  • National Trust Report
    England will lose all historical buildings und beautiful nature places... AUDIO (I've already sendet it to Ms Suter (N.T.2)) Kingston Lacy Library in Kingston Lacy Souvenirs from Egypt ...if the National Trust wouldn't exist. In the time of global warming it is very important that somebody looks after beautiful places, otherwise these places will be lost. But also objects which aren't in danger because of global warming are endangered if nobody looks after them. The National Trust saves historical houses und nature reserves and restores them when needed. This charity is really important for England. That is why you should learn more about this organisation. In my post you will find a lot of information about the National Trust and you will see what people who live in England think about the National Trust. The National Trust Introduction When you make a journey through England and you visit special places or buildings you might see a board with information about this place. On this board you will often see the company logo of the National Trust which is a branch of maple leaves on a green background. When I visited London, I saw many such information boards. The National Trust supports for example Carlyleꞌ s House, the Eastbury Manor House and other tourist attractions. At the beginning of my project I knew that the National Trust does exist. But I wanted to know more about this charity. I wanted to find out whether my hypothesis: “The National Trust is very important for the environment and the historical buildings of England” is true or not.

  • THE POWER of BEAUTY in RESTORATION ENGLAND Dr
    THE POWER OF BEAUTY IN RESTORATION ENGLAND Dr. Laurence Shafe [email protected] THE WINDSOR BEAUTIES www.shafe.uk • It is 1660, the English Civil War is over and the experiment with the Commonwealth has left the country disorientated. When Charles II was invited back to England as King he brought new French styles and sexual conduct with him. In particular, he introduced the French idea of the publically accepted mistress. Beautiful women who could catch the King’s eye and become his mistress found that this brought great wealth, titles and power. Some historians think their power has been exaggerated but everyone agrees they could influence appointments at Court and at least proposition the King for political change. • The new freedoms introduced by the Reformation Court spread through society. Women could appear on stage for the first time, write books and Margaret Cavendish was the first British scientist. However, it was a totally male dominated society and so these heroic women had to fight against established norms and laws. Notes • The Restoration followed a turbulent twenty years that included three English Civil Wars (1642-46, 1648-9 and 1649-51), the execution of Charles I in 1649, the Commonwealth of England (1649-53) and the Protectorate (1653-59) under Oliver Cromwell’s (1599-1658) personal rule. • Following the Restoration of the Stuarts, a small number of court mistresses and beauties are renowned for their influence over Charles II and his courtiers. They were immortalised by Sir Peter Lely as the ‘Windsor Beauties’. Today, I will talk about Charles II and his mistresses, Peter Lely and those portraits as well as another set of portraits known as the ‘Hampton Court Beauties’ which were painted by Godfrey Kneller (1646-1723) during the reign of William III and Mary II.

  • Eugene Barilo Von Reisberg, M
    Eugene Barilo von Reisberg, Garters and Petticoats: Franz Xaver Winterhalter’s 1843 Portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert EUGENE BARILO VON REISBERG Garters and Petticoats: Franz Xaver Winterhalter’s 1843 Portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert ABSTRACT What does official royal iconography tell us? What messages does it communicate about the sitters – and from the sitters? This paper deconstructs two official portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert painted by Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-1873) in 1843. It outlines the complex semantic layering within this pair of British royal portraits, and explores in particular the emphasis on Prince Albert‘s newly-acquired ‗Englishness‘ and the notion of an iconographic ‗gender reversal‘ within the context of traditional marital pendants. The Honourable Eleanor Stanley wrote in a letter that a ‗regular dull evening‘ at Windsor Castle on 24 March 1845 was enlivened by the youthful Queen Victoria‘s impassioned speech about the state of British portraiture, ‗a terrible broadside at English artists, both as regards their works and … their prices, and their charging her particularly outrageously high.‘1 The twenty-six-year-old queen spoke from experience. As the heir apparent to the British throne, she had been painted from infancy by a succession of artists, vying for the patronage of the future sovereign. From her accession in 1837, the queen sat to numerous painters who failed to satisfy the requirements of official portraiture in the eyes of the monarch, her courtiers, and the critics. David Wilkie‘s (1785-1841) portrait of the queen was condemned by the critics as being ‗execrable‘.2 The queen considered her portrait by Martin Archer Shee (1769- 1850) as ‗monstrous‘;3 while the Figaro compared her countenance in the portrait by George Hayter (1792-1871) as that of an ‗ill-tempered and obstinate little miss.‘4 Portraits of Prince Albert, whom the queen married in February 1840, did not fair much better.

    Introduction: Female friendship, community and retreat Friendship still has been design‘d, The Support of Human-kind; The safe Delight, the useful Bliss, The next World‘s Happiness, and this. Give then, O indulgent Fate! Give a Friend in that Retreat (Tho‘ withdrawn from all the rest) Still a Clue, to reach my Breast. Let a Friend be still convey‘d Thro‘ those Windings, and that Shade! Where, may I remain secure, Waste, in humble Joys and pure, A Life, that can no Envy yield; Want of Affluence my Shield.1 Anne Finch’s “The Petition for an Absolute Retreat” is one of a number of verses by early modern women which engage with the poetic traditions of friendship and the pastoral.2 Finch employed the imagery and language of the pastoral to shape a convivial but protected space of retreat. The key to achieving the sanctity of such a space is virtuous friendship, which Finch implies is both enabled by and enabling of pastoral retirement. Finch’s retreat is not an absolute retirement; she calls for “a Friend in that Retreat / (Tho’ withdrawn from all the rest)” to share in the “humble Joys and pure” of the pastoral. Friendship is “design’d [as] the Support of Human-kind”, a divine gift to ease the burden of human reason and passion. The cause of “the next World’s Happiness, and this”, 1 Anne Finch, “The Petition for an Absolute Retreat” in Miscellany Poems, on Several Occasions, printed for J.B. and sold by Benj. Tooke at the Middle-Temple-Gate, William Taylor in Pater-Noster-Row, and James Round (London, 1713), pp.

  • Libeling Painting: Exploring the Gap Between Text and Image in the Critical Discourse on George Villiers, the First Duke of Buckingham
    Libeling Painting: Exploring the Gap between Text and Image in the Critical Discourse on George Villiers, the First Duke of Buckingham THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ivana May Rosenblatt Graduate Program in History of Art The Ohio State University 2009 Master's Examination Committee: Barbara Haeger, Advisor Christian Kleinbub Copyright by Ivana May Rosenblatt 2009 Abstract This paper investigates the imagery of George Villiers, the first Duke of Buckingham, by reinserting it into the visual and material culture of the Stuart court and by considering the role that medium and style played in its interpretation. Recent scholarship on Buckingham‘s imagery has highlighted the oppositional figures in both Rubens‘ and Honthorst‘s allegorical paintings of the Duke, and, picking up on the existence of ―Felton Commended,‖ a libel which references these allegories in relation to illusion, argued dually that Buckingham‘s imagery is generally defensive, a result of his unstable position as royal favorite, and that these paintings consciously presented images of the Duke which explicitly and topically responded to verse libels criticizing him. However, in so doing, this scholarship ignores the gap between written libels and pictorial images and creates a direct dialogue between two media that did not speak directly to each other. In this thesis I strive to rectify these errors by examining a range of pictorial images of Buckingham, considering the different audiences of painting and verse libel and addressing the seventeenth-century understanding of the medium of painting, which defended painterly illusionism and positioned painting as a ritualized language.
