Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dealing with a complex king, this edited collection elucidates a monarch's vision of Rome that deeply affected his political choices and cultural policy during the first half of the eighteenth-century. John V of Portugal became king in 1707 in a pivotal moment for the European balance of power. The Kingdom of Portugal was still demanding the same privileges as its powerful neighbours and the relation with Rome was considered a vehicle to obtain them. Arts and music had a special and unprecedented place in the king's plans and this book approaches that dynamic from several interdisciplinary perspectives.The unifying thread across this book's chapters remains the omnipresence of Rome as a paradigm on several levels: political, religious, intellectual, artistic, and musical. Rather than providing an exhaustive analysis of the period as a whole, this study offers a fresh approach for English readers to this classic, but little known, topic in Portuguese national historiography. Pilar Diez del Corral Corredoira is Ramón y Cajal Fellow based at the Art History department of the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (Madrid). She wrote a PhD on Classical Art and has widely published in international journals (The Burlington Magazine, Storia dell'Arte, etc). Her current research is focused on Iberian cultural identities, artistic mobility and diplomacy in Rome in the 18th Century.

This book was released on 2021-09-08 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was the role of art in the context of rapidly changing political alliances of the early modern period? The interdisciplinary contributions to this volume explore this question from the perspectives of "War and Peace," "Jesuits and Diplomacy," "Negotiating with Faith," and "Court and Diplomatic Celebrations". Special attention is paid to those art genres that were suitable for easy distribution due to their reproducibility, such as medals and prints. But also paintings, tombs and ephemeral festivities like fireworks served the manifestation of claims to power. The exemplary analyses provide a broad view of the political dimensions of early modern transcultural artistic exchange in Europe and beyond.

This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sculptor Antonio Canova was the most celebrated artist of a perilously protean and fractious era. In revolutionary and Napoleonic Europe, while other artists bent to the will of the political powers that commissioned their work, producing art in the service of the state, Canova managed to resist both threats and blandishments. Although he held strong opinions on the issues of his day, he avoided direct political or ideological engagement in his sculpture. Christopher M. S. Johns presents the first sustained study of Canova's career in relation to his patrons and contemporary politics. In it he enlarges our understanding of an artist whose work is crucial to the evaluation of European art and political history.

Book excerpt: How do political authorities build support for themselves and their rule? Doing so is key to accruing power, but it can be a complicated affair. This book shows how social processes can legitimate new rulers and make their exercise of power seem natural. Historically, political authorities have used carefully crafted symbols and practices to create a cultural infrastructure for rule, most notably through nationalism and state-building. The European Union (EU), as a new governance form, faces a particularly acute set of challenges in naturalising itself.

Download or read book Dreaming in Public written by Daniel Stanley Smith and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the thirteenth century, the city of Rome was adorned with frescoes, mosaics, and sculptures of dreaming figures: images that frequently depicted a sleeping figure amidst an oneiric scene. This dissertation argues that these dream depictions were a powerful visual tool in the period, one that used the intimate qualities of dreaming to address its audience in profoundly personal terms. These dream images in medieval Rome assimilated scientific conceptions into the visual arts, drew on popular cultures of dream interpretation and divination, illustrated both contemporary and historical political aspirations as well as theology and eschatology. Ultimately this powerful medium, I argue, became a carefully crafted political tool, one that the papacy wielded to great effect in the thirteenth century to illustrate the extent of its role in the life of the faithful, a doctrine clearly espoused by the church beginning with the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215. The first chapter explores the roots of this visual phenomenon, examining the political context and history of how an image of Emperor Constantine dreaming became a central visual device in a small and heavily fortified papal chapel at the Basilica of Santi Quattro Coronati. The second chapter focusses on dream images in the public square: arguing that a scene of a dream depicted on the façade of the church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli served as an overt political statement precisely by appealing to popular practices of dream interpretation. The third chapter considers the city's most prominent dream image, the façade of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, within the intellectual and scientific culture of the period, arguing that the peculiar image functioned as a kind of diagram of cutting-edge dream science. The final chapter examines thirteenth-century conceptions of dream interpretation, reassessing now-lost frescoes of the Basilica of San Paolo fuori le mura as like a dream to be interpreted by its viewers. A further conclusion reflects on the ethics and politics of this kind of Art History, considering dream interpretation as fundamental part of art historical analysis and methodology. By considering these dreams images as the fundamentally visual nexus of scientific discovery, mass culture, popular religious practices, and political histories in the city I argue that these prominent images of the oneiric were a powerful and political visual medium in medieval Rome that has been largely overlooked in histories of the city.

Download or read book Papal Bull written by Margaret Meserve and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Europe's oldest political institution come to grips with the disruptive new technology of print? Printing thrived after it came to Rome in the 1460s. Renaissance scholars, poets, and pilgrims in the Eternal City formed a ready market for mass-produced books. But Rome was also a capital city—seat of the Renaissance papacy, home to its bureaucracy, and a hub of international diplomacy—and print played a role in these circles, too. In Papal Bull, Margaret Meserve uncovers a critical new dimension of the history of early Italian printing by revealing how the Renaissance popes wielded print as a political tool. Over half a century of war and controversy—from approximately 1470 to 1520—the papacy and its agents deployed printed texts to potent effect, excommunicating enemies, pursuing diplomatic alliances, condemning heretics, publishing indulgences, promoting new traditions, and luring pilgrims and their money to the papal city. Early modern historians have long stressed the innovative press campaigns of the Protestant Reformers, but Meserve shows that the popes were even earlier adopters of the new technology, deploying mass communication many decades before Luther. The papacy astutely exploited the new medium to broadcast ancient claims to authority and underscore the centrality of Rome to Catholic Christendom. Drawing on a vast archive, Papal Bull reveals how the Renaissance popes used print to project an authoritarian vision of their institution and their capital city, even as critics launched blistering attacks in print that foreshadowed the media wars of the coming Reformation. Papal publishing campaigns tested longstanding principles of canon law promulgation, developed new visual and graphic vocabularies, and prompted some of Europe's first printed pamphlet wars. An exciting interdisciplinary study based on new literary, historical, and bibliographical evidence, this book will appeal to students and scholars of the Italian Renaissance, the Reformation, and the history of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community and Communication: Oratory and Politics in Republican Rome brings together nineteen international contributions which rethink the role of public speech in the Roman Republic. Speech was an integral part of decision-making in Republican Rome, and oratory was part of the education of every member of the elite. Yet no complete speech from the period by anyone other than Cicero survives, and as a result the debate on oratory, and political practice more widely, is liable to be distorted by the distinctive features of Cicero's oratorical practice. With careful attention to a wide range of ancient evidence, this volume shines a light on orators other than Cicero, and considers the oratory of diplomatic exchanges and impromptu heckling and repartee alongside the more familiar genres of forensic and political speech. In doing so, it challenges the idea that Cicero was a normative figure, and highlights the variety of career choices and speech strategies open to Roman politicians. The essays in the volume also demonstrate how unpredictable the outcomes of oratory were: politicians could try to control events by cherry-picking their audience and using tried methods of persuasion, but incompetence, bad luck, or hostile listeners were constant threats.
