Thomas Jefferson, believing that no Amer- ican sculptor was up to the challenge of depicting the fledg- ling nation’s first president, recommended Antonio Canova, at the time one of Europe’s most celebrated artists. The first and only work Canova created for America, the statue was unveiled to great acclaim in 1821. Tragically, only a decade later, a fire swept through the State House, reducing the mar- ble to just a few charred fragments. Canova’s George Washington examines the history of the artist’s lost masterpiece, probably the least well known of his public monuments. It brings together for the first time Cano- va’s full-sized plaster model (which has never before left Italy), preparatory sketches, and related engravings and drawings. Also included in the exhibition is Thomas Lawrence’s 1816 oil portrait of Canova, which, like the plaster and several sketches, is on loan from the Gypsotheca e Museo Antonio Canova in Possagno, Italy, the birthplace of the artist. The exhibition was organized by Xavier F. Salomon, Peter Jay Sharp Chief Curator, The Frick Collection. Principal fund- ing is provided by an anonymous gift in memory of Melvin R. Seiden and by Ambassador and Mrs. W. L. Lyons Brown. Addi- tional support is generously provided by Mrs. Daniel Cowin in honor of Ian Wardropper; Dr. and Mrs. James S.

The panels—the Frick’s Virgin and Child with St. Barbara, St. Elizabeth, and Jan Vos, by Jan van Eyck and his workshop, and The Virgin and Child with St. Barbara and Jan Vos by Petrus Christus, now in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin—were commissioned by Vos during his tenure as prior of the Carthusian monastery (or charterhouse) of Bru- ges. The panels will be presented with Carthusian objects that place them in their rich monastic context, offering a glimpse into the visual environment of the charterhouse and high- lighting the role that images played in shaping devotional life and funerary practices in Europe during the late Middle Ages. The exhibition was organized by Emma Capron, Anne L. Poulet Curatorial Fellow, The Frick Collection. Major fund- ing is provided by Howard S. Marks and Nancy Marks and an anonymous gift in memory of Melvin R. Seiden. Additional support is generously provided by The Andrew W.

This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert and Robert Fredona ABSTRACT: N.S.B. Gras, the father of Business History in the United States, argued that the era of mercantile capitalism was defined by the figure of the “sedentary merchant,” who managed his business from home, using correspondence and intermediaries, in contrast to the earlier “traveling merchant,” who accompanied his own goods to trade fairs. Taking this concept as its point of departure, this essay focuses on the predominantly Italian merchants who controlled the long‐distance East‐West trade of the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Until the opening of the Atlantic trade, the Mediterranean was Europe’s most important commercial zone and its trade enriched European civilization and its merchants developed the most important premodern mercantile innovations, from maritime insurance contracts and partnership agreements to the bill of exchange and double‐entry bookkeeping. Emerging from literate and numerate cultures, these merchants left behind an abundance of records that allows us to understand how their companies, especially the largest of them, were organized and managed.

  • The Sack of Rome and the Theme of Cultural Discontinuity
    CHAPTER ONE THE SACK OF ROME AND THE THEME OF CULTURAL DISCONTINUITY i. Introduction The Sack of Rome had unmatched significance for contemporaries, and it triggered momentous cultural and intellectual transformations. It stands apart from the many other brutal conquests of the time, such as the sack of Prato fifteen years earlier, because Rome held a place of special prominence in the Renaissance imagination.1 This prominence was owed in part to the city's geographical position on the ruins of the ancient city of Rome, which provided an ever-pres­ ent visual reminder of its classical role sis caput mundi.2 Just as impor­ tant for contemporary observers, it stood at the center of Western Christendom: a position to which it had been restored in 1443, when Pope Eugenius IV returned the papacy to the Eternal City.3 In the ensuing decades, the Renaissance popes strove to rebuild the physical city and to enhance both the theoretical claim of the papacy to uni­ versal impenum and its actual political and ecclesiastical sway, which the recent schism had eroded. Modern historians, who have tended to confirm contemporaries' assessment of Rome's centrality in Renaissance European culture, have similarly viewed the events of 1527 as marking a critical turning point. The nineteenth-century German scholar Ferdinand Gregoro- vius chose the Imperial conquest of 1527 as the terminus ad quern for his monumental eight-volume history of Rome in the Middle Ages, 1 Eric Cochrane, Italy, 1530-1630 (London and New York, 1988), 9-10, also draws attention to this contrast. 2 On Renaissance Roman antiquarianism and archaeology, see the sources cited in Philip Jacks, The Antiquarian and the Myth of Antiquity: The Origins of Rome in Renaissance Thought (Cambridge, 1993); and idem, "The Simulachrum of Fabio Calvo: A View of Roman Architecture aWantka in 1527," Art Bulletin 72 (1990): 453-81.

Goizueta, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT HONOR AND CARITAS: BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS, SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, AND THE CONQUEST OF THE AMERICAS Name: Costello, Damian Matthew University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier This dissertation - a postcolonial re-examination of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th century Spanish priest often called “The Protector of the Indians” - is a conversation between three primary components: a biography of Las Casas, an interdisciplinary history of the conquest of the Americas and early Latin America, and an analysis of the Spanish debate over the morality of Spanish colonialism. The work adds two new theses to the scholarship of Las Casas: a reassessment of the process of Spanish expansion and the nature of Las Casas’s opposition to it. The first thesis challenges the dominant paradigm of 16th century Spanish colonialism, which tends to explain conquest as the result of perceived religious and racial difference; that is, Spanish conquistadors turned to military force as a means of imposing Spanish civilization and Christianity on heathen Indians.

  • Landscape, Gender, and the Late Medieval Castle
    FIRST DRAFT, FOR ORAL PRESENTATION: PLEASE DON’T CITE WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST. THANKS. Matthew Johnson Dept of Anthropology Northwestern University 1810 Hinman Ave. Evanston, IL60201 USA [email protected] tel 847-467-3021 fax 847-467-1778 LANDSCAPE, GENDER AND THE LATE MEDIEVAL CASTLE (paper for 6th IEMA Visiting Scholars Conference: "Engendering Landscape & Landscaping Gender", April 2013, Buffalo, NY, USA) Abstract: This paper takes as its focus the intersection of landscape and gender at one particular late medieval castle: Bodiam, in south-east England. Northwestern University and the University of Southampton have been working in collaboration to survey the landscape around Bodiam since 2010. Bodiam is unusual in being largely of one build, associated with Sir Edward Dallingrygge and dated to the 1380s. Traditional narratives place Bodiam in a military context, as a coastal defence against the French, or talk in looser terms about Bodiam as a status symbol, an old soldier's dream house, the center of an ornamental medieval garden, or an expression of late medieval Gothic style. All these narratives fail to engage with gender issues overtly, though of course they can easily be deconstructed to reveal underlying assumptions about values of masculinity and patriarchy. My analysis starts with the observation that prior to the building of the castle the manor of Bodiam came to Dallingrygge through his wife, Elizabeth Wardedieu. It was her manor, literally and metaphorically. This inheritance is given material expression in the heraldry above the gatehouse, where Dallingrygge' arms are placed alongside those of the Wardedieu family. I broaden this observation out at a series of scales.

  • Celebrating War with the Mongols
    CHAPTER 7 Celebrating War with the Mongols David M. Robinson Introduction War with the Mongols was a formative experience for the Ming dynasty (1368– 1644).1 From the 1360s to the 1380s, Zhu Yuanzhang 朱元璋, the founding ruler who is commonly known as the Hongwu 洪武 emperor (r. 1368–98), ordered military campaigns against Mongol leaders first in north China, then on the steppe, in the forested hills and plains of Liaodong 遼東, and in the semi- tropical region of Yunnan 雲南 to the southwest. His son, Zhu Di 朱棣, the Yongle 永樂 emperor (r. 1403–24), personally led his armies into the steppe five times, a signature feature of his reign. Such campaigns were an enormous burden on the fledgling Ming dynasty, requiring massive commitments of manpower, administrative energy, financial resources, and political capital. The results were mixed. The Ming court expelled or coopted Mongol forces in north China, Liaodong, Yunnan, and the southern edge of the steppe. During the 1360s and again in the 1380s, Ming imperial armies inflicted serious de- feats on the remnants of the Yuan court deep in the steppe but failed to elimi- nate Mongol polities in either the eastern or western Mongolian steppe. The Yongle emperor and his court claimed victories but seldom achieved decisive triumphs. Given their significance, the Ming dynasty’s conflicts with the Mongols have been one of the most thoroughly studied facets of the Ming period, as scholars have analyzed their implications for foreign policy, trade, border defense, logis- tics, political legitimacy, and perceptions of the Other.2 Rather than replicate 1 I would like to acknowledge my gratitude to Joseph Lam who generously shared his exper- tise of Ming court music with me.

  • Goose Management and Rearing in Late Medieval Eastern England, C.1250–1400*
    Goose management and rearing in late medieval eastern England, c.1250–1400* by Philip Slavin Abstract: The present article discusses goose farming on late medieval English demesnes. The research is based on over 2,700 manorial (demesne) accounts from several eastern counties, including Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire and parts of the Peterborough hinterland. The paper discusses various strategies employed by lords and their reeves, chronological dynamics and geographic differences in rearing, disposal and consumption patterns. Finally, the place of the goose in the livestock trade is discussed. These aspects are linked to larger economic and ecological processes within the shifting environment of late medieval England. Although pre-industrial diets in England were dominated by grain products in the form of bread, pottage and ale, ‘complementary’ foodstuffs, consisting of dairy products, fish and meat, and including poultry, played a significant role in consumption. Poultry husbandry in general, and goose farming in particular, have attracted little scholarly attention.1 The present study * I wish to thank Bruce M. S.
