  • 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).

  • 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.

  • The New World Mythology in Italian Epic Poetry: 1492-1650
    THE NEW WORLD MYTHOLOGY IN ITALIAN EPIC POETRY: 1492-1650 by CARLA ALOÈ A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Italian Studies School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT My thesis explores the construction of the New World mythology as it appears in early modern Italian epic poems. It focuses on how Italian writers engage with and contribute to this process of myth-creation; how the newly created mythology relates to the political, social and cultural context of the time; and investigates extent to which it was affected by the personal agendas of the poets. By analysing three New World myths (Brazilian Amazons, Patagonian giants and Canadian pygmies), it provides insights into the perception that Italians had of the newly discovered lands in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, as well as providing a greater understanding of the role that early modern Italy had in the ‘invention’ of the Americas.
