(PSML) is responsible for managing the most important natural and cultural sites located within the Sintra Cultural Landscape and Queluz, encompassing, amongst other monuments, the National Palaces of Sintra, Queluz and Pena. Included in its mission statement, therefore, is the objective to conserve, catalogue, research and divulge the cultural assets in its safekeeping, four pillars of the museological work of these palaces that ensure the safeguarding and enhancement of the integrated and movable cultural heritage. Since this heritage was transferred into its care in 2012, PSML has invested in particular in its renovation, requalification and revitalisation and in improving its accessibility, both in terms of physical access to its visitor circuit and access to information on the collection open to the public. Providing information on the collections exhibited at the palaces is therefore one of the priorities of dissemination and visitor support. In the knowledge that the Internet and new technologies have radically changed the way in which people seek and relate to cultural heritage, PSML has manifested a special interest in digital media. This is especially noticeable in the case of MatrizNet, a collective online catalogue of Portugal’s national museums and palaces which currently allows access to around 4,634 inventory records on the movable cultural assets in the collections of the Palaces of Sintra, Queluz and Pena; participation in international projects such as Europeana, Museum With No Frontiers and Google Art Project; and the multimedia guide Talking Heritage. The latter is a free app for mobile devices that enables users to freely engage with and use the available multimedia content, incorporating inclusive resources such as sign language, spoken texts, gesture-based controls and geolocalisation, alongside 360º panoramic views with active items of interest, high-definition images and texts written by experts. 7 To these digital resources, which contribute to a better understanding and interpretation of the collections, is now added a publishing project designed to convey the results of recent research on the holdings of the Palaces of Sintra, Queluz and Pena – or others intimately linked to the royal family and its life in these places – in a thorough, didactic and accessible manner, combining appealing high-quality graphics with the markedly scientific component of the information. These publications consist of free and free-to-access monographs published and distributed in digital format in Portuguese, English and Spanish, creating a novel project within the context of the national palaces. Manuel Baptista Chairman of the Board of Directors Parques de Sintra - Monte da Lua, S.A. 8 BACK TO CONTENTS The National Palace of Sintra, a royal residence for almost eight centuries, conserves and exhibits a remarkable collection of paintings, furniture, ceramics, sculptures, textiles and metal objects from the 15th to the 19th century, most of which stemming from the Portuguese royal collections, alongside an

  • Artistic Fabrics, Unique Portraits (I)
    33 OPEN SOURCE LANGUAGE VERSION > CATALÀ Artistic fabrics, unique portraits (I) by Sílvia Carbonell Basté Textil Museum and Documentation Centre PH.D. student Art History, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Photographs: ©CDMT, Quico Ortega Conserved in museums and private homes across Catalonia are a series of artistic fabrics – or woven artworks – that share many similarities with engravings and photographs but reflect a unique production technique popularised in a specific period in the history of the textile industry. These limited edition decorative fabrics generally feature portraits of illustrious figures (monarchs, politicians, military leaders, captains of industry), historical, religious or commemorative scenes, or reproductions of famous paintings, created in black and white silk on a Jacquard loom. In Catalonia, the majority of these fabrics were produced over the period between 1862 and 1974. These Jacquard pieces, originally referred to as artistic, or “singular”, fabrics, came to the museums from private owners who recognised their value in marking a crucial period in the transformation of the textile industry. The private collectors who donated the pieces all had a direct link of some sort to textile production, whether as teachers, theorists, merchants or artists. The fact that many of the fabrics bore the company name, the artist’s signature, the production date, or the name of the director and even the school at which they were plotted and weaved makes them, if nothing else, unique pieces, distinct from any other textile produced until that time and freely available on the market. These singular pieces also serve to illustrate the successful marriage of technology with the skill of the artist.

  • The Masters of Calatrava and the Castilian Civil War 1350-1369
    The Masters of Calatrava and the Castilian Civil War 1350-1369 BY JOSEPH F. O'CALLAGHAN Düring the third quarter of the fourteenth Century the bitter civil war between King Pedro the Cruel (1350-1369) and his half-brother, Count Enrique of Trastamara, tore the kingdom of Castile asunder, dividing its leaders and people, allowing no one the privilege of neutrality. Prominent among the participants in the conflict were the masters of the military Order of Calatrava who, together with the masters of Santiago and Alcäntara, ranked among the great men of the realm. As the war progressed, the king and his challenger endeavored to control magisterial elections and, through them, the immense resources that the Order of Calatrava possessed in the modern provinces of Ciudad Real, Jaen, Cordoba, Seville, and so forth. The consequence was schism within the Order, the diversion of its interest and wealth to domestic politics rather than the reconquest, and an increasing brutalization of life, typified by the execution of one master by Pedro and another by Enrique. Above all, the civil war pointed up the crown's growing awareness of the need to subject all the military Orders to effective royal control. ^ Juan Nünez de Prado At the time of Pedro the CruePs accession to the throne in March 1350 at the youthful age of sixteen years, Juan Nünez de Prado was the master of Calatrava. The illegitimate son of a knight named Carpintero and Bianca, senora of Las Huelgas and daughter of King Afonso III of Portugal (1248-1279), he was legitimated in 1313, on his mother's request, 2 by Pope Clement V, and entered the Order of Calatrava.

  • The Patron Saints and Devotions of the Benedictine Military Orders (Portugal and Castile, 15-16Th Centuries)
    The Patron Saints and Devotions of the Benedictine Military Orders (Portugal and Castile, 15-16th Centuries) Paula Pinto Costa1 Raquel Torres Jiménez2 Joana Lencart3 Abstract This paper studies hagiographic devotion in the seigniories of the military orders: the Orders of Avis and Christ in Portugal and of Calatrava in Castile. Applying a common methodology and using similar sources for all three cases, this paper analyzes the written testimonies of the orders’ devotion to Christ and the Virgin Mary, as well as their veneration of the saints. These records were compiled from the visitations made to churches, hermitages, and confraternities between 1462 and 1539. The research was governed by two objectives: firstly, to construct a hagiographic overview of the selected territories by systematizing the data collected; and, secondly, to reflect on the typical devotional profile of the territories of the military orders as portrayed by the documentary evidence. Keywords Military orders; Calatrava; Avis; Christ; Hagiography; Medieval religiosity Resumo Este trabalho estuda a devoção hagiográfica nos senhorios das Ordens Militares de Avis e Cristo em Portugal, e de Calatrava em Castela. Usando metodologia e fontes comuns, são analisados testemunhos escritos da devoção a Cristo e à Virgem, bem como aos santos. Os visitadores compilaram estes registos durante as visitações às igrejas, ermidas e confrarias nos territórios dessas Ordens entre 1462 e 1539. Dois objetivos estão subjacentes a esta investigação: primeiro, construir uma visão hagiográfica geral dos territórios em estudo, sistematizando os dados coligidos e, segundo, refletir sobre as características específicas e o perfil devocional dos domínios das Ordens Militares.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 © Copyright by Sara Victoria Torres 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia by Sara Victoria Torres Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Christine Chism, Co-chair Professor Lowell Gallagher, Co-chair My dissertation, “Marvelous Generations: Lancastrian Genealogies and Translation in Late Medieval and Early Modern England and Iberia,” traces the legacy of dynastic internationalism in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and early-seventeenth centuries. I argue that the situated tactics of courtly literature use genealogical and geographical paradigms to redefine national sovereignty. Before the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, before the divorce trials of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon in the 1530s, a rich and complex network of dynastic, economic, and political alliances existed between medieval England and the Iberian kingdoms. The marriages of John of Gaunt’s two daughters to the Castilian and Portuguese kings created a legacy of Anglo-Iberian cultural exchange ii that is evident in the literature and manuscript culture of both England and Iberia. Because England, Castile, and Portugal all saw the rise of new dynastic lines at the end of the fourteenth century, the subsequent literature produced at their courts is preoccupied with issues of genealogy, just rule, and political consent. Dynastic foundation narratives compensate for the uncertainties of succession by evoking the longue durée of national histories—of Trojan diaspora narratives, of Roman rule, of apostolic foundation—and situating them within universalizing historical modes.

  • Meadows Museum Announces Acquisition of an Important Portrait by Bartolomé González Y Serrano
    MEADOWS MUSEUM ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF AN IMPORTANT PORTRAIT BY BARTOLOMÉ GONZÁLEZ Y SERRANO Museum Also Adds Three 18th- and 19th-century Drawings by Major Spanish Artists to its Collection DALLAS (SMU)—August 19, 2021— The Meadows Museum, SMU, announced today that it has acquired a rare signed and dated portrait by Bartolomé González y Serrano (1564–1627) titled Portrait of a Lady (1621). The portrait is of an unknown woman from the court of either King Philip III or his son, King Philip IV. The painting was made at a pivotal moment in Spanish history, which saw the movement of the imperial capital from Valladolid (Castile) to Madrid and, one year later, the arrival of Diego Velázquez (1599–1660) at court, who would go on to revolutionize the genre of portraiture by re-envisioning the model offered by González y Serrano and his predecessors. It is the first work by González y Serrano to enter the Meadows’s collection, and is one of only a few portraits by the painter outside of Spain. The painting was purchased at auction from Christie’s, London, and was subsequently treated by Claire Barry, Director of Conservation Emerita, Kimbell Art Museum, whose removal of yellowed varnish restored the painting’s vivid colors and delicate details. Portrait of a Lady will be on view from August 21st in the museum’s Jake and Nancy Hamon Galleries. All 29 members of the Meadows Museum Advisory Council contributed funds for the painting’s purchase, which was made in honor of Mark A. Roglán, the Linda P. and William A.

Scenographic Interventions in Portuguese Romantic Architecture ABSTRACT When Kant established the noumenon1 as the limit of knowledge in his Critique of Judgment, he set off a reaction among the most distinguished philosophers of the infinite: Fischte, Schilling, and Hegel. This consciousness of the infinite and its analysis through the feeling of the sublime was the basis of all European Romanticism, as well as of the artistic currents that flowed from it. Although the theme of the sublime has been studied since Longinus, it was Hegel who extended the concept through the analysis of space and time in his The Philosophy of Nature, because nature as de-termination2 of the idea necessarily falls in space and time.3 Consequently, the artistic achievement of that era could only be a figurative representation of the sublime and the integration of all arts in a whole with the purpose of awakening the feeling of Gesamtkunstwerk.
