  • Classical Nakedness in British Sculpture and Historical Painting 1798-1840 Cora Hatshepsut Gilroy-Ware Ph.D Univ
    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

  • 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.

The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

  • FRAMING the MUSEUM the Evolution of the Museum As an Encoded Site of Interpretation and Display by Craig Judd
    Framing the Museum Craig Judd OPENING ADDRESS FOCUS FEST 2000, November 10, AGNSW FRAMING THE MUSEUM the evolution of the museum as an encoded site of interpretation and display by Craig Judd There are many codes that swirl around the museum. There are codes that relate to the creation of culture, history and tradition. There are codes that relate to the activities and roles of the artist. There are also codes that relate to language and the senses. While adopting a broad historical framework for this text, there will be a concentration on explaining some of the experiences that we can gain in the contemporary art environment, more specifically the contemporary art museum. Another framework for this text is a journey through the history of art. I touch upon prehistoric acts of collection, to ideas of treasure and its holding place -the treasury, then to often-quirky private collections, the rooms of wonders and curiosities (Wunderkammer or Kunstkammern). There is also mention of the development of private collections that have a more scientific basis but the main concentration is the realm of the public museum. In the last 30 years hundreds of museums have been built. There are many different types of museum as there are different types of history. In Australia there are buildings that house the local historical societies collections to more commercial enterprises like the Ned Kelly Museum at Glenrowan in Victoria. There are historic houses such as Norman Lindsay’s home in Springwood or the more recently built Bundanon studio complex donated by Arthur Boyd to the people of Australia.

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.
