From 1974 to 1984 he enjoyed a decade as Director of Academic Programs at the FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY. In that capacity he redesigned and augmented the scope and appeal of SHAKESPEARE QUARTERLY, supervised the Library’s book-publishing operation, and orchestrated a period of dynamic growth in the FOLGER INSTITUTE, a center for advanced studies in the Renaissance whose outreach he extended and whose consortium grew under his guidance from five co-sponsoring universities to twenty-two, with Duke, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn, Penn State, Princeton, Rutgers, Virginia, and Yale among the additions. During his time at the Folger, Mr. Andrews also raised more than four million dollars in grant funds and helped organize and promote the library’s multifaceted eight- city touring exhibition, SHAKESPEARE: THE GLOBE AND THE WORLD, which opened in San Francisco in October 1979 and proceeded to popular engagements in Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, and Washington. Between 1979 and 1985 Mr. Andrews chaired America’s National Advisory Panel for THE SHAKESPEARE PLAYS, the BBC/TIME-LIFE TELEVISION canon. He then became one of the creative principals for THE SHAKESPEARE HOUR, a fifteen-week, five-play PBS recasting of the original series, with brief documentary segments in each installment to illuminate key themes; these one-hour programs aired in the spring of 1986 with Walter Matthau as host and Morgan Bank and NEH as primary sponsors.

Botticelli, Birth of Venus (1486) currently in the Uffizi, Florence The Birth of Venus is probably Botticelli's most famous painting and was commissioned by the Medici family. Venus rises from the sea, looking like a classical statue and floating on a seashell. On Venus' right is Zephyrus, God of Winds, he carries with him the gentle breeze Aura and together they blow the Goddess of Love ashore. The Horae, Goddess of the Seasons, waits to receive Venus and spreads out a flower covered robe in readiness for the Love Goddess' arrival. In what is surely one of the most recognizable images in art history, this image is significant because it attests to the revival of Greco-Roman forms to European art and gives form to the idea behind the Renaissance: a rebirth by using Classical knowledge.

  • A Walk Through MGM National Harbor
    A Walk Through MGM National Harbor Timeless design, impeccable service and spectacular amenities combine to create a new generation of resort experiences: MGM National Harbor, the first luxury gaming destination in the Capital Region. Guests will be drawn into the bold, forward-looking design and breathtaking spaces as they discover excitement at every turn: restaurants by some of the region’s most celebrated chefs, an intimate theater showcasing the hottest acts in entertainment, an immersive spa escape, luxurious rooms and suites and much more. MGM National Harbor will be the ultimate destination, whether for an evening of entertainment or an indulgent weekend getaway. Architecture Situated on a hill overlooking the Potomac River, MGM National Harbor serves as a landmark to the community and gateway into Maryland. The overarching vision of the resort draws inspiration from Washington D.C.’s monumental architecture while also incorporating the natural beauty of the surrounding area, including vistas of the Potomac River and annual cherry tree bloom. While respecting the District’s historic sense of place highlighted by classical structures, MGM National Harbor embodies a modern and bold design that complements the sense of timelessness created by the Nation’s Capital buildings. Designed by architecture visionaries HKS Hospitality Group, MGM National Harbor’s architectural unfolds as guests explore the space, from the series of grand steps leading up to the lobby to its glistening knife-like tower rising vertically toward the sky. In designing the resort, it was important to not only pay homage to surrounding architectural marvels, but also to include MGM Resort’s legacy by incorporating trademark elements from Las Vegas resorts such as Bellagio, ARIA and MGM Grand.

  • Gender Dynamics in Renaissance Florence Mary D
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal Vol. 11, No. 1 • Fall 2016 The Cloister and the Square: Gender Dynamics in Renaissance Florence Mary D. Garrard eminist scholars have effectively unmasked the misogynist messages of the Fstatues that occupy and patrol the main public square of Florence — most conspicuously, Benvenuto Cellini’s Perseus Slaying Medusa and Giovanni da Bologna’s Rape of a Sabine Woman (Figs. 1, 20). In groundbreaking essays on those statues, Yael Even and Margaret Carroll brought to light the absolutist patriarchal control that was expressed through images of sexual violence.1 The purpose of art, in this way of thinking, was to bolster power by demonstrating its effect. Discussing Cellini’s brutal representation of the decapitated Medusa, Even connected the artist’s gratuitous inclusion of the dismembered body with his psychosexual concerns, and the display of Medusa’s gory head with a terrifying female archetype that is now seen to be under masculine control. Indeed, Cellini’s need to restage the patriarchal execution might be said to express a subconscious response to threat from the female, which he met through psychological reversal, by converting the dangerous female chimera into a feminine victim.2 1 Yael Even, “The Loggia dei Lanzi: A Showcase of Female Subjugation,” and Margaret D. Carroll, “The Erotics of Absolutism: Rubens and the Mystification of Sexual Violence,” The Expanding Discourse: Feminism and Art History, ed. Norma Broude and Mary D. Garrard (New York: HarperCollins, 1992), 127–37, 139–59; and Geraldine A. Johnson, “Idol or Ideal?
