Powazek is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS International Projects with a Local Emphasis: The Collecting and Representation of Saxon Identity in the Dresden Kunstkammer and Princely Monuments in Freiberg Cathedral by Daniel A. Powazek Master of Arts, Graduate Program in Art History University of California, Riverside, June 2020 Dr. Kristoffer Neville, Chairperson When the Albertine Dukes of Saxony gained the Electoral privilege in the second half of the sixteenth century, they ascended to a higher echelon of European princes. Elector August (r. 1553-1586) marked this new status by commissioning a monumental tomb in Freiberg Cathedral in Saxony for his deceased brother, Moritz, who had first won the Electoral privilege for the Albertine line of rulers. The tomb’s magnificence and scale, completed in 1563, immediately set it into relation to the grandest funerary memorials of Europe, the tombs of popes and monarchs, and thus establishing the new Saxon Electors as worthy peers in rank and status to the most powerful rulers of the period. By the end of his reign, Elector August sought to enshrine the succeeding rulers of his line in an even grander project, a dynastic chapel built into Freiberg Cathedral directly in front of the tomb of Moritz. -

Trento: Encrucijada De Reformas
Studia Philologica Valentina Vol. 10, n.s. 7 (2007) 201-239 ISSN: 1135-9560 Trento: encrucijada de reformas Francisco Juan Martínez Rojas Seminario Diocesano de Jaén 1. INTRODUCCIÓN Narraré las causas y los manejos de una convocatoria eclesiástica [el concilio], en el curso de 22 años, para diversos nes y con varios medios por quien fue rechazada y solicitada, por quien fue impedida y diferida, y duran- te otros 18 años, unas veces reunida, otras disuelta, siempre celebrada con diversos nes, y que resultó todo lo contrario a la idea originaria de quien la favoreció y al temor de quien con diligencia la entorpeció: clara prueba de que hay que apoyar los pensamientos en Dios y no arse de la prudencia de los hombres. Este concilio, deseado y procurado por los hombres piadosos para reunir a la Iglesia que empezaba a dividirse, ha sancionado el cisma y obstinado a las partes de manera que ha creado discordias irreconciliables, y mientras ha sido utilizado por los príncipes para la reforma del estado eclesiástico, ha causado la mayor deformación jamás conocida para quien vive el cristianis- mo; y habiendo sido esperado el concilio por los obispos para reconquistar la autoridad episcopal, transferida en gran parte al romano pontí ce, se la ha hecho perder enteramente, reduciéndolos a la mayor esclavitud. En la parte contraria, habiendo sido temido y rechazado por la corte de Roma como e caz medio para moderar su exorbitado poder, que habiendo sido pequeño en su inicio, había alcanzado proporciones desmedidas, ha establecido de tal manera ese poder y lo ha a rmado sobre la parte que le estaba sujeta, como nunca lo fue.1 El concilio de Trento ha puesto en un segundo plano al resto de los con- cilios por su duración, y más aún, por su tempestuosa actividad multiforme, por la profundidad y pureza de sus decisiones doctrinales, por la sabiduría de sus decisiones doctrinales y canónicas, por el número y calidad de los especialistas que intervinieron, y nalmente, por su e cacia (S. -

ALLA CORRENTE Isabella D'este
ALLA CORRENTE Isabella d’Este Isabella d’Este (May 18, 1474–February 13, 1539) was one of the most noted women of the Italian Renaissance who played a key role in Italian politics and culture. I have always been fascinated by her since she was such an influential person during an age that was dominated by men. She represents, for me, another side of the Renaissance that sometimes is ignored by historians who focus on the upheaval and tension of the period. Isabella d’Este was Marchesa of Mantua and was a patron of the arts as well as a leader of fashion, whose innovative style of dressing was copied by women throughout Italy and at the French court. She served as the regent of Mantua during the absence of her husband, Francesco II Gonzaga, the Marquess of Mantua, and during the minority of her son, Federico, Duke of Mantua. In 1500 she met King Louis XII of France in Milan on a diplomatic mission to persuade him not to send his troops against Mantua. She was born in Ferrara on May 18, 1474 to Ercole I d’Este, Duke Isabella d’Este (1474–1539) of Ferrara and Leonora of Naples. Leonora was the daughter of Ferdinand I, the Aragonese King of Naples, and his wife Isabella of Taranto. Isabella d’Este received a fine classical education and met many famous humanist scholars and artists. One year later on June 29, 1475 her sister Beatrice d’Este was born, and in 1476 and 1477 two brothers, Alfonso and Ippolito arrived. -
Pruning and Propagating Civic Behaviour: Three Feste in and Around Santa Maria Della Vittoria in Mantua, 1495-97
1 Pruning and propagating civic behaviour: three feste in and around Santa Maria della Vittoria in Mantua, 1495-97 Abstract: The Gonzaga of Mantua, in common with other ruling houses, were accustomed to utilising the occasions of religious feasts to promote social cohesion, civic pride and dynastic loyalty. This paper examines three such festive celebrations, to show how the Marquis of Mantua, Francesco II, and his court advisors could turn them to Gonzaga advantage. Each year on the Feast of the Ascension, the population of Mantua was swollen with pilgrims drawn to the city to venerate the relic of the Most Precious Blood of Christ held in the church of Sant’ Andrea. The processional route passed by the house of a Jew, lying somewhat apart from the city’s Jewish ghetto. With permission, the Jew had removed from its exterior a fresco of the Virgin, Christ Child and saints. During the vigil of Ascension Day 1495, stirred by anti-Jewish sentiment, the processing crowd erupted into a riot in which the Jew’s house was vandalised. To compensate for the removal of the holy image, despite his having secured prior consent, the unfortunate Jew was made to pay the expenses of having a new painting made, the Madonna della Vittoria by Andrea Mantegna, today displayed in the Louvre. The painting was a votive altarpiece, to give thanks to the Virgin for having saved the marquis in battle and his victory at Fornovo on 6 July 1495. On the twelve-month anniversary of the battle, a lavish commemoration was organised, whereby the finished canvas was solemnly processed through the streets of Mantua from Mantegna’s house to Santa Maria della Vittoria, a little church hurriedly erected to receive the painting on the site of the expunged fresco. -

Mack [email protected] During the second half of the fifteenth century, lavish displays of luxurious textile ensembles became obligatory on grand occasions in Italian courts and city states. Such displays demonstrated the political and cultural power of persons, families, and governments. Among the courts of northern Italy, competition was so keen that rulers and their spouses personally took charge of new purchases, and temporary loans from family and friends. Voluminous correspondence documents the quantities and qualities calibrated to the occasion. For example, in 1468, Duchess Bianca Maria Sforza of Milan assembled -

It will be alive to the best writing of a transnational and comparative nature and will cross canonical chronological divides of the Central Middle Ages, the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. Renaissance History, Art and Culture intends to spark new ideas and encourage debate on the meanings, extent and influence of the Renaissance within the broader European world. It encourages engagement by scholars across disciplines – history, literature, art history, musicology, and possibly the social sciences – and focuses on ideas and collective mentalities as social, political, and cultural movements that shaped a changing world from ca 1250 to 1650.

Lazzarini, Isabella. Il Linguaggio Del Territorio Fra Principe E Comunità
[https://commons.warburg.sas.ac.uk/downloads/5t34sj573] Lazzarini, Isabella. Il linguaggio del territorio fra principe e comunità. 2009 Book Abstract: In April 1479, the communities of the marquisate of Mantua pronounced for the first time a general oath of fealty to Federico Gonzaga, the third marquis, inaugurating a custom that was to be repeated with relative regularity in the following decades every time a Prince died. It was a practice which was fairly new for the Gonzago marquisate, at least in this capillary and general extension to the entire body of the State. The significance of an innovation of this kind deserves attention, as do the genesis and the partial forms that preceded this mature expression. This book comprises an edition of the entire related documentary corpus, complete with photographic reproductions of the individual documents, and preceded by a substantial introduction in which the event is described, placed in context and interpreted from various points of view. Le comunità del marchesato di Mantova pronunciarono per la prima volta un generale giuramento di fedeltà a Federico Gonzaga terzo marchese nell'aprile 1479, inaugurando un uso che si sarebbe ripetuto con relativa continuità nei decenni successivi ad ogni morte del principe. Si tratta di una pratica relativamente nuova per il marchesato gonzaghesco, almeno in questa capillare e generale estensione all'intero corpo dello stato: il significato di una innovazione di questo genere merita attenzione, come anche la genesi e le forme parziali che hanno preceduto questa forma matura. In questo volume si dà l'edizione dell'intero corpus documentario relativo, integrata dalla riproduzione fotografica dei singoli documenti, e preceduta da una corposa introduzione che punta a inserire il case- study mantovano nel recente, articolato dibattito intorno alla costruzione e alla crescita di linguaggi politici diversificati nel tardo medioevo italiano. -
