  • Portrait Dated 1512, at the State Hermitage Museum1
    542 Giovanna Perini Folesani УДК: 75.041.5 ББК: 85.103(4)5 А43 DOI: 10.18688/aa177-5-55 Giovanna Perini Folesani Dominicus Who? Solving the Riddle Posed by a Splendid “Venetian” Portrait Dated 1512, at the State Hermitage Museum1 It takes some real quality for a Renaissance portrait to be able to hang close to Giorgione’s Judith in the same museum room without fading or being overshadowed2 (Ill. 124). The high quality of this problematic picture is further proven by its seventeenth-century attribution to Giorgione (who died two years before it was painted) [70, I, p. 105; 15, p. 190]. It is no coinci- dence that this very portrait was chosen for the dust-jacket of the official catalogue in English of the Venetian paintings in the State Hermitage Museum published in the 1990s [31] and has recently travelled to Australia along with other masterpieces from St. Petersburg3. Still, its attri- bution and iconography have proven elusive so far. Its current, yet not undisputed attribution to Domenico Capriolo, a minor Giorgionesque painter, is untenable on both stylistic and historical grounds4. A comparison with his one undis- puted portrait of Lelio Torelli, signed and dated 1528 [23, XIX, pp. 210–211; 87, V, pp. 557–558; 77, XVI, pp. 281–282; 89, IX/3, p. 548, fig. 374], shows that sixteen years later, far from im- proving as an artist, Domenico Capriolo (if he were the author of the State Hermitage picture) would paint in a stiffer, more elementary, much less imaginative and elegant way, having but a clumsy grasp on perspective.

  • The Splintering of Spain
    This page intentionally left blank ii ii The Splintering of Spain This book explores the ideas and culture surrounding the cataclysmic civil war that engulfed Spain from 1936 to 1939. It features specially commissioned articles from leading historians in Spain, Britain and the USA which examine the complex interaction of national and local factors, contributing to the shape and course of the war. They argue that the ‘splintering of Spain’ resulted from the myriad cultural clea- vages of society in the 1930s. Thus, this book views the civil war less as a single great conflict between two easily identifiable sets of ideas, social classes or ways of life, than historians have previously done. The Spanish tragedy, at the level of everyday life, was shaped by many tensions, both those that were formally political and those that were to do with people’s perceptions and understanding of the society around them.

  • Life Writing As Political Critique in the Spanish Habsburg Empire (1545-1557)

Life writing, as State-sponsored, official history (historia pro persona), focused on the lives of illustrious men and sovereigns, and was used during the early modern period as a tool of the Spanish Crown to reinforce its sovereignty. Such lives also held a synecdochal relationship to Spain’s emerging sense of national identity. As Emperor, Charles V accorded life writing unprecedented importance. Even as he sought after monarchia univeralis, he faced extreme challenges to his sovereignty during the period I study, including the crisis with the corsairs and the Ottoman Empire in the Mediterranean, the rebellion of the conquistadors in the Americas, and the schism of the Church and Empire as a result of the Reformation in Europe.

  • History of England. Chapter Xxiv
    THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND Volume One of Three FROM THE INVASION OF JULIUS CÆSAR TO THE END OF THE REIGN OF JAMES THE SECOND, BY DAVID HUME, ESQ. 1688 VOLUME ONE Part C. From Henry VII. to Mary HISTORY OF ENGLAND. CHAPTER XXIV. HENRY VII. 1485. The victory which the earl of Richmond gained at Bosworth was entirely decisive; being attended, as well with the total rout and dispersion of the royal army, as with the death of the king himself. Joy for this great success suddenly prompted the soldiers, in the field of battle, to bestow on their victorious general the appellation of king, which he had not hitherto assumed; and the acclamations of "Long live Henry VII.," by a natural and unpremeditated movement, resounded from all quarters. To bestow some appearance of formality on this species of military election, Sir William Stanley brought a crown of ornament, which Richard wore in battle, and which had been found among the spoils; and he put it on the head of the victor. Henry himself remained not in suspense; but immediately, without hesitation, accepted of the magnificent present which was tendered him. He was come to the crisis of his fortune; and being obliged suddenly to determine himself, amidst great difficulties which he must have frequently revolved in his mind, he chose that part which his ambition suggested to him, and to which he seemed to be invited by his present success. There were many titles on which Henry could found his right to the crown; but no one of them free from great objections, if considered with respect either to justice or to policy.

  • Acta Periodica Duellatorum 7(1), 2019
    Proceedings of the conference The A rt of fighting of Pietro del Monte (2018) Acta Periodica Duellatorum volume 7, issue 1 (2019) – DOI 10.2478/apd-2019-0006 Contextualising Pietro Monte’s Military Career in Italy Pascal Brioist, Centre for Higher Renaissance Studies, Tours (FR), [email protected] Abstract – Several scholars have studied Pietro del Monte’s works, but only a few have focused on his military career. This article contextualises his career as a condotierre, primarily by collecting and commenting on narrative sources describing his life. From the Italian and Spanish courts where he mingled with the brightest minds of his time, to the Italian Wars where he met his death on the battlefield, Monte lived as an acting commander, a respected scholar, and a renowned master at arms. Keywords – Pietro Monte, condotierre, military career, Italy Long before Sydney Anglo discussed the relationship between Pietro Monte and Leonardo da Vinci in an article today well known to da Vinci specialists1, Edmondo Solmi had already spotted an allusion to Monte in the Manuscript I (French Institute). He sketched out the following portrait: Pietro Monte, Da Giorgio, son of Ambrogio, was born in Milan in 1460. Pietro Monte was a soldier, an engineer and a theologian. As a young man he was sent to Spain and there he wrote in the local language a work full of invention and unusual comments, published later on in Milan (afterwards translated from Spanish by G. Ayora of Cordoba) in 1492, after the author came back to Lombardy, under the title De Dignoscendis hominibus (Antonius Zarotus of Parma, Milanese, printed this text in Milan in 1492 on 17 January, in round and quite neat letters, on a nice, non-paginated paper).2 One finds there pages on necromancy, physicians and principles of authority, as well as ideas in favour of experimentation; they were so much alive that they must have taken Leonardo’s fancy: “Talk to Pietro Monte”, writes the author about the best way to throw darts3; and this very precious annotation 1 Anglo, ‘The man who taught Leonardo darts’.

  • The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity
    The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity By Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction Of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Thomas Dandelet, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor Ignacio E. Navarrete Summer 2015 The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance, and Morisco Identity © 2015 by Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry All Rights Reserved The Granada Venegas Family, 1431-1643: Nobility, Renaissance and Morisco Identity By Elizabeth Ashcroft Terry Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California-Berkeley Thomas Dandelet, Chair Abstract In the Spanish city of Granada, beginning with its conquest by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1492, Christian aesthetics, briefly Gothic, and then classical were imposed on the landscape. There, the revival of classical Roman culture took place against the backdrop of Islamic civilization. The Renaissance was brought to the city by its conquerors along with Christianity and Castilian law. When Granada fell, many Muslim leaders fled to North Africa. Other elite families stayed, collaborated with the new rulers and began to promote this new classical culture. The Granada Venegas were one of the families that stayed, and participated in the Renaissance in Granada by sponsoring a group of writers and poets, and they served the crown in various military capacities. They were royal, having descended from a Sultan who had ruled Granada in 1431. Cidi Yahya Al Nayar, the heir to this family, converted to Christianity prior to the conquest. Thus he was one of the Morisco elites most respected by the conquerors.
