  • Isabel Clara Eugenia and Peter Paul Rubens’S the Triumph of the Eucharist Tapestry Series
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: PIETY, POLITICS, AND PATRONAGE: ISABEL CLARA EUGENIA AND PETER PAUL RUBENS’S THE TRIUMPH OF THE EUCHARIST TAPESTRY SERIES Alexandra Billington Libby, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., Department of Art History and Archeology This dissertation explores the circumstances that inspired the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia, Princess of Spain, Archduchess of Austria, and Governess General of the Southern Netherlands to commission Peter Paul Rubens’s The Triumph of the Eucharist tapestry series for the Madrid convent of the Descalzas Reales. It traces the commission of the twenty large-scale tapestries that comprise the series to the aftermath of an important victory of the Infanta’s army over the Dutch in the town of Breda. Relying on contemporary literature, studies of the Infanta’s upbringing, and the tapestries themselves, it argues that the cycle was likely conceived as an ex-voto, or gift of thanks to God for the military triumph. In my discussion, I highlight previously unrecognized temporal and thematic connections between Isabel’s many other gestures of thanks in the wake of the victory and The Triumph of the Eucharist series. I further show how Rubens invested the tapestries with imagery and a conceptual conceit that celebrated the Eucharist in ways that symbolically evoked the triumph at Breda. My study also explores the motivations behind Isabel’s decision to give the series to the Descalzas Reales. It discusses how as an ex-voto, the tapestries implicitly credited her for the triumph and, thereby, affirmed her terrestrial authority. Drawing on the history of the convent and its use by the king of Spain as both a religious and political dynastic center, it shows that the series was not only a gift to the convent, but also a gift to the king, a man with whom the Infanta had developed a tense relationship over the question of her political autonomy.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Sarah Joan Moran and Amanda Pipkin The Low Countries, a region comprising modern-day Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and parts of eastern Germany and northern France, offers a re- markable laboratory for the study of early modern religion, politics, and cul- ture. Under the domain of the Hapsburg empire from 1482 and allocated to the Spanish crown when Holy Roman Emperor Charles V abdicated in 1555, the Low Countries were highly urbanized, literate, and cosmopolitan, and their cities were among the most important trade centers in Northern Europe. Following the publication of Luther’s 98 theses in 1517 the region also proved fertile ground for the spread of Protestant ideas, which combined with local resentment of foreign rule culminated in rebellion against Spain in 1568. This marked the start of the Eighty Years War.1 Philip II reestablished control over most of the Southern provinces around 1585 but neither he nor his successors were able to re-take the North. As war waged on for another six decades the South saw a wave of Catholic revival while Reformed evangelism flourished in the new Dutch Republic, entrenching a religious and political divide that slowly crushed the dreams of those hoping to reunite the Low Countries.2 Following the War of the Spanish Succession, under the Treaty of Rastatt in 1714 the Southern provinces were transferred back to the Austrian Habsburg emperors, and both North and South underwent economic declines as they 1 See Jonathan Irvine Israel, The Dutch Republic: Its Rise, Greatness, and Fall, 1477–1806 (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 1995); Arie-Jan Gelderblom, Jan L.

  • (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth), Was the Powerful Goddes
    Water n Greek mythology MNEMOSYNE, daughter of the primordial Titan deities Uranus (Heaven) and Gaia (Earth), I was the powerful goddess of memory, the inventor of language and mother of the nine muses. Mnemosyne presided over the spring of memory in the underworld where souls had the choice to drink either from the River Lethe, forget their past life and be re-incarnated, or to drink from her own spring and spend eternity in the peace of the Elysian Fields. The words amnesia, amnesty, mnemonic, monument derive from her name. Jupiter, in the guise of a shepherd, approaches Mnemosyne, seated on the left at the edge of a wood by her spring. Illustration by LeClerc to Isaac de Benserade’s adaptation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses Paris, 1676. ©Trustees of the British Museum. Since ancient times water has been closely linked with memory. Many people believe that the memory of a blessing can be retained in water from holy shrines and can bring healing. In the Middle Ages the power of holy water was considered so great that pilgrims bought small flasks of it hoping that its blessing would accompany them as their journey continued. Some churches locked their fonts to prevent its theft. Homeopathic remedies defy conventional scientific Medieval pilgrim’s understanding by suggesting that water has the ability to lead alloy retain an electromagnetic memory of substances previously ampulla for carrying dissolved in it to the point that no single molecule of the holy water. original substance remains. The River Ise rises in the field at Naseby where the memory of the Civil War battle of 1645 is embedded in the Northamptonshire landscape.

In different countries garments and tastes varied hugely and changed throughout the period. Despite this variation, there was a distinct style that is recognisable to us today and from which we can learn considerable amounts in terms of design, pattern cutting and construction techniques. Our focus is Europe, particularly Belgium, Spain, Austria and the Netherlands, where our characters Isabella and Albert lived or were connected to during their reign. This booklet includes a brief introduction to Isabella and Albert and a step-by-step guide to undressing and dressing them in order to gain an understanding of the detail and complexity of the garments, shoes and accessories during the period. The clothes you see would often be found in the Spanish courts, and although Isabella and Albert weren’t particularly the ‘trend-setters’ of their day, their garments are a great example of what was worn by the wealthy during the late 16th and early 17th centuries in Europe.

Archduke Albert (1598–1621) and Habsburg Political Culture in the Age of Religious War. By Luc Duerloo. Farnham: Ashgate. 2012; Isabel Clara Eugenia. Female Sovereignty in the Courts of Madrid and Brussels. Edited by Cordula van Wyhe. London: Paul Holberton Publishing in association with Centro de Eustudios Europa Hispánica, Madrid. 2012. In autumn 1998 the Royal Museums for Art and History in Brussels opened a major exhibition commemorating the 400th anniversary of the reign of Archdukes Albert and Isabella in the Southern Netherlands. The exhibition was accompanied by an impressive and beautifully illustrated catalogue.1 Historians, art historians, and literary scholars examined the cosmo- politan court in Brussels and its impact on the fl ourishing arts and culture created by the Habsburg couple to echo the Burgundian splendour of the past and to mount a Counter- Reformation campaign on the frontlines of the confessional divide of the Low Countries. The introductory chapter by Werner Thomas, from which the title of the present review article is borrowed, refl ects the high expectations in the Southern Netherlands expressed at the arrival of the Archducal couple in 1598. For a number of scholars involved in this project, the topic remained of lasting interest and has resulted in new research into a hitherto neglected fi eld of study. This new interest in the politics and culture of the Southern Netherlands in the fi rst half of the seventeenth century is enriched by the highly international outlook and expertise of these scholars and by their knowledge of the wider Habsburg world well beyond the confi nes of the seventeen provinces of the Low Countries.
