    MUNICH MOZART´S STAY The life and work of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is closely connected to Munich, a centre of the German music patronage. Two of his most famous works Mozart composed in the residence city of Munich: On the 13th January, 1775 the premiere from „La finta giardinera “took place, on the 29th January, 1781 the opera "Idomeneo" was launched at Cuvilliés Theater. Already during his first trip at the age of six years Wolfgang played together with his sister Nannerl for Elector Maximilian Joseph III. The second visit followed a year later, in June, 1763. From Munich the Mozart family started to their three year European journey to Paris and London. On the way back from this triumphal journey they stopped in Munich again and Mozart gave concerts at the Emperors court. Main focus of the next trip to Munich (1774 – in 1775) was the premiere of the opera "La finta giardiniera" at the Salvatortheater. In 1777 when Wolfgang and his mother were on the way to Paris Munich was destination again and they stayed 14 days in the Isar city. Unfortunately, at that time Wolfgang aspired in vain to and permanent employment. Idomeneo, an opera which Mozart had composed by order of Elector Karl Theodor, was performed in Munich for the first time at the glamorous rococo theatre in the Munich palace, the Cuvilliés Theater. With pleasure he would have remained in Munich, however, there was, unfortunately, none „vacatur “for him again. In 1790 Mozart came for the last time to Munich on his trip to the coronation of Leopold II in Frankfurt.

  • “The Semiotics of the Imagery of the Greek War of Independence. from Delacroix to the Frieze in Otto’S Palace, the Current Hellenic Parliament”
    American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS)R) 2020 American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS) E-ISSN: 2378-702X Volume-03, Issue-01, pp 36-41 January-2020 www.arjhss.com Research Paper Open Access “The Semiotics of the Imagery of the Greek War of Independence. From Delacroix to the Frieze in Otto’s Palace, The Current Hellenic Parliament”. Markella-Elpida Tsichla University of Patras *Corresponding Author: Markella-Elpida Tsichla ABSTRACT:- The iconography of the Greek War of Independence is quite broad and it includes both real and imaginary themes. Artists who were inspired by this particular and extremely important historical event originated from a variety of countries, some were already well-known, such as Eugène Delacroix, others were executing official commissions from kings of Western countries, and most of them were driven by the spirit of romanticism. This paper shall not so much focus on matters of art criticism, but rather explore the manner in which facts have been represented in specific works of art, referring to political, religious and cultural issues, which are still relevant to this day. In particular, I shall comment on The Massacre at Chios by Eugène Delacroix, painted in 1824, the 39 Scenes from the Greek War of Independence by Peter von Hess, painted in 1835 and commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, and the frieze in the Trophy Room (currently Eleftherios Venizelos Hall) in Otto’s palace in Athens, currently housing the Hellenic Parliament, themed around the Greek War of Independence and the subsequent events. This great work was designed by German sculptor Ludwig Michael Schantahaler in 1840 and “transferred” to the walls of the hall by a group of Greek and German artists.

    The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adam R. Gustafson June 2011 © 2011 Adam R. Gustafson All Rights Reserved 2 This dissertation titled The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria by ADAM R. GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.

    a message from the president Campion is different. Different in the degree we offer; different in our approach; different in our purpose. Campion is the only Catholic liberal arts college in Australia. As a fully-accredited tertiary institution, we go directly to the core of education, faith and human flourishing. Campion goes to the core of education and immerses you in a core curriculum that all students study together — a curriculum designed not just to impart information but also to train you how to think. And our small size enables a genuine community of learning. Campion also goes to the core of faith. Where many approach university as nothing more than career training, we focus on your entire formation - spiritual, intellectual, social and vocational. We are Catholic in identity but desire to help all students live out their faith in all of life. Finally, Campion goes to the core of human flourishing. A generation from now, you will likely be serving in influential fields such as law, business, medicine, government, arts and media; you will be forming families or perhaps serving in clerical roles and other religious vocations; and you will be professors at the most respected institutions in Australia. In these positions you will exercise reflective, responsible leadership, bringing to bear the skills, character, wisdom and vision that you cultivated in early adulthood. Imagine the difference that a core, Christ-centered liberal arts education will make on your formation, and then imagine the difference you, as graduates, will make on our society! Your university years will be some of the most important of your life.

  • The Austin Woodbury Archives
    Th e Austin Woodbury Archives: Collection and Preservation of Historical Materials by Angela Kolar, College Librarian, Campion College ith the great emphasis of aligning our libraries with the most contemporary IT developments and W matching our digital and online services along with major academic libraries, and in the thrust of all this activity to constantly maintain the relevance of our libraries, we can overlook the distinctive nature and responsibility of theological libraries and libraries with a strong theological component. Th e Campion College Library is a liberal arts library in the Catholic tradition with no vocational subjects, the only one of its kind in Australia – liberal arts meaning the inclusion of Th eology along with Philosophy, History, Literature, from antiquity through the medieval period to modern times based on the early Oxford tradition of incorporating Th eology and Church History as the major fulcrum around which the related subjects develop. Th e College occupies what was once a Marist Seminary continuing an historical line from a teaching seminary, to the establishment of Campion College for the formation of young students in the Catholic faith in the heritage of the European western traditions of historical inquiry and learning. Th e Marist Seminary at Old Toongabbie (the third settlement in the historical establishment of Sydney), was the fi rst Marist Seminary in Australia. Th e Marist Fathers originated in France founded by Fr Jean Claude Colin in 1836.1 One of the fi rst major missions of the Marist Fathers was to the Oceania Region at the end of 1836.2 St Peter Chanel was a member of that original missionary group.3 He was martyred in 1841 in the South Pacifi c on the Island of Futuna after having succeeded in converting the son of the king of the island to the Christian faith.
