Powazek June 2020 Thesis Committee: Dr. Kristoffer Neville, Chairperson Dr. Randolph Head Dr. Jeanette Kohl Copyright by Daniel A. Powazek 2020 The Thesis of Daniel A. 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.

  • Inauguration and Images of Kingship in England, France and the Empire C.1050-C.1250
    Christus Regnat: Inauguration and Images of Kingship in England, France and the Empire c.1050-c.1250 Johanna Mary Olivia Dale Submitted for examination for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History November 2013 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract This thesis challenges the traditional paradigm, which assumes that the period c.1050-c.1250 saw a move away from the ‘biblical’ or ‘liturgical’ kingship of the early Middle Ages towards ‘administrative’ or ‘law-centred’ interpretations of rulership. By taking an interdisciplinary and transnational approach, and by bringing together types of source material that have traditionally been studied in isolation, a continued flourishing of Christ-centred kingship in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries is exposed. In demonstrating that Christological understandings of royal power were not incompatible with bureaucratic development, the shared liturgically inspired vocabulary deployed by monarchs in the three realms is made manifest. The practice of monarchical inauguration forms the focal point of the thesis, which is structured around three different types of source material: liturgical texts, narrative accounts and charters. Rather than attempting to trace the development of this ritual, an approach that has been taken many times before, this thesis is concerned with how royal inauguration was understood by contemporaries. Key insights include the importance of considering queens in the construction of images of royalty, the continued significance of unction despite papal attempts to lower the status of royal anointing, and the depth of symbolism inherent in the act of coronation, which enables a reinterpretation of this part of the inauguration rite.

  • 340 Handpicked Collecting Boxwood Carvings from The
    HANDPICKED COLLECTING BOXWOOD CARVINGS FROM THE SIXTEENTH TO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURIES Alexandra Suda & Barbara Drake Boehm In 1862, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in Protestant England, the Duke of Devonshire sent a circlet of carved wooden prayer beads to a special exhibition at London’s South Kensington Museum, which had opened only five years earlier ‘to increase the means of industrial education and extend the influence of science and art upon productive industry.’1 Even in the vast halls of that great museum, and among over eight thousand works of art, this precious object from the duke’s collection at Chatsworth House was undoubtedly a surprising − even suspect − object [FIG. 134].2 Of the rosary’s myriad images, drawn from both the Old and New Testaments, only two, on the circlet’s terminal paternoster nut, were singled out for mention in the catalogue: ‘The Crowning of the Virgin’ and ‘The Sacrifice of the Mass’, both long- standing sore points of dispute between Roman Catholics and Protestants, the one having to do with the role of the Virgin Mary and the other the inter- pretation of the Last Supper of Christ and his apostles. The scene described as ‘The Sacrifice of the Mass’ is, more specifically, a depiction of the Mass of St Gregory [FIGS. 135, 136]. For Roman Catholics, the story of Christ’s appearance to St Gregory at the al - tar confirmed the doctrine of transubstantiation: the belief that the bread and wine of the Mass become the body and blood of Jesus. The subtleties of this 340 FIGS.

It is a family collection, formed by a father and son: Baron Anselm von Rothschild (1803–1874) of Frankfurt and Vienna, and Baron Ferdinand, who became a British citizen in 1860, and a Trustee of the British Museum in 1896. Named after Baron Ferdinand’s Renaissance-style château, Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, the Bequest is a 19th-century recreation of a princely Kunstkammer or ‘art chamber’ of the Renaissance. The collection demonstrates how, within two generations, the Rothschilds expanded from Frankfurt to become Europe’s leading banking dynasty.

  • The Holy Crown of Hungary, Visible and Invisible LA´ SZLO´ PE´ TER
    SEER, Vol. 81,No.3, July 2003 The Holy Crown of Hungary, Visible and Invisible LA´ SZLO´ PE´ TER The reader at this point will certainly ask: how it is possible that a national relic of such great significance has never been properly examined in order to attain satisfactory conclusions [about its origin]. The answer is as contradictory as unexpected: precisely because such importance was attached to the crown; because it has been treated as the greatest national treasure. Ka´lma´n Benda and Erik Fu¨gedi on the Holy Crown1 The history of political ideas reveals continuities and unexpected revivals. Too frequently it proves premature to pronounce a political idea dead. A well-known example which demonstrates that major political ideas hardly ever disappear without trace has been the re- emergence of the natural law theory which had spent years in the doldrums while utilitarianism dominated political philosophy in Britain and America.2 Ideas whose impact is more limited and confined to a single national society could, likewise, unexpectedly revive after their apparent demise. When over forty years ago the present writer, working towards his DPhil in Oxford, took up the doctrine of the Holy Crown of Hungary, he thought that the subject was of purely historical interest, or at least one without any direct relevance to Hungarian politics, present and future. The reason why this assumption looked obvious at the time was not even primarily because Hungary, as a part of the Soviet bloc, was ruled by Communists who rejected and sneered at any political La´szlo´ Pe´ter is Emeritus Professor of Hungarian History at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London.
