As you read through this tenth edition issue of “Global Connections,” work has just been completed on Siena Hall, and we are in the planning phases for The Public Square, a 60,000 foot structure that will provide ample space for students to socialize, interact, and learn. Molloy has also been recognized by U.S.News and World Report as one of the outstanding institutions of its kind in the Northeastern United States. These achievements are a credit to the entire Molloy Community and we all have a great deal about which to be proud. Of course, one source of great pride has been the remarkable growth that we have witnessed in the Global-Learning programs offered by the College. During the past year Molloy students and faculty have been to East Africa, India, Spain, Belgium, Thailand, Eastern Europe, Greece, France and Italy. Next year, the College will initiate its ambitious new Freshman Foundations Program, which will allow first-year students to travel to Austria, Mexico and Costa Rica as part of their normal freshman program of study. Over the past few years, Molloy has transformed itself into one of the best colleges on Long Island for international education, providing programs that are the envy of much larger institutions. Thanks to the initiative of the faculty, staff and administrators in the Global-Learning Office, Molloy now offers a wider variety of interesting overseas opportunities than just about any other college in the region. And that is no small achievement! I believe that these programs are important for a number of reasons. First, most educators readily acknowledge that experiential education in all its forms represents one of the best ways to learn about any subject. We all know that when students have the opportunity to connect what they are learning in the classroom with real life experiences, education becomes considerably more interesting and relevant to them. By connecting overseas Dr. Drew Bogner with Honors Roman Studies participants travel to course content, global-learning provides Molloy students with the opportunity to become captivated by a subject, enabling them to learn about a subject in a deeper and more profound way than would otherwise be possible. Secondly, it is vitally important for American students in general to gain an understanding and appreciation for cultures other than their own, especially in a world such as ours, which is becoming increasingly interconnected. We are living, after all, in a global economy, one in which the traditional boundaries and divisions between countries are gradually becoming blurred. Most economists agree that in a relatively short amount of time the United States will no longer be the world’s sole economic and military superpower. We will be receiving serious competition from places like China and India as well as from the nations of Southeast Asia and Europe. In order to compete in the global economy of the future, we will need a much greater fluency in foreign languages and much deeper understanding of the cultural, religious and historical traditions of other peoples. In short, if our students are going to become the future movers and shakers of our society, participation in the kind of programs offered by the Global-Learning Office will be one of the keys to their success. Finally, we here at Molloy strongly believe that real education should not only effectively prepare students for their future careers, but should also be transformative in nature. Having experienced our Global-Learning programs first-hand, I am well aware that students who study overseas come back home profoundly changed by their experiences. They return more confident about themselves, more aware of the world around them, and more sensitive to the needs of those less fortunate than themselves. The administration and faculty of Molloy take Global-Learning so seriously that we have made the commitment to ensure that all Molloy students—regardless of their income levels—will have the opportunity to avail themselves of this wonderful opportunity. At the present time, Molloy not only offers one of the widest varieties of overseas programs of any college in the area, but our overseas programs are also among the most affordable of any college. This kind of investment in global-learning may not come cheaply, but we at Molloy believe our students are worth it! Sincerely, Drew Bogner, Ph.D. President outside the Office rather than miss out on the opportunity to study Renaissance art in Italy or Zen meditation in Japan.

RUSSELL has been approved for the School of Art + Design and the College of Fine Arts by Marilyn Bradshaw Professor of Art History Margaret Kennedy-Dygas Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract RUSSELL, SANDRA E., M.A., May 2015, Art History Donatello’s Terracotta Louvre Madonna: A Consideration of Structure and Meaning Director of Thesis: Marilyn Bradshaw A large relief at the Musée du Louvre, Paris (R.F. 353), is one of several examples of the Madonna and Child in terracotta now widely accepted as by Donatello (c. 1386-1466). A medium commonly used in antiquity, terracotta fell out of favor until the Quattrocento, when central Italian artists became reacquainted with it. Terracotta was cheap and versatile, and sculptors discovered that it was useful for a range of purposes, including modeling larger works, making life casts, and molding. Reliefs of the half- length image of the Madonna and Child became a particularly popular theme in terracotta, suitable for domestic use or installation in small chapels. Donatello’s Louvre Madonna presents this theme in a variation unusual in both its form and its approach. In order to better understand the structure and the meaning of this work, I undertook to make some clay works similar to or suggestive of it.

  • A New Chronology of the Construction and Restoration of the Medici Guardaroba in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence
    A NEW CHRONOLOGY OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND RESTORATION OF THE MEDICI GUARDAROBA IN THE PALAZZO VECCHIO, FLORENCE by Mark Rosen One of the most unusual projects overseen by Giorgio Vasari in the Palazzo Vecchio in Flor- ence, the Guardaroba is a trapezoidal room containing a late-sixteenth-century cycle of fi fty-three geographical maps of the earth affi xed in two tiers to the front of a series of wooden cabinets (fi g. 1). Vasari published a detailed program for the Guardaroba project in the second edition of “Le vite de’ piu eccellenti pittori scultori e architettori” in 15681, at a moment when the project, begun in 1563, was still in development. The program defi nes it as a complete cosmography of the known universe, with maps, globes, painted constellations, illustrations of fl ora and fauna, and portraits of great historical leaders. Rarities and artworks placed inside the cabinets would act together with this custom-designed imagery to refl ect back on the name and charismatic persona of Vasari’s patron, Cosimo I de’ Medici (1519–1574). The idea and program behind the Medici Guardaroba had roots in late medieval studioli — small, womb-like study spaces that valorized private contemplation and collecting through complex humanistic decoration. Yet the goal of this new space was to be a public theater for the court’s cosmography and its power to collect and sort the duchy’s fi nest objects. The incomplete status of the room today — which includes only a series of empty cabinets, a terrestrial globe (1564–1568) by the Dominican scientist Egnazio Danti, and a cycle of maps painted by Danti (between 1563 and 1575) and Stefano Buonsignori (from 1576 through c.

  • MONTEPULCIANO's PALAZZO COMUNALE, 1440 – C.1465: RETHINKING CASTELLATED CIVIC PALACES in FLORENTINE ARCHITECTURAL and POLITI
    MONTEPULCIANO’S PALAZZO COMUNALE, 1440 – c.1465: RETHINKING CASTELLATED CIVIC PALACES IN FLORENTINE ARCHITECTURAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXTS Two Volumes Volume I Koching Chao Ph.D. University of York History of Art September 2019 ABSTRACT This thesis argues for the significance of castellated civic palaces in shaping and consolidating Florence’s territorial hegemony during the fifteenth century. Although fortress-like civic palaces were a predominant architectural type in Tuscan communes from the twelfth century onwards, it is an understudied field. In the literature of Italian Renaissance civic and military architecture, the castellated motifs of civic palaces have either been marginalised as an outdated and anti-classical form opposing Quattrocento all’antica taste, or have been oversimplified as a redundant object lacking defensive functionality. By analysing Michelozzo’s Palazzo Comunale in Montepulciano, a fifteenth-century castellated palace resembling Florence’s thirteenth-century Palazzo dei Priori, this thesis seeks to address the ways in which castellated forms substantially legitimised Florence’s political, military and cultural supremacy. Chapter One examines textual and pictorial representations of Florence’s castellation civic palaces and fortifications in order to capture Florentine perceptions of castellation. This investigation offers a conceptual framework, interpreting the profile of castellated civic palaces as an effective architectural affirmation of the contemporary idea of a powerful city-republic rather than being a symbol of despotism as it has been previously understood. Chapters Two and Three examine Montepulciano’s renovation project for the Palazzo Comunale within local and central administrative, socio-political, and military contexts during the first half of the fifteenth century, highlighting the Florentine features of Montepulciano’s town hall despite the town’s peripheral location within the Florentine dominion.

This study examines how Cosimo used the politics of the sacred to legitimate monarchical rule in a city in which sacral monarchy had no historical precedent and few indigenous traditions. Utilizing a broad sweep of sources including government documents, letters, testaments, sermons, devotional literature, humanist tracts, diaries, art, and monastery records, the dissertation argues that Cosimo and his literati borrowed only the models of sacral monarchy that could be inscribed in local cultural and religious assumptions, the mundane axioms and organizing principles of thought with which Florentines and Tuscans made sense of their daily reality. In a sentence, Cosimo‟s grandiose political claims worked because they were only a special case of more generalized assumptions writ deeply into both the intellectual and quotidian experience of Florentine life.
