Foremost, I wish to thank my dissertation chairperson, Ronald L. Akers, for his advice, guidance, and patience throughout this project. His valuable criticisms, suggestions and contributions were the basis on which this dissertation was built and improved. And his excellent professional standards inspired me to put forth my best work. I wish also to thank and express my sincerest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee, Professors Lonn Lanza-Kaduce, John Scanzoni, Chris Faircloth and Jerry Cutler. Their insightful comments and helpful feedback were invaluable to the development and success of this project. Special thanks goes to Jay Gubrium, whose early belief in the project enthused me . I wish to sincerely thank my respondents, who opened themselves and shared with me and gave generously of their time and without whom this project would not be possible. I wish to thank my graduate colleagues in the sociology department at the University of Florida, especially those within my cohort, Dana Fennell, John Foster, Melissa Mauldin, Mike Loree, and Ginger Battista. I have been fortunate to have their friendship and support through the years I was in graduate school. Other departmental colleagues from whom I have received inspiration and support in their unique and individual ways are John Reitzel, Kuniko Chijiwa, and Yuko Fujino. I wish to thank my parents Dale A. Hipke and Martha V. Hipke whose encouragement was unwavering and whose means gave me the ability to work on the project without distractions, my brother, Dr. Matt Hipke who provided me with a superb example of what results when one devotes themself to something they love, and my brother Wade Hipke, who, in spirit, continues 4 to give me confidence and courage. And a special word of thanks to Jacqueline Moffitt, who has stood by throughout the years. Finally, I thank Moses, whose tireless devotion and selfless love gave me a reason to keep going daily. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Fantasied images of women: representations of myths of the golden apples in “classic” Victorian Paintings This article proposes to examine the treatment of Greek myths of the golden apples in paintings by late-Victorian artists then categorized in contemporary reception as “classical” or “classic.” These terms recur in many reviews published in periodicals.1 The artists concerned were trained in the academic and neoclassical Continental tradition, and they turned to Antiquity for their forms and subjects.

  • Qualcosa Mi Dice Che in Questo Quadro Ci Sono Alcuni Degli Elementi Per Me Più Importanti
    – Qualcosa mi dice che in questo quadro ci sono alcuni degli elementi per me più importanti. Dei significati che devo ancora scoprire. È per questo che lo tengo…– – Something is suggesting to me that in this painting there are some of the most important factors for me. Some meanings that I have yet to discover. That’s why I keep it...– Filippo Stivaletta – Penso che non sia solo un richiamo a Dante Gabriel Rossetti, ma proprio al sommo Dante. Il fiore velenoso sta a significare non l’amore che porta alla morte, ma l’esatto contrario. La morte che porta all’amore, quello metafisico. L’abbandono del mondo materiale per la scoperta e la conquista del vero spirituale. Vedi, rappresenta la Filosofia, la comprensione delle cose, del loro fine ultimo…– – I think it is not only a reference to Dante Gabriel Rossetti, but just to the supreme Dante. The poisonous flower symbolizes not love leading to death, but the exact opposite. The death leading to love, the metaphysical one. The abandonment of the material world for the discovery and conquest of the spiritual truth. As you can see, it represents the Philosophy, the understanding of things, of their ultimate goal...– Alessandro Obino Il ritorno dopo il lungo viaggio Filippo Stivaletta raccoglie l’eredità di un grande artista dell’epoca vittoriana, Frederic Leighton, e porta la sua enigmatica Flaming June sul Golfo d’oro della città di Vasto. Il suo omaggio si rivolge, allo stesso tempo, alla bellezza muliebre, forse mai celebrata con tanto splendore come dai preraffaeliti, ed al significato esoterico che la figura femminile in loro, misteriosamente, rappresenta.

Hewes Number: 60 Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Low studied at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, and then in Paris with Carolus-Duran and at the Academy Julian with Bouguereau, Lefebvre, and T. Robert Fleury.1 Other American women at the Academy Julian included Ellen Day Hale, Gabrielle Clements, Dora Wheeler, Amanda Brewster, Rosina Emmet, Lydia Field Emmet, Cecilia Beaux and Elizabeth Nourse.2 She married the artist Frederick MacMonnies in 1888 and lived in Paris and Giverny during the summers in the 1890s. They divorced and she married the artist Will H. Low in 1909; he had also studied with Carolus-Duran and the Ecoles de Beaux Arts.3 He was renowned as a mural and landscape painter. After their marriage, she lived in Bronxville, New York, just outside of New York City. Her figure paintings were exhibited in both France and the United States with great frequency.4 This was a substantial commission from a major artist and suggests the important status of the family within the city of Worcester. For example, in 1905, the parents of Harry W. Goddard celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary in the brand new residence at 190 Salisbury Street. At the same event, Eleanor Goddard celebrated her sixteenth birthday. The detailed description of this event in the Worcester newspaper lists all of the guests, provides family background for 1 Lois M.

    PRESS RELEASE A Victorian Obsession: The Pérez Simón Collection at Leighton House Museum 14 November 2014 – 29 March 2015 From 14 November 2014, Leighton House Museum will be home to rarely seen masterpieces of Victorian art belonging to the Mexican collector Juan Antonio Pérez Simón. A Victorian Obsession: The Pérez Simón Collection at Leighton House Museum comprises 50 exceptional paintings from the largest Victorian private art collection outside Great Britain, shown for the first time in the UK. Alongside five works by Frederic, Lord Leighton (four of which will be returning to the house in which they were painted) A Victorian Obsession will present paintings which have seldom if ever been exhibited before by many of the most celebrated Victorian artists, illustrating the astonishingly diverse representations of women that characterised this period of British art. The images range from the domestic to the romantic and from the symbolic to the overtly sensual. The exhibition’s highlights include Alma-Tadema’s magnificent The Roses of Heliogabalus (1888), an iconic image of Roman decadence which has not been exhibited in London since 1913. One of the great paintings of the Victorian era, it memorably depicts the Emperor Heliogabalus’s suffocation of his guests beneath a torrent of rose petals. Leighton’s Greek Girls Picking up Pebbles on the Sea Shore (1871) is one of his earliest and most striking ‘aesthetic’ works, placing formal harmony above narrative content and showing Leighton as the master of English drapery. Two further works, Antigone (1882) and the sexually charged Crenaia (ca.1880), feature the model Dorothy Dene.

    News Release The Muse at Leighton House Museum Beauty. Nudity. Ambition. The Rise and Fall of Fame A new multimedia play by Palimpsest From 12 – 28 March 2014 In March Leighton House Museum, former home and studio of Frederic, Lord Leighton, hosts the world premiere of The Muse, a multi-media play by theatre company Palimpsest. Based on recent research, the play brings to light new revelations about the fascinating relationship between the Victorian artist and his muse, the actress Dorothy Dene. The ten-night only production is the culmination of an extensive programme of events accompanying the current exhibition at Leighton House, A Victorian Obsession. The Pérez Simón Collection (14 November – 29 March 2015) which showcases masterpieces from the largest private collection of Victorian art outside the UK, including images of Dorothy Dene herself. Following the sell-out success of the production Hedda in April 2014, Leighton House is delighted to be working again with Palimpsest to present an extended run of a new multi-media play that fuses theatre, film and online elements. The play begins with a drinks soirée and then the scene moves through the glorious salons of Leighton’s palace of art to culminate in the artist’s studio, where Dorothy often posed nude for Leighton.
