  • The Meaning of the European Painted Portrait, 1400-1650
    21 The Meaning of the European Painted Portrait, 1400–1650 Joanna Woods-Marsden This essay seeks to interpret the historical meaning of European portraits from the early fifteenth to the mid-seventeenth century by reintegrating them into the context of contemporary religious and philosophical systems of ideas, ideological structures of power, and, wherever possible, the social circumstances of their sitters. (A portrait’s subject is commonly referred to as a “sitter,” even when this figure stands.) Restricting itself to painted images created in Italy and the Netherlands, the two centers that produced the most innovative works in the genre, the essay further explores issues of gender difference and reception as well as the art form’s formal development. Addressing, first, images of the single figure during the whole period, then paired likenesses, and finally group portraits, the essay starts with works that reflect the culture of late medieval Italy and ends on the cusp of our modern world by considering paintings from baroque Holland. Throughout the period, portraiture was class-specific; only the features of the socially and economically privileged were recorded. In 1435, the theorist Leon Battista Alberti conceived of the portrait as a sign of the sitter’s role in society, in which male identity was politically – and that of the female socially – determined. Identity, which was established by birth, centered on the “role” and was essen- tially social rather than personal.1 An individual’s sense of place within society was defined collectively, with the family as the primary point of reference and great importance being attributed to social rank.

Box 8795 Williamsburg, Virginia 23187-8795 AUTHOR: Meg Greene Malvasi PROJECT DIRECTOR: Joe B. Jones 2006 i ABSTRACT In the winter of 2005 and early spring of 2006, the William and Mary Center for Ar- chaeological Research conducted reconnaissance and intensive architectural surveys of properties in the Tidewater cities of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach. The goal of the project was to document houses built from kits manu- factured by Sears, Roebuck, and Company in the five cities. Limited to a total of 195 reconnaissance surveys and 10 intensive surveys, the study is by no means exhaustive. Instead, the results and interpretation are intended to provide a baseline of information about kit houses within the five participating Tidewater cities and form a foundation for future research on kit houses in the region.
