This itinerary will not only include the finest examples in Dublin itself, but also takes us out of the city to a number of Georgian mansions, some still in private ownership. The tour will be led by Roger White, an architectural historian specialising in the Georgian period, formerly Secretary of both the Georgian Group and Garden History Society. His recent book on the cottage orné genre has been widely and enthusiastically reviewed.

Neoclassical Rathfarnham Castle, austere Townley Hall, the water garden at Kilruddery Castle and the romantic Shell Cottage at Carton are all included. We have left time for independent exploration – the Book of Kells, the newly revamped National Gallery of Ireland and the National Museum all deserve a visitor’s time.

    Profile of a Plant: the Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE By

    Profile of a Plant: The Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE by Benjamin Jon Graham A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Paolo Squatriti, Chair Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes Professor Richard P. Tucker Professor Raymond H. Van Dam © Benjamin J. Graham, 2014 Acknowledgements Planting an olive tree is an act of faith. A cultivator must patiently protect, water, and till the soil around the plant for fifteen years before it begins to bear fruit. Though this dissertation is not nearly as useful or palatable as the olive’s pressed fruits, its slow growth to completion resembles the tree in as much as it was the patient and diligent kindness of my friends, mentors, and family that enabled me to finish the project. Mercifully it took fewer than fifteen years. My deepest thanks go to Paolo Squatriti, who provoked and inspired me to write an unconventional dissertation. I am unable to articulate the ways he has influenced my scholarship, teaching, and life. Ray Van Dam’s clarity of thought helped to shape and rein in my run-away ideas. Diane Hughes unfailingly saw the big picture—how the story of the olive connected to different strands of history. These three people in particular made graduate school a humane and deeply edifying experience. Joining them for the dissertation defense was Richard Tucker, whose capacious understanding of the history of the environment improved this work immensely. In addition to these, I would like to thank David Akin, Hussein Fancy, Tom Green, Alison Cornish, Kathleen King, Lorna Alstetter, Diana Denney, Terre Fisher, Liz Kamali, Jon Farr, Yanay Israeli, and Noah Blan, all at the University of Michigan, for their benevolence.

This hiatus is generally supposed to be a time when Art was utterly dead and buried, its corpse in Byzantine dress lying embalmed in its tomb at Ravenna. But all death is nothing but the germ of new life.

    Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530

    PALPABLE POLITICS AND EMBODIED PASSIONS: TERRACOTTA TABLEAU SCULPTURE IN ITALY, 1450-1530 by Betsy Bennett Purvis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto ©Copyright by Betsy Bennett Purvis 2012 Palpable Politics and Embodied Passions: Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530 Doctorate of Philosophy 2012 Betsy Bennett Purvis Department of Art University of Toronto ABSTRACT Polychrome terracotta tableau sculpture is one of the most unique genres of 15th- century Italian Renaissance sculpture. In particular, Lamentation tableaux by Niccolò dell’Arca and Guido Mazzoni, with their intense sense of realism and expressive pathos, are among the most potent representatives of the Renaissance fascination with life-like imagery and its use as a powerful means of conveying psychologically and emotionally moving narratives. This dissertation examines the versatility of terracotta within the artistic economy of Italian Renaissance sculpture as well as its distinct mimetic qualities and expressive capacities. It casts new light on the historical conditions surrounding the development of the Lamentation tableau and repositions this particular genre of sculpture as a significant form of figurative sculpture, rather than simply an artifact of popular culture. In terms of historical context, this dissertation explores overlooked links between the theme of the Lamentation, the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, codes of chivalric honor and piety, and resurgent crusade rhetoric spurred by the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Reconnected to its religious and political history rooted in medieval forms of Sepulchre devotion, the terracotta Lamentation tableau emerges as a key monument that both ii reflected and directed the cultural and political tensions surrounding East-West relations in later 15th-century Italy.

    Leonardo Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (Anchiano, 15 aprile 1452 – Amboise, 2 maggio 1519) è stato un inventore, artista e scienziato italiano. Uomo d'ingegno e talento universale del Rinascimento, considerato uno dei più grandi geni dell'umanità, incarnò in pieno lo spirito della sua epoca, portandolo alle maggiori forme di espressione nei più disparati campi dell'arte e della conoscenza: fu infatti scienziato, filosofo, architetto, pittore, scultore, disegnatore, trattati sta, scenografo, anatomista, botanico, musicista, ingegnere e progettista. Nella bottega del Verrocchio Diventando ormai sempre più evidente l'interesse del giovane Leonardo nel "disegnare et il fare di rilievo, come cose che gl'andavano a fantasia più d'alcun'altra", ser Piero mandò infine il figlio, dal 1469 o 1470, nella bottega di Andrea del Verrocchio, che in quegli anni era una delle più importanti di Firenze, nonché una vera e propria fucina di nuovi talenti. Tra i suoi allievi figuravano nomi che sarebbero diventati i grandi maestri della successiva generazione, come Sandro Botticelli, Perugino, Domenico Ghirlandaio e Lorenzo di Credi, e la bottega espletava un'attività poliedrica, dalla pittura alle varie tecniche scultoree (su pietra, fusione a cera persa e intaglio ligneo), fino alle arti "minori". Soprattutto veniva stimolata la pratica del disegno, portando tutti i collaboratori a un linguaggio pressoché comune, tanto che ancora oggi può risultare molto difficile l'attribuzione delle opere uscite dalla bottega alla mano del maestro oppure a un determinato allievo. Si conoscono vari esempi di disegni di panneggi usciti dalla sua bottega, che derivano da esercizi che il maestro faceva fare copiando le pieghe dei tessuti sistemati su modelli di terra.

    500 Years After Leonardo Da Vinci's Death, His Genius Will Be On

    AiA Art News-service 500 Years After Leonardo da Vinci’s Death, His Genius Will Be on Display in Dozens of Exhibitions Around the World A worldwide celebration of the Renaissance master kicks off today in the UK. Sarah Cascone, January 31, 2019 Leonardo da Vinci, The Skull Sectioned (1489). Courtesy of the Royal Collection Trust. © Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2018. Today, a dozen museums across the UK are simultaneously opening “Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing,” an exhibition of the famed Renaissance artist’s work to mark the 500th anniversary his death, on May 2, 1519. The coordinated British exhibitions—which are part of a larger worldwide celebration of the artist, inventor, architect, and all -around genius—draw from the UK’s Royal Collection Trust, which has sent a dozen drawings from Windsor Castle to each of the 12 participating institutions. Leonardo made “more drawings than any artist of the period” and “more words in manuscripts than anyone from the period in any field,” Martin Clayton, the head of prints and drawings at the Royal Collection Trust, told The Art Newspaper. “You can grasp the whole Leonardo by looking at the drawings.” Leonardo da Vinci, The Head of Leda (circa 1505–08). Courtesy of the Royal Collection Trust/©Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II 2018. To determine which drawings went to which museums, the trust organized 12 batches of works, each balanced to reflect Leonardo’s wide range of interests, and had the institutions choose the sets at random. Highlights include Leonardo’s “invisible ink” works, a skull cross-section featuring his signature “mirror” writing, and two drapery studies for Salvator Mundi, now the most expensive painting ever sold.
