Gender and the Woman Artist in Early Modern Iberia
This monograph explores the social constructs surrounding artistic production in early modern Iberia through the lenses of gender and class by examining the rarely considered contribution of creative women in Spain and Portugal between 1550 and 1700. Using the life-stage framework popular in texts of the period and drawing on a broad spectrum of materials including conduct guidebooks, treatises and conventual rules, this book examines the constraints imposed by gender-related social structures through microhistories of nuns, married, and unmarried women. The text spans class boundaries in its analysis of the work of painters, engravers, and sculptors, many of whom have until now eluded scholarly attention in English-language publications. An extensive bibliography promotes new avenues of inquiry into women’s contributions to the visual arts of the period. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, gender studies, women’s history, early modern Iberian studies, and Renaissance studies.
A Companion to the Spanish Renaissance
A Companion to the Spanish Renaissance makes a renewed case for the inclusion of Spain within broader European Renaissance movements. Its introduction, “A Renaissance for the ‘Spanish Renaissance’?” will be sure to incite polemic across a broad spectrum of academic fields. This interdisciplinary volume combines micro- with macro-history to offer a snapshot of the best new work being done in this area. With essays on politics and government, family and daily life, religion, nobles and court culture, birth and death, intellectual currents, ethnic groups, the plastic arts, literature, popular culture, law courts, women, literacy, libraries, civic ritual, illness, money, notions of commu...
The Man Who Broke Michelangelo’s Nose
Renaissance sculptor Pietro Torrigiano has long held a place in the public imagination as the man who broke Michelangelo’s nose. Indeed, he is known more for that story than for his impressive prowess as an artist. This engagingly written and deeply researched study by Felipe Pereda, a leading expert in the field, teases apart legend and history and reconstructs Torrigiano’s work as an artist. Torrigiano was, in fact, one of the most fascinating characters of the sixteenth century. After fighting in the Italian wars under Cesare Borgia, the Florentine artist traveled across four countries, working for such patrons as Margaret of Austria in the Netherlands and the Tudors in England. Torig...
Mass Killings and Violence in Spain, 1936-1952
Historians have only recently established the scale of the violence carried out by the supporters of General Franco during and after the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. An estimated 88,000 unidentified victims of Francoist violence remain to be exhumed from mass graves and given a dignified burial, and for decades, the history of these victims has also been buried. This volume brings together a range of Spanish and British specialists who offer an original and challenging overview of this violence. Contributors not only examine the mass killings and incarcerations, but also carefully consider how the repression carried out in the government zone during the Civil War - long misrepresented in Francoist accounts - seeped into everyday life. A final section explores ways of facing Spain’s recent violent past.
LA FIESTA Y SUS LENGUAJES
La presente publicación es una obra colectiva con veinte aportaciones elaboradas por especialistas procedentes de diversas disciplinas del campo de las Humanidades, que profundizan sobre el estudio de las fiestas y las celebraciones públicas desde el final del Medievo hasta la Edad Contemporánea. El nexo común de estos trabajos es la relación existente entre este fenómeno de lo festivo y los distintos lenguajes implicados en su preparación, desarrollo y difusión. Así, el lenguaje escrito, como tema literario o parte integrante del ornato de la fiesta, como literatura elogiosa, crítica social o analogía retórica, se une a la cultura visual, al paisaje sonoro y otros códigos no verbales para componer un conjunto de recursos que tienen en las manifestaciones festivas su propio valor, función y uso. La mayor parte de estos textos tienen su génesis en las diversas ponencias presentadas en el Seminario La Fiesta y sus lenguajes y que fue celebrado en la Universidad Pablo de Olavide en noviembre de 2018 bajo la dirección académica de los editores científicos de este libro.
Nuevas letras con antigua caligrafía. Mártires romanos en altares barrocos
Molti di questi martiri del cristianesimo primitivo verranno incorporati nel repertorio iconografico barocco, in gran parte su richiesta delle periferie, che avevano in loro i loro modelli di virtù. Si è già accennato all'importanza delle enclavi periferiche nel rifornire la Galleria della santità romana. E, nella “negoziazione” con la periferia, Roma ha fatto proprie numerose proposte locali.
