    The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adam R. Gustafson June 2011 © 2011 Adam R. Gustafson All Rights Reserved 2 This dissertation titled The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria by ADAM R. GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.

  • From Nuremberg to the Hague
    From Nuremberg to The Hague: Teaching from the Past - Challenges for the Future Background: Making War More “Civilized” Efforts to mitigate the impact of military conflicts extend well back into the 19th century. One turning point came with Henry Dunant’s experiences in Italy in 1859, when more than 30,000 dead and wounded were left untended or unburied after the battle of Solferino. Dunant did what he could to help the wounded and care for the dead on the battlefield, but his options were very limited. He then went on to advocate founding a neutral entity to care for the wounded – a desire that met with widespread support. The new organization, founded in 1863, would name itself the “International Committee of the Red Cross” (ICRC) in 1876. By August 1864, twelve countries had already adopted the first Geneva Convention for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded in Armies in the Field (the “First Geneva Convention”). But the Red Cross and Geneva Convention focused “only” on such casualties as wounded soldiers and prisoners of war, not the way in which war itself was waged (ius in bello) or the right to wage war (ius ad bellum). Ten years later, at the Brussels Conference of August 1874, a group of countries entered into negotiations on the “Laws and Customs of War.” While the Brussels declaration failed to take effect for lack of adequate ratification, 25 years later the treaties based on it – the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 – brought a breakthrough. The Hague Conventions on Land Warfare prohibited certain means and methods of waging war, and can be viewed as an attempt to civilize the very process of waging war itself.
