works that also managed to express a previously unknown element in sculpture, that of sensuality. It will try to highlight how the spiritual and physical could come together in his works. The first masterpiece that will be focused upon will be the portrait bust of Bernini’s lover Costanza Piccolomini, a private work Bernini sculpted when he was thirty-nine years of age, chosen to represent the passion and worldly love that he felt for this woman. By way of contrast, the second masterpiece studied in this paper is the figure of the Blessed Ludovica Albertoni, one of his last works, chosen to represent Bernini’s concept of the culmination of spiritual love that also incorporated a sensual element. The third and final masterpiece is the ecstasy of St. Teresa of Avila found in the Cornaro Chapel in the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria, considered by many as his greatest work, as an example of how mysticism also has a sensual element to it. Keywords: Baroque sculpture, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, sensuality, Costanza Piccolomini, Ludovica Albertoni, St Teresa d’Avila. No one can deny that Gian Lorenzo Bernini had the extraordinary technical skill and expertise to sculpt anything that he visualised or saw. The numerous works of art that he continued to create into his maturity and almost up to his death are evidence of this.

  • The Aqua Traiana / Aqua Paola and Their Effects on The
    THE AQUA TRAIANA / AQUA PAOLA AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE URBAN FABRIC OF ROME Carolyn A. Mess A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Architectural History In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Architectural History May 2014 Cammy Brothers __________________ Sheila Crane __________________ John Dobbins __________________ ii ABSTRACT Infrastructure has always played an important role in urban planning, though the focus of urban form is often the road system and the water system is only secondary. This is a misconception as often times the hydraulic infrastructure determined where roads were placed. Architectural structures were built where easily accessible potable water was found. People established towns and cities around water, like coasts, riverbanks, and natural springs. This study isolates two aqueducts, the Aqua Traiana and its Renaissance counterpart, the Aqua Paola. Both of these aqueducts were exceptional feats of engineering in their planning, building techniques, and functionality; however, by the end of their construction, they symbolized more than their outward utilitarian architecture. Within their given time periods, these aqueducts impacted an entire region of Rome that had twice been cut off from the rest of the city because of its lack of a water supply and its remote location across the Tiber. The Aqua Traiana and Aqua Paola completely transformed this area by improving residents’ hygiene, building up an industrial district, and beautifying the area of Trastevere. This study

  • Powers of Divergence Emphasises Its Potential for the Emergence of the New and for the Problematisation of the Limits of Musical Semiotics
    ORPHEUS What does it mean to produce resemblance in the performance of written ORPHEUS music? Starting from how this question is commonly answered by the practice of interpretation in Western notated art music, this book proposes a move beyond commonly accepted codes, conventions, and territories of music performance. Appropriating reflections from post-structural philosophy, visual arts, and semiotics, and crucially based upon an artistic research project with a strong creative and practical component, it proposes a new approach to music performance. This approach is based on divergence, on the difference produced by intensifying Powers of the chasm between the symbolic aspect of music notation and the irreducible materiality of performance. Instead of regarding performance as reiteration, reconstruction, and reproduction of past musical works, Powers of Divergence emphasises its potential for the emergence of the new and for the problematisation of the limits of musical semiotics. Divergence Lucia D’Errico is a musician and artistic researcher. A research fellow at the Orpheus Institute (Ghent, Belgium), she has been part of the research project MusicExperiment21, exploring notions of experimentation in the performance of Western notated art music. An Experimental Approach She holds a PhD from KU Leuven (docARTES programme) and a master’s degree in English literature, and is also active as a guitarist, graphic artist, and video performer. to Music Performance P “‘Woe to those who do not have a problem,’ Gilles Deleuze exhorts his audience owers of Divergence during one of his seminars. And a ‘problem’ in this philosophical sense is not something to dispense with, a difficulty to resolve, an obstacle to eliminate; nor is it something one inherits ready-made.

  • Favorite Places in Rome Provided by Marie Lorenz, December 2017
    Favorite Places in Rome provided by Marie Lorenz, December 2017 Marie lived in Rome during her third year at the Rhode Island School of Design. She returned for a second year as a Fellow at the American Academy in Rome. http://www.aarome.org/ She mapped out each of the spots listed below here. 1) THE TRASTEVERE CHURCHES These churches are only a 15 minute walk from Campo de Fiori and a bit off the tourist path, so they present a rare opportunity to sit quietly with some of the most beautiful artwork in Rome, for free! San Francesco a Ripa Piazza di S. Francesco d'Assisi, 88, 00153 Roma This early Franciscan convent holds Bernini’s masterpiece, Beata Ludovica Albertoni. "The sculpture and surrounding chapel honors a Roman noble woman who entered the Order of St. Francis following the death of her husband. The day before her own death from fever, Ludovica received the eucharist and then ordered everyone out of her room. When her servants were finally recalled, “they found her face aflame, but so cheerful that she seemed to have returned from Paradise.” (paraphrased from wikipedia) By representing this decisive moment, and like many of his other sculptures, Bernini seems to mingle the idea of physical ecstasy and religious martyrdom. In its day, this sculpture would have scandalized the recently reformed protestant church which considered any representation of a divine figure blasphemous. Bernini finished the sculpture in 1674 when he was seventy one years old. Santa Cecilia in Trastevere Piazza di Santa Cecilia, 22, 00153 Roma 5th-century church devoted to the Roman martyr Saint Cecilia.

  • Diana Al-Hadid SUBLIMATIONS
    Diana Al-Hadid SUBLIMATIONS Visually extravagant and conceptually provocative, Diana Al-Hadid’s sculptures, wall panels, and drawings are inspired by a range of sources, from art and architectural history to mythology and literature from around the world. Transforming the vestiges of such inheritances into improvised assemblages, intricate fields of dripping gypsum, and partially articulated human figures, Al-Hadid meditates on cycles of dissipation and renewal within and among cultures. Just as the word sublimation denotes a chemical transformation from one state of being into another, her work suggests changes wrought by time, as substance mutates into sensation and thought. Although she starts her process by responding to existing images and models, Al-Hadid ultimately camouflages these sources within an elaborate framework, prompting a reading that is intriguing and inexplicit. Hints of narrative and symbolism within these baroque configurations make each work a tantalizing projection of an imagined archaeology, where the salvaged detritus of society and the body holds its secrets close. The inseparability of material, process, and content is most evident in works made with polymer gypsum, a strengthened, weather-resistant form of the sulfate mineral used in plaster and wallboard. In works like Gradiva, for example, sinewy gypsum lacework evokes the profuse swirls of Abstract Expressionism, in which a subject is often buried within raw paint. Al-Hadid’s source of inspiration is likewise hidden within these tangled surfaces, where elongated drips seem to simultaneously swirl downward like roots after water and grow upward like vines seeking the sun (fig. 1). Like other works in this exhibition, Gradiva (Latin for “she who walks”) revisits archetypal narratives that depict the female body in socially prescriptive terms, which Al-Hadid challenges, transforms, or dissolves.

The city was the favorite and final destination of the grand tour, the long trip around continental Europe that rich european aristocracy (later also american) and artists would take, starting from the XVII century until the XIX century, with the purpose of improving their knowledge. The length of the trip was not well-defined, and usually the final destination was Italy, and particularly Rome.

  • Collecting and Treating Casts of Greek and Roman Sculpture, 1850- 1939 Emma M
    Casting a New Canon: Collecting and Treating Casts of Greek and Roman Sculpture, 1850- 1939 Emma M. Payne0 King’s College London Abstract From the mid-nineteenth century, it became de rigueur for Classics Departments to acquire casts of Greek and Roman sculpture to form reference and experimental collections. Recent scholarship has revived such casts, investigating their role as instruments of teaching and research, and their wavering popularity. This paper further examines the aims of those responsible for collecting casts, and discusses how these objectives influenced their materiality and treatment, as well as showing how the de facto creation of a new canon of casts through their repetition across the collections of different institutions contributed to the decline in their perceived importance. Introduction The role of casts in the study and teaching of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture is one that has generated considerable scholarly interest of late. This is in distinct contrast to the treatment of such casts through much of the twentieth century when collections were marginalized, reduced, and sometimes destroyed: factors which have only now increased the appeal of the remaining examples. Why did they survive? How were they used and can we still learn from them? What brought about their downfall? Many recent conferences and publications have sought to answer some or all of these questions, and more. Typically, these focus on certain collections or aspects of their history. Donna Kurtz (2000a), for example, has examined the acquisition and use of Oxford’s plaster casts, including their relationship with the rise of classical archaeology as an academic discipline at the university.
