  • AND the JEWISH EXPERIENCE the Berger Print Collection GALLERY GUIDE
    AND THE JEWISH EXPERIENCE The Berger Print Collection GALLERY GUIDE This exhibition is organized by Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, California. The presentation of this exhibition at Telfair Museums is curated by Courtney McNeil, Chief Curator & Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs. The works in this binder are organized alphabetically by the title of the print. An image of the work precedes the label text. All works are by Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669) unless otherwise noted. All works courtesy of the Collection of Howard and Fran Berger, Gift to the Westmont-Ridley Tree Museum of Art. Abraham and Isaac, 1645 Etching and drypoint on laid paper B.34, I/II (White & Boon only state); H. 214 Rembrandt represents the patriarch and his son just prior to Abraham’s attempt to sacrifice Isaac. Abraham is portrayed as obedient to God’s command, yet in anguish, in contrast to the young Isaac, who accepts his fate. For Christians, this scene is often interpreted as a precursor to the crucifixion of Christ in the New Testament. Within the context of Judaism, this narrative serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to God’s will and his divine plan. This etching captures the diverse breadth of style of Rembrandt’s etched line work. His use of drypoint enhances the sense of weighty volume and velvety texture of Abraham’s and Isaac’s garments. Abraham Casting Out Hagar and Ishmael, 1637 Etching and drypoint on laid paper B.30, I/I (White & Boon only state); H. 149 Here, the beloved Jewish-Christian patriarch Abraham reluctantly exiles his first-born son, Ishmael, and the boy’s mother, Hagar.

  • Carole Levin and Charles Beem This Series Brings Together Monographs
    QUEENSHIP AND POWER Series Editors: Carole Levin and Charles Beem This series brings together monographs, edited volumes, and textbooks from scholars specializing in gender analysis, women’s studies, literary interpretation, and cultural, political, constitutional, and diplomatic history. It aims to broaden our understanding of the strategies that queens—both consorts and regnants, as well as female regents— pursued in order to wield political power within the structures of male-dominant soci- eties. In addition to works describing European queenship, it also includes books on queenship as it appeared in other parts of the world, such as East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Islamic civilization.

With its more than 2500 square meters, the Espace Ravel within Monaco’s cultural center provides a unique setting for a spectacular presentation. This year, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco’s summer exhibition coincides with an exceptional event: the marriage of HSH the prince Albert II with Mademoiselle Charlene Wittstock. As an echo of this great moment in the life of the Principality, the Grimaldi Forum has chosen as its summer exhibition theme The Magnificence and Grandeur of the Courts of Europe. The exhibition will be shown from July 11 to September 11. This genuine voyage back in time, from the 17th up to the 20th century, will enable visitors for the first time ever to enter into twenty European Courts, where they will encounter the great imperial and royal figures. During this splendid journey, a true “European tour,” visitors will meet: - The kings of Portugal, Joseph I, Louis I and Queen Maria Pia; - Philip V, grandson of Louis XIV, king of Spain, and Elisabeth, heir to the fabulous Farnese collections; - Napoleon and Josephine and the

  • Queens Oeindrila Dube and S.P
    WORKING PAPER · NO. 2019-120 Queens Oeindrila Dube and S.P. Harish AUGUST 2019 5757 S. University Ave. Chicago, IL 60637 Main: 773.702.5599 bfi.uchicago.edu Queens ∗ Oeindrila Dubey S.P. Harishz University of Chicago and NBER College of William & Mary August 2019 Abstract Do states experience more peace under female leadership? We examine this ques- tion in the context of Europe over the 15th-20th centuries. We instrument queenly rule using gender of the first born and whether the previous monarchs had a sister. We find that polities led by queens participated in war more than polities led by kings. More- over, aggressive participation varied by marital status. Single queens were attacked more than single kings. However, married queens attacked more than married kings. These results suggest that asymmetries in the division of labor positioned married queens to be able to pursue more aggressive war policies.

  • A Transparent Dialogue Between Iconography
    Rodrigues et al. Herit Sci (2021) 9:22 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40494-021-00480-w RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A transparent dialogue between iconography and chemical characterisation: a set of foreign stained glasses in Portugal Alexandra Rodrigues1* , Mathilda Coutinho1,2, Andreia Machado1, Bruno A. Martinho3, Luís Cerqueira Alves4, Maria Filomena Macedo1,5 and Márcia Vilarigues1,5 Abstract This work presents the frst results of the iconographic study and analytical characterisation of a set of four stained- glass panels that are part of the collection of National Palace of Pena (Sintra, Portugal). These panels were collected by the King Ferdinand II in the mid-nineteenth century, for his main residence the Palace of Necessidades (Lisbon, Por- tugal), and only frst presented to the general public in 2011. This study contributes with the knowledge of Technical Art History and Heritage Science to a better and deeper understanding of their history, materials and techniques used in the production, where an art-historical and a scientifc approach are applied to attribute their origins. Based on the analysis of the formal and stylistic characteristic of the panels, it is proposed that the drawings used for the production of three of these panels may be based on the design and painting being carried out in the same workshop, and that the four panels have the same provenance (Germany). The composition of the glass and grisaille was determined and colourising elements were identifed. Through this approach, conclusive correlation between the analysed glasses was possible: all are calcium rich or calcium–potassium rich types, and the results also suggest that the same source of silica was used for their production.

Europe was not exception African had populated the isle long before Europe / Europa took its name: Europa (Greek Ευρώπη) was a Phoenician [black] woman in Greek mythology, from whom the name of the continent Europe has ultimately been taken. The etymology of her name (ευρυ- ʺwideʺ or ʺbroadʺ + οπ– ʺeye (s)ʺ or ʺfaceʺ)[2] suggests that Europa represented a lunar cow, at least at some symbolic level. Who was the Lunar Cow? Hathor In Egyptian mythology, Hathor (Egyptian for house of Horus) was originally a personification of the Milky Way, which was seen as the milk that flowed from the udders of a heavenly cow. Hathor was an ancient goddess, worshipped as a cow-deity from at least 2700 BC, during the 2nd dynasty, and possibly even by the Scorpion King. The name Hathor refers to the encirclement by her, in the form of the Milky Way, of the night sky and consequently of the god of the sky, Horus. She was originally seen as the daughter of Ra, the creator whose own cosmic birth was formalized as the Ogdoad [8] cosmogeny. An alternate name for her, which persisted for 3,000 years, was Mehturt (also spelt Mehurt, Mehet-Weret, and Mehet-uret), file://C:\Documents and Settings\Dejaz\My Documents\Negus-n..

  • Annotations for Alexander Von Humboldt's Political Essay on The
    Annotations for Alexander von Humboldt’s Political Essay on the Kingdom of New Spain by Giorleny D. Altamirano Rayos, Tobias Kraft, and Vera M. Kutzinski Unless context made it more sensible to do otherwise, we have annotated a reference or allusion at its first occurrence. Entries in boldface refer back to a main entry. The page numbers that precede each entry refer to the pagination of Alexander von Humboldt’s 1826 French edition; those page numbers are are printed in the margins of our translation of the Political Essay on the Kingdom of New Spain. In that edition, the names and concepts that appear in SMALL CAPS in the annotations are marked with an ▼. Weights and Measures What follows are some of the most common weights and measures that Alexander von Humboldt regularly uses. This is not an exhaustive list. ACRE: an old English unit of surface area equivalent to 4,840 square yards (or about 4,046.85 square meters) in the USA and Canada. The standard unit of measurement for surface area in the UK, an acre in its earliest English uses was probably the amount of land that one yoke of oxen could plow in a day. Its value varied slightly in Ireland, Scotland, and England. In France, the size of the acre varied depending on region. Humboldt states that an acre is 4,029 square meters. 2 ARPENT: a unit either of length or of land area used in France, Québec, and Louisiana from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century. The main measurement for land throughout France (sometimes called the French acre), the arpent varied in value depending on region.

  • Higher Education Course Study Days on Venetian Glass the Birth of the Great Museums: the Glassworks Collections Between the Renaissance and Revival
    Higher Education Course Study Days on Venetian Glass The Birth of the great museums: the glassworks collections between the Renaissance and Revival Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti 11th- 14th March 2015 glass venicein glass venicein Glass in Venice is based on an agreement between the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti and the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, presented on November 2012, on the occasion of the first edition of the Glass in Venice Prize. This agreement is the expression of the two Venetian institutions’ decision to launch a close collaboration for a series of events promoting the legacy of glass art on an international level. The aim is to support the lagoon city in its role as a cosmopolitan laboratory of culture and a meeting place for the masters of the exquisite Muranese art, artists, and institutions. The agreement, signed by the President of the Istituto Veneto, and the President of the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia, entails joint action regarding the Prize, the Study Days and the creation of a website that should become an authoritative source of information and documentation on Venetian glass and international glass production, up-to-date on the most important exhibitions and events. For the Istituto Veneto today, Glass in Venice is the natural outgrowth of its commitment to the art and technique of glass since the 19th Century. Among the Istituto’s cultural activities, especially in the past ten years, exhibitions, lectures, and, since last year, seminars for specialists have focused on the glass arts. The Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia and the Glass Museum of Murano play an essential role in promoting the preservation of this heritage and in diffusing knowledge about this ancient artistic expression.
