  • 'All Wemen in Thar Degree Shuld to Thar Men Subiectit Be': the Controversial Court Career of Elisabeth Parr, Marchioness Of
    ‘All wemen in thar degree shuld to thar men subiectit be’: The controversial court career of Elisabeth Parr, marchioness of Northampton, c. 1547-1565 Helen Joanne Graham-Matheson, BA, MA. Thesis submitted to UCL for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Declaration I, Helen Joanne Graham-Matheson confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis reconstructs and analyses the life and agency of Elisabeth Parr, marchioness of Northampton (1526-1565), with the aim of increasing understanding of women’s networks of influence and political engagement at the mid-Tudor courts, c. 1547- 1565. Analysis of Elisabeth’s life highlights that in the absence of a Queen consort the noblewomen of the Edwardian court maintained and utilized access to those in power and those with political significance and authority. During the reign of Mary Tudor, Elisabeth worked with her natal family to undermine Mary’s Queenship and support Elizabeth Tudor, particularly by providing her with foreign intelligence. At the Elizabethan court Elisabeth regained her title (lost under Mary I) and occupied a position as one of the Queen’s most trusted confidantes and influential associates. Her agency merited attention from ambassadors and noblemen as well as from the Emperor Maximilian and King Erik of Sweden, due to the significant role she played in several major contemporary events, such as Elizabeth’s early marriage negotiations. This research is interdisciplinary, incorporating early modern social, political and cultural historiographies, gender studies, social anthropology, sociology and the study of early modern literature.

  • Philipp Von Stosch (1691–1757) and the Study of Engraved Gems Paweł Gołyzniaḱ *
    Antiquity 2021 page 1 of 9 https://doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2021.112 Project Gallery From antiquarianism to proto-archaeology: Philipp von Stosch (1691–1757) and the study of engraved gems Paweł Gołyzniaḱ * * Institute of Archaeology, Jagiellonian University, Poland (✉ [email protected]) Examination of Philipp von Stosch’s documentation of engraved gems, discovered in previously unknown archival sources in the Princes Czartoryski Museum in Krakow and other public and private collections, considerably advances our understanding of the move from antiquarianism to proto-archaeology in the eighteenth century. Keywords: antiquarianism, proto-archaeology, archiving, engraved gems, history of archaeology, Philipp von Stosch Introduction Philipp von Stosch (1691–1757) (Figure 1) is regarded as one of the most instrumental figures in eighteenth-century antiquarianism (Hansson 2014). While previous research has focused on his life and role as a collector (Lewis 1967; Zazoff & Zazoff 1983:3–67), the production of his outstanding book on gems (signed by ancient masters and published in 1724 (Heringa 1976; Zazoff & Zazoff 1983:24–50; Whiteley 1999)) and his collection of engraved gems published by Winckelmann in 1760 (Borbein et al. 2019), his other con- tributions to academia have been overlooked. This article considers his skill in building and managing collections and, perhaps most importantly, his collaboration with numerous artists who produced drawings apparently intended as illustrations for his virtually unrecognised scholarly projects. The Stosch Project An extensive collection of unpublished drawings of engraved gems discovered in the Princes Czartoryski Museum in Krakow provided an opportunity to explore Stosch’s scholarly activ- ities. The drawings record small objects made of precious stones used in antiquity as seals, amulets or as personal adornments.

  • Engraved Gems
    & Baan (eds) & Baan Bercken den Van ENGRAVED GEMS Many are no larger than a fingertip. They are engraved with symbols, magic spells and images of gods, animals and emperors. These stones were used for various purposes. The earliest ones served as seals for making impressions in soft materials. Later engraved gems were worn or carried as personal ornaments – usually rings, but sometimes talismans or amulets. The exquisite engraved designs were thought to imbue the gems with special powers. For example, the gods and rituals depicted on cylinder seals from Mesopotamia were thought to protect property and to lend force to agreements marked with the seals. This edited volume discusses some of the finest and most exceptional GEMS ENGRAVED precious and semi-precious stones from the collection of the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities – more than 5.800 engraved gems from the ancient Near East, Egypt, the classical world, renaissance and 17th- 20th centuries – and other special collections throughout Europe. Meet the people behind engraved gems: gem engravers, the people that used the gems, the people that re-used them and above all the gem collectors. This is the first major publication on engraved gems in the collection of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden since 1978.

  • Images of Elizabeth I by Contrasting These Two Pictures
    Lecture (2 hours with a 15 minute break) • When Elizabeth came to the throne in 1558 she was besieged by problems. The had been terrible harvests in the previous two years and rampant inflation partly caused by Henry VIII’s reducing the silver content of coins. In the previous eleven years the country had veered from extreme Protestantism to extreme Catholicism and in 1558 the country had lost Calais, its last remnant of French territory. In addition to all this Elizabeth was a woman and it was assumed she would soon marry with the danger of the country being run by a foreigner for their own country’s interests. • Yet, by the end of her reign, England was a world power. Pope Sixtus V could not understand it: "She is only a woman, only mistress of half an island, and yet she makes herself feared by Spain, by France, by all". • How did she do it? She was intelligent, shrewd, chose her advisers well and became popular by creating and reinforcing powerful images of herself. This talk explores those images and we start by comparing two. Notes (Wikipedia and other sites & books) • Education. The nobility had a different education from us, Lady Elizabeth for example, was taught grammar, theology, history, rhetoric, logic, philosophy, arithmetic, literature, geometry, music and above all languages. By the age of eleven Elizabeth was able to speak fluently in six languages - French, Greek, Latin, Spanish, Welsh and of course English. • Many of her closest advisors were similarly schooled and Elizabethans loved puzzles, word play, and decoding obscure references.

    G. Tassinari, Lettere dell’incisore di pietre dure Francesco Maria Gaetano Ghinghi, “LANX” 7 (2010), pp. 61‐149 Gabriella Tassinari Lettere dell’incisore di pietre dure Francesco Maria Gaetano Ghinghi (1689-1762) ad Anton Francesco Gori * Abstract Le lettere qui esaminate, conservate nella Biblioteca Marucelliana a Firenze, sono scritte da Napoli dal famoso incisore di pietre dure Francesco Maria Gaetano Ghinghi (1689‐1762) al celebre erudito e antiquario Anton Francesco Gori. Esse sono ricche di interessanti notizie relative all’attività del Real Laboratorio delle Pietre Dure di Napoli, fondato nel 1737, di cui il Ghinghi fu il primo direttore, e coordinatore dell’équipe di artisti fiorentini che si erano trasferiti con lui. Il Ghinghi fornisce dati sulla circolazione di gemme a Napoli in quel periodo, sulle antichità di Ercolano (di cui il Gori fu uno dei primi a scrivere) e sulla permanenza a Napoli di Antonio Pichler, capostipite di una illustre famiglia di incisori, che il Ghinghi conosceva bene, perché entrambi lavoravano per il noto collezionista di gemme Philipp von Stosch. Inoltre, in un quadro di scarsa disponibilità di calchi riproducenti gemme della collezione Farnese, acquista gran valore l’invio di tali impronte da parte del Ghinghi al Gori, che così aveva gemme non documentate altrimenti. The letters analysed in this article, now in the Biblioteca Marucelliana in Florence, are written from Naples by the famous gem‐engraver, Francesco Maria Gaetano Ghinghi (1689‐1762) to the renowned scholar and antiquarian Anton Francesco Gori. They give very interesting news about the activity of The Laboratorio delle Pietre Dure in Naples, that began its production in 1738, formed by Ghinghi, the first Director, and the Florentine craftsmen who had come with him.

  • Fameux Amateur Baron Philipp Von Stosch and the Unknown Provenance of Lost Old Masters' Drawings from the Collection of Count
    Fameux amateur A P Baron Philipp von Stosch FAMEUX AMATEUR BARON PHILIPP VON STOSCH AND THE UNKNOWN PROVENANCE OF LOST OLD MASTERS’ DRAWINGS FROM THE COLLECTION OF COUNT STANISŁAW KOSTKA POTOCKI Although a rich literature exists that is dedicated to activities of the collector Stanisław Kostka Potocki, the history of the shaping of his collection of drawings has not yet been analyzed, and in specif- ic the origins of individual copies that entered his collection remain unstudied.1 Relations between the count’s collection and that of Baron Philipp von Stosch remain even less known to this day.2 The lat- Polish Libraries 2018 Vol. 6 1 Very general information on this subject can be found in the work by Zygmunt Batows- ki Zbiór graficzny w Uniwersytecie Warszawskim, Warsaw 1928, p. 42. Even in exhibition catalogues, it is rare to mention where individual drawings originate from, for exam- ple: Le siècle français : francuskie malarstwo i rysunek XVIII wieku ze zbiorów polskich, eds. Iwona Danielewicz and Justyna Guze, Warsaw 2009, p. 421, item 125. 2 To date, this has been mentioned only once, by Elżbieta Skierkowska, who, however, provided inaccurate information (see: Polskie kolekcjonerstwo grafiki i rysunku, Warsaw 1980, pp. 103, 110). Currently, we have been able to refine and correct data on the origin of some of these drawings, which will be discussed later in this article. 115 est archival research carried out at the National Library of Poland in Warsaw’s department of engravings and drawings, followed by work on the catalogue of the graphic-art collection of the Wilanów Library, have shown that twenty-six valuable drawings, originally belonging to Philipp von Stosch’s collection, were among purchases made by Potocki, including works by Raphael, Michelangelo, Correggio, Par- Baron Philipp von Stosch migianino, Annibale and Lodovico Carracci and Rubens.
