A massive "merci beaucoup" to Dr. Jean-Luc Bordeaux, without whom completion of my Master’s degree thesis would never have been fulfilled. It was through Dr. Bordeaux’s leadership, patience, as well as his tremendous knowledge of Renaissance art, Mannerist art, and museum art collections that I was able to achieve this ultimate goal in spite of numerous obstacles. My most heart-felt, gigantic appreciation to Dr. David Leitch, for his leadership, patience, innovative ideas, vast knowledge of political-theory, as well as political science at the intersection of aesthetic theory. Thank you also to Dr. Owen Doonan, for his amazing assistance with aesthetic theory and classical mythology. I am very grateful as well to Dr. Mario Ontiveros, for his advice, passion, and incredible knowledge of political art and art theory. And many thanks to Dr. Peri Klemm, for her counsel and spectacular help with the role of "spectacle" in art history.

    Pre-Modern Iberian Fragments in the Present: Studies in Philology, Time, Representation and Value By Heather Marie Bamford A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Jesús Rodríguez-Velasco, Co-Chair Professor José Rabasa, Co-Chair Professor Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht Professor Ignacio Navarrete Professor David Hult Fall 2010 1 Abstract Pre-Modern Iberian Fragments in the Present: Studies in Philology, Time, Representation, and Value by Heather Marie Bamford Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Literatures and Languages University of California, Berkeley Professors Jesús Rodríguez-Velasco and José Rabasa, Co-Chairs This dissertation examines the uses of medieval and early-modern Iberian cultural objects in the present. It draws on the notion of fragment and actual fragmentary testimonies to study how pre- modern Iberian things and texts are reconstituted and used for various projects of personal, institutional, national and transnational reconstitution in the present. The corpus objects are necessarily diverse in chronological scope, with examples from the medieval, early-modern and modern periods, and touch upon works of many genres: chivalric romance, royal and personal correspondence, early-modern and modern historiography, Hispano-Arabic and Hispano-Hebrew lyric, inscriptions, pre-modern and modern biographies and 21st century book exhibitions. The dissertation proposes that Iberian fragments are engaged in various forms of reconstitution or production in the present and, at the same time, are held as timeless, unchanging entities that have the capability to allow users to connect with something genuinely old, truly Spanish and, indeed, eternal.

  • The Guns of August by Bruce Arthur Round 9 1. Important Pre-Battle
    The Guns of August By Bruce Arthur Round 9 1. Important pre-battle developments included the capture of San Angelo, the wounding of Giovanni de Medici, which forced the withdrawl of the Black Band, and the arrival of 15,000 reinforcements under Georg Frundsberg, whose forces would eventually intercept and defeat Robert de la Marck’s pikemen, who had been sent to stop Alfonso d’Avalos and his arquebusiers, who used a newly-made breach to enter the walled park of Mirabello in which this battle took place. Soon, forces commanded by Charles of Lannoy and loyal to the Habsburgs had badly divided the encamped French, resulting in the slaughter of many nobles and the capture of Francis I. For ten points, name this decisive victory for Charles V, an Italian battle of 1525. Answer: Battle of Pavia 2. After being re-elected to Congress on the Unionist ticket, he and Andrew Johnson co-authored a Congressional resolution stating that the purpose of the Civil War was not to abolish slavery. John Quincy Adams unsuccessfully nominated him for the Supreme Court, and in order to resolve a dispute between Archibald Dixon and William Graves, this Attorney General to Millard Fillmore and William Henry Harrison was given the 1848 Whig nomination for Governor of Kentucky, a demotion because he already held the Senate seat vacated by Henry Clay. For ten points, name this American politician best known for an unsuccessful compromise to avert the Civil War. Answer: John Jordan Crittenden 3. On one expedition where he would help capture the fortress of Dinan from Conan II, he was shipwrecked and held hostage by the Count of Ponthieu.

DESCRIPTORS *History: military Personnel: *Military Science: *Military Training: Study Guides ABSTRACT This study guide On military history is intended for use with the young officer just entering upon a military career. There are four major sections to the guide. Part one discusses the scope and value of military history, presents a perspective on military history; and examines essentials of a study program. The study of military history has both an educational and a utilitarian value. It allows soldiers to look upon war as a whole and relate its activities to the periods of peace from which it rises and to which it returns. Military history also helps in developing a professional frame of mind and, in the leadership arena, it shows the great importance of character and integrity. In talking about a study program, the guide says that reading biographies of leading soldiers or statesmen is a good way to begin the study of military history. The best way to keep a study program current is to consult some of the many scholarly historical periodicals such as the "American Historical Review" or the "Journal of Modern History." Part two, which comprises almost half the guide, contains a bibliographical essay on military history, including great military historians and philosophers, world military history, and U.S.

  • The Battle of Pavia 1525" (Visconti Castle, Pavia, June–November 2015) Associated Event of Expo 2015 in Milan, Italy
    AComIn participates in the Exhibition "The Battle of Pavia 1525" (Visconti Castle, Pavia, June–November 2015) Associated event of Expo 2015 in Milan, Italy The AComIn project provides 3D restoration of historical events for the exhibition "The Battle of Pavia 1525". The novel IT approach to bring cultural heritage artifacts closer to people is implemented jointly with the Computer Vision and Multimedia Lab of Pavia University, headed by Prof. Virginio Cantoni. The Battle of Pavia is the decisive engagement of the Italian War (1521-1526) where France fights against Spain and the Holy Roman Empire for dominance in Italy.

  • Julia Bourbois 23.1.2006.Proofed
    1 Painted Soldiers: An Examination of Armor in 16th Century Portraiture Julia Bourbois The craft of the blacksmith is traditionally beyond the scope of art history; however, armor is an integral component of Western European artistic and social culture. Armor bears witness to the physical attributes of the men who wore it. Its depiction in portraits expressed the sitter’s tastes, military prowess, and he wished to be perceived that way. Portraits also provide important information for the study of armor. Many pieces in museum collections are composite suits and some have had extensive reconstruction. Portraits can inform us of the armor’s original appearance, about the men who commissioned it and the changing role of armor during the 16th century. Dosso and Battista Dossi, Portrait of Alfonso I D’Este, ca. 1530. Galleria Estense, Modena The armor in the Portrait of Alfonso I d’Este by Dosso and Battista Dossi at the Galleria Estense was likely Italian in origin. The portrait suggests the armor was for use in combat or possibly in tournament. This was indicated by the depiction of large protective plates for the shoulder (generally termed “guardbraces”), and the lance rest – a prong attached to the breastplate that helped to absorb recoil and maintain momentum. Gilded roped edges embellished the plates protecting the shoulders and elbows. Overall it is a subdued level of decoration. For gentlemen of 1 Discoveries 23.1 (2006): 1-8 2 Alfonso’s rank, less decorated suits were associated with competition rather than pageantry. The Portrait of Alfonso I d’Este is a commemorative representation of Alfonso I d’Este.

  • Cecilia Paredes, the Confusion of the Battlefield. a New Perspective On
    RIHA Journal 0102 | 28 December 2014 The Confusion of the Battlefield. A New Perspective on the Tapestries of the Battle of Pavia (c. 1525-1531) Cecilia Paredes Editing and peer review managed by: Simon Laevers, Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA), Brussels Reviewers: Ingrid De Meûter, Elsje Janssen Abstract This contribution is devoted to the tapestry cycle of the Battle of Pavia conserved at the Museo Capodimonte in Naples. Seven tapestries compose this prestigious tapestry set that commemorates the first military success of Charles V: the battle held in Pavia on 24 February 1525. Up to now the tapestries have been interpreted as independent panels representing different episodes of the battle. In this contribution we will show that the seven panels actually originated in one single design, which we rediscovered by assembling them in a different sequence. In fact, the panels provide a description of the battle in a fabulous and unique panoramic landscape: the most monumental siege city view ever conceived in the sixteenth century. This discovery not only changes our lecture of the tapestries, but also raises numerous questions that should be addressed in future studies. Contents Introduction The Battle of Pavia and the tapestries From disorder to order A new perspective on the tapestries The landscape in the related drawings The tapestries of Pavia and the iconography of the battle Conclusions Introduction [1] On the upper floor of the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, located on the heights of Naples, the visitor can lose himself for hours in the contemplation of the seven tapestries that are on permanent display in the "Sala dell' Arazzi":1 the tapestry set of the Battle of Pavia.

  • The Administration of Spain Under Charles V, Spain's New Charlemagne
    THE ADMINISTRATION OF SPAIN UNDER CHARLES V, SPAIN’S NEW CHARLEMAGNE Joseph Beard, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2005 APPROVED: Laura Stern, Major Professor Marilyn Morris, Committee Member Peter Lane, Committee Member Harold Tanner, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Beard, Joseph, The Administration of Spain Under Charles V, Spain’s New Charlemagne. Master of Arts (History), May 2005, 232 pp., 3 tables, bibliography, 110 titles. Charles I, King of Spain, or Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, was the most powerful ruler in Europe since Charlemagne. With a Germanic background, and speaking French, Charles became King of Spain in 1516. Yet secondary sources and available sixteenth century Spanish sources such as Spanish Royal Council records, local records of Castro Urdiales in Castile, and Charles’s correspondence show that he continued the policies of his predecessors in Spain, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile. He strove to strengthen his power and unify Spain and his empire using Castilian strength, a Castilian model of government, Roman law, religion, his strong personality, and a loyal and talented bureaucracy. Charles desired to be another Charlemagne, but with his base of power in Spain. TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES………………………………………………………………...……..iii Chapter 1.
