Having a great interest in European and political history, I'm eager to observe how the court balances issues regarding the French economy and foreign policy, all the while maintaining a good relationship with the King regardless of in-court politics. About me: I'm double majoring in Computer Science and Business at Cal, with a minor in Public Policy. I've been involved in MUN in both the high school and college circuits for 6 years now. Besides MUN, I'm also involved in tech startup incubation and consulting both on and off-campus. When I'm free, I'm either binging TV (favorite shows are Game of Thrones, House of Cards, and Peaky Blinders) or rooting for the Lakers. -

Off the High Horse: Human-Animal Relations on Public Monuments
Off the High Horse: Human-Animal Relations on Public Monuments This month, the suit concerning the removal of the equestrian statue of Robert E. Lee in Richmond, VA will proceed to trial. A different way to deal with a troubling monument is to place another one nearby to convey an opposing message, and several such corrective statues have appeared near Monument Avenue over the past twenty-five years. In this paper I explore two of these, focusing on the role of the horse. Although the spirited stallion in Kehinde Wiley’s “Rumors of War” (2019) stands in marked contrast to the emaciated beast of burden in Tessa Pullan’s “War Horse” (1997), I argue that both depictions have their roots in antiquity: the former in monumental art, the latter in literature. Thus Wiley’s sculpture adapts the tradition of the equestrian statue, popular in both Greece and Rome, using the animal to showcase the power and superiority of the human rider, while Pullan’s invites viewers to reach beyond the social constructs of friend and foe as well as boundaries of species between human and animal in a manner reminiscent of Homer. In an equestrian statue the horse serves multiple functions; from a practical perspective, it elevates the honoree to a point of greater visibility, while on a more symbolic level it can illustrate characteristics of the rider. In the statue of Marcus Aurelius from the Capitoline Hill, for example, both horse and rider assume a calm and balanced posture, while Wiley’s ensemble exaggerates the impetuous movement of his model, Moynihan’s equestrian statue of Stuart (1907), but also evokes more distant predecessors, from Mills’ groundbreaking depiction of Andrew Jackson (1853) all the way to the Alexander Mosaic and the cavalcade on the Parthenon freeze. -

Louis XIV: Art as Persuasion Supporting the Dominance of France in 17th Century Europe Matthew D. Noblett 11/30/10 Dr. James Hutson ART 55400.31 Lindenwood University Noblett 1 In 17th century France there was national funding combined with strict controls placed on the arts and all areas of the administration of Louis XIV. This was imperative to present the country as one of the greatest European powers of its time. It was done by creating personas of Louis as the Sun King, sole administrator of France or “'L'etat c' est moi” (I am the State) and conqueror. All were reinforced and often invented in rigid confines through state funded propaganda. His name has become synonymous with the French arts of the 17th century through significant investments in all forms of media, from poetry, music and theatre to painting, sculpture and architecture. -

This Exquisite Bronze Group Portrays the French Queen Marie Leczinska (1703-1768), Wife of King Louis XV (1710-1774), As The
MARIE LECZINSKA AS JUNO Bronze, on ormolu base Late 18th – early 19th Century, After a model by Guillaume Coustou the Elder (1677-1746) H 76 cm (with base) H 30 in This exquisite bronze group portrays the French Queen Marie Leczinska (1703-1768), wife of King Louis XV (1710-1774), as the Roman goddess Juno, the protectress and special counselor of the state. The qu een is depicted draped in the robes of a classical goddess and standing on a cloud. In her right hand she is holding the Crown of France, while a putto on her left offers her a scepter. Her right hand rests on a shield sporting the coat of arms of the French Monarchy. A peacock, Juno’s sacred animal, is sitting at her feet, curiously looking around. The deified queen is presented in a very individualized and youthful manner with extraordinary vividness and great charm. www.nicholaswells.com This group was closely modeled after a life-size marble original by Guillaume Coustou the Elder (1677-1746), that is currently part of the collection of sculptures of the Louvre (MR 1813) after having adorned a great number of royal residences throughout its existence. The original marble version of the group was commissioned in 1725, probably by the Directeur général des Bâtiments du Roi, the Duke of Antin. Guillaume Coustou the Elder seems to have been the logical choice for the project, since, at the time, his elder brother Nicolas had already started working on a pendant composition representing Louis XV as Jupiter (Louvre, MR 1811). For creating Marie Leczinska as Juno The Duchess of Burgundy as Diana, Coustou took some inspiration from the 1710, French, marble, by A. -
