One ruler with this name captured Chilia during an invasion of Moldavia that began in response to ​ Stephen the Great’s deposition of Basarab the Younger in Wallachia. A succession struggle that broke out during the reign of a ruler with this name inspired his Shia subjects to rise up in the Şahkulu Rebellion. Another ruler with this name agreed to hand over the Head of the Holy Lance to Pope Innocent VIII in exchange for the papacy continuing the imprisonment of his brother (*) Cem (“jem”). That ruler with this name ​ faced rebellions from his Karamanid brother-in-law Alaeddin Bey and extended his European domain by capturing Tarnovo and Salonika. A ruler with this name defeated a crusade led by Enguerrand VII De Coucy (“on-gair-ON the seventh duh koo-SEE”) and Sigismund of Hungary at the Battle of Nicopolis. The death of a ruler with this name who was captured at the Battle of Ankara led to the Ottoman Interregnum.

A philosopher who held this view drew a distinction from what is apparent from the apparent itself using ​ the example of honey’s sweetness. That philosopher likened this view to climbing a stepladder, which, once climbed, can not be knocked down with one’s own feet. A single passage in Aristocles contains almost everything we know about a thinker who may have adopted this view after meeting gymnosophists while in India with Alexander the Great. Two adherents of this view argued for the eulogon, or the reasonable, and ​ ​ ​ ​ pithanon, or the probable, as better criteria than (*) katalepsis. A thinker who championed this view adopted ​ ​ ​ Agrippa’s Five Modes in a book about its “outlines,” which argues that epoche (“eh-po-KAY”), or bracketing, leads ​ ​ to ataraxia. Arcesilaus and Carneades advanced this view’s “academic” form. For 10 points, name this view whose ​ ​ adherents, including Sextus Empiricus and Pyrrho, advocated suspending judgment. ANSWER: skepticism [or academic skepticism; or Pyrrhonian skepticism; or Pyrrhonism] ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ <CK, Philosophy> 3.

He wrote a poem about a creature who “knows in singing not to sing” that, “when comes that other fall we name the fall,” “says the highway dust is over all.” This author of “The (*) Hill Wife” wrote a poem that ends, “And they, ​ since they were not the one dead, turned to their affairs” and a poem that states the title bird “frames in all but words” the question “what to make of a diminished thing.” In another poem, he described the death of a boy who loses control of a buzz-saw. For 10 points, name this poet of “The Oven Bird” and “Out, Out—.” ANSWER: Robert Frost ​ <CK, American Literature> 4. During this conflict, children were abducted and sent to reeducation camps known as the Queen’s Camps. ​ Prior to this conflict, police attacked a crowd that marched on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to demand the punishment of the collaborationist Security Battalions. Ronald Scobie attempted to prevent this conflict by issuing a disarmament ultimatum, which was ignored by the far-right Organization X (“kye”). After the (*) Dekemvrianá, or December Events, Winston Churchill traveled to the country where this conflict occurred to ​ ​ ​ pressure the Soviets into honoring the Percentages Agreement. During this conflict, which pitted the EDES against the EAM-ELAS, the United States used Marshall Aid to fund one side in the first application of the Truman Doctrine. For 10 points, name this conflict, considered the first proxy war of the Cold War, that was fought in a Mediterrrean nation. ANSWER: Greek Civil War ​ <CK, European History> 5. After writing an essay opposing this activity, Benjamin Britten composed an orchestral song cycle based on ​ this activity set to text by Ravenscroft and Auden, which Vaughan Williams defended at its premiere in the 1936 Norfolk Music Festival. Percy Grainger’s “Blithe Bells” is a “ramble” on a movement from a vocal piece nicknamed for this activity. A chorus doing this activity in Act 3 sings “Was gleicht wohl auf Erden” (“voss GLY’sht vole owf AIR-din”) with [read slowly] a low A pickup, quarter-note D, then the 16th notes D E F-sharp G A in a (*) Weber opera. Due to the triadic B-flat major violin duet and 6/8 meter at its start, Mozart’s ​ String Quartet No. 17 was nicknamed for this activity. Bach’s secular cantata containing the aria “Sheep May Safely Graze” is nicknamed for this activity. Liszt’s Transcendental Étude No. 9 is titled for “wild” and this activity. For 10 points, name this activity often represented in music with drum beats and horn calls. ANSWER: hunting [accept Our Hunting Fathers or the Hunting Cantata or the Hunters’ Chorus or “Wild Hunt”; ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ accept Wilde Jagd or Jägerchor or Jagdquartett; or La chasse] ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ <JD, Classical Music> 6.

This author asked “if you are kicked by a donkey, do you kick it back?” to explain why he didn’t respond ​ harshly to harsh criticism. A collection by this poet begins by describing a drawing in which “every figure… wears a plaintiff’s paper robe.” In response to critics like Muhammad Husain Azad, this poet declared, “If there’s no meaning in my verses, then so be it.” He’s not Saadi, but the biographer Hali wrote a yaadgar about this poet, who adopted a takhallus meaning “conqueror” or “victorious.” This poet was rivals with Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq at the court of (*) Bahadur Shah Zafar until the Indian Rebellion of 1857. This author wrote ​ that he “was not the only master of Rekhta” because in a “previous age,” there was Mir Taqi Mir. For 10 points, name this Urdu and Persian-language poet of many ghazals.

  • Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting
    FIRST COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF RENOIR’S FULL-LENGTH CANVASES BRINGS TOGETHER ICONIC WORKS FROM EUROPE AND THE U.S. FOR AN EXCLUSIVE NEW YORK CITY EXHIBITION RENOIR, IMPRESSIONISM, AND FULL-LENGTH PAINTING February 7 through May 13, 2012 This winter and spring The Frick Collection presents an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist’s engagement with the full-length format. Its use was associated with the official Paris Salon from the mid-1870s to mid- 1880s, the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by Renoir’s La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Frick’s permanent collection. Intended for public display, the vertical grand-scale canvases in the exhibition are among the artist’s most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. The show and accompanying catalogue draw on contemporary criticism, literature, and archival documents to explore the motivation behind Renoir’s full-length figure paintings as well as their reception by critics, peers, and the public. Recently-undertaken technical studies of the canvases will also shed new light on the artist’s working methods. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne from Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), Dance at Bougival, 1883, oil on canvas, 71 5/8 x 38 5/8 inches, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Picture Fund; photo: © 2012 Museum the National Museum Wales, Cardiff; The Umbrellas (Les Parapluies) from The of Fine Arts, Boston National Gallery, London (first time since 1886 on view in the United States); and Dance in the City and Dance in the Country from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

  • Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art Newsletter
    SPRING 2012 Volume 19, No. 1 Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art Newsletter LES GRANDES VERTICALES: RENOIR AT THE FRICK COLLECTION By Caterina Y. Pierre This spring, visitors to the Frick Collection have the opportu- nity to view a small but splendid exhibition entitled “Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting,” organized by Colin B. Bailey, the Frick’s Deputy Director and the Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator. The exhibition, which runs through May 13, 2012, is accompanied by a sumptuous catalogue authored by Bailey and co-published by the Frick and Yale University Press (ISBN 978-0-300-18108-1, US $60.00). The exhibition takes an in-depth look at nine of Renoir’s large- scale, mostly vertical, canvases created over the nine-year pe- riod between 1874 and 1883. The catalogue includes a tenth painting, Jeanne Samary, a full-length portrait that was un- available for the exhibition. The inspiration for the exhibition seems to have stemmed from a recent reevaluation of the Frick’s own vertical for- mat canvas by Renoir, La Promenade (1875-76), acquired by Henry Clay Frick for $35,000 in 1914 from Knoedler and Company. Recent infrared reflectography studies completed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art have revealed two addi- tional figures at the top left of La Promenade, suggesting that the principle large female figure in the center of the painting, usually referred to as the “mother” figure, might now be seen as an older sister to the two foreground children. Similar re- search, particularly of the technological kind, was offered for many of the paintings on view through the catalogue and a small media room outside of the exhibition.

  • Boston Museum of Fine Arts Trip Set for Wednesday June 20
    Boston Museum of Fine Arts trip set for Wednesday June 20 We have had a tremendous response to our first excursion trip last September. Requests for another trip have encouraged us to plan another--this time to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. “Dance at Bougival” by Pierre Auguste Renoir! This lively painting with springtime colors—the young girl in chapeau rouge and the bearded man in chapeau jaune--make you feel like dancing. Joining this iconic Renoir, are two monumental paintings on loan from the Musée d'Orsay, Paris—full length canvasses of Renoir's “Dance in the City” and “Dance in the Country.” The artist’s colorful Impressionist style captures the fashion and pastimes of his contemporaries. This trio of paintings in Gallery 225 will be together for the first time in a generation and just in time for our arrival. The showpiece of the MFA is its brand new Art of the Americas Wing. The architecture alone is worth a visit. It doubles the number of objects from the collection on view, including several large-scale masterpieces not displayed for decades. The new wing takes a global perspective on Art of the Americas, showcasing more than 5,000 works of art produced in North, Central, and South America over the course of three millennia. The wing's four levels has 53 brand-new galleries including nine beautiful period rooms and four Behind the Scenes galleries to enhance the way visitors experience and interact with the collection. The website, www.mfa.org, offers a glimpse into everything that is offered and location.

  • Culture, History and Travel
    IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE IMPRESSIONISTS: THE SUBURBS OF PARIS Course Outline Our course will visit the suburbs east and west of Paris, and the Normandy coast, during the period 1850 to 1890. The first part of each class will review some fifteen of the paintings of the period, putting them in their historical, social, and literary contexts. The works include painters given diverse classifications, including the Barbizon School, realists, Impressionists, and post-Impressionists, united in that they all contributed to the dramatic changes in painting after 1850. During the four classes we view works by sixteen painters, including Millet, Courbet, Monet, Sisley, Renoir, and Van Gogh. Our readings include works by Baudelaire, Zola, and Maupassant. In the latter part of each class, we will walk the streets of the suburbs and the coastal beaches today, viewing them through digital pictures taken by the instructor over the last decade. We visit the very sites featured in the paintings and the literature of the period, many of which are remarkably similar to their state when the painters knew them: we really can walk in the footsteps of the Impressionists. Be forewarned: the instructor is an economic historian and economist by training, a Francophile by marriage and experience, and a strictly amateur admirer of the art of the period. 1.

  • The Appearance of Happiness in Agnès Varda's Le Bonheur
    ACTA UNIV. SAPIENTIAE, FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES, 19 (2021) 17–34 DOI: 10.2478/ausfm-2021-0002 “Show the Clichés:” the Appearance of Happiness in Agnès Varda’s Le Bonheur Susan Felleman University of South Carolina (Columbia, United States of America) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Le Bonheur, perhaps Agnès Varda’s most beautiful film, is also her most perplexing. The film’s insistently idyllic surface qualities, overtly beautiful imagery, and psychologically impenetrable, improbably content characters mystify and confuse. Of late, feminist scholars have clarified the situation, noting Varda’s incorporation of advertising and pop cultural visual rhetoric to implicate the social forces framing the picture and those insistently “happy” people: more like advertising ciphers than dramatic characters. Varda herself referenced Impressionist painting as a source of the film’s aesthetics. The purposes of this vivid, chromatic intertextual and intermedial source, in relation to the rhetoric of commercial and popular culture, demand attention. Varda studied art history and connected the milieu of Le Bonheur, the Parisian exurbs, their petit-bourgeois and working- class populace, and bucolic leisure, artisanal and industrial settings, to the modernity of 19th-century Impressionism. Le Bonheur uses an Impressionist picturesque dialectically, in relation to a pop contemporaneity, to observe and critique an ideological genealogy of capitalism and its oppression of women. Keywords: Agnès Varda, Le Bonheur, Impressionism, advertising and pop cultural visual images in film, feminism. In 1819, Constance Mayer, one of a number of women who had made careers as painters following the French Revolution, showed a major painting at the annual Salon.

  • Renoir`S Dancer
    Renoir’s Dancer ‘Impressionism’, perhaps the most loved of Modern Art movements, has been around for over 150 years. One of its most endearing exponents is Pierre-Auguste Renoir. In 1883 he painted Dance at Bougival. Double click on the link to see Dance at Bougival which is held at the Boston Museum of Fine Art. The female model was Suzanne Valadon. She too became a painter as did her son Maurice Utrillo. Suzanne was born in Bessines in the Limousin region of France. A rebel all her long life (1865-1938) - she became an artist’s model after a fall from a trapeze ended her circus career. Her artist training consisted of watching and absorbing all that Renoir and other painters did while she modelled for them. The ‘prickly’ French master painter Edgar Degas became her most noted sponsor. Suzanne always loved life in Montmartre, but it was not easy. In 1883 she gave birth to an illegitimate child she named Maurice. A young Spaniard – Miguel Utrillo, who may have been his father, later adopted him, but Maurice saw little of him. The bond between mother and son was very, very strong, even though Maurice from a teenager became a problem alcoholic. Suzanne remained a model and a painter all her life. In 1919 she painted Family Portrait. It is of her second husband Andre Utter, herself, son Maurice and her elderly mother. As a character portrait it is marvellous. Double click on the link to see Portrait de Famille which is held in the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

  • Albrecht Dürer German, 1471-1528) Salome with the Head of John the Baptist, N.D
    EXTENDED WALL LABELS Albrecht Dürer German, 1471-1528) Salome with the Head of John the Baptist, n.d. Woodcut Courtesy of Drs. Walter and Mildred Padow Dürer distinguished himself as one of Europe’s first important printmakers, and his unique skills were as widely celebrated during his lifetime as they are today. This remarkably detailed, illusionistic image is filled with volumetric forms that depict a dramatic moment after the beheading of St. John the Baptist, which Salome had ordered in response to the saint’s rebuking her passionate overtures. Salome recoils from what she sees, lending the scene an emotional poignancy, a hallmark of Renaissance art. Dürer often signed his work—here along its lower edge to the left of a kettle. Master artists of Renaissance workshops identified themselves in this way, which masters of Medieval workshops rarely did, and this new practice underscored the increasing emphasis placed on individuality and individual achievement during this era. Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471-1528) The Prodigal Son (Der Verlorene Sohn), c.1496 Engraving Courtesy of Drs. Walter and Mildred Padow Dürer was as skilled with engraving as he was with woodcut. Here, he depicts a specific moment in the Biblical Prodigal Son parable: the figure kneels in a pig sty, praying for his father’s forgiveness for having left home and carelessly squandering his inheritance. The image conveys an emotional immediacy that Medieval art rarely expresses. The varying and steep angles of the slanting rooftops enliven the upper half of the composition. Rounded, curving forms dominate its lower half: landscape, the backs of the animals, the figure’s head, shoulders, right elbow, and sash.
