Sebald Beham: Entrepreneur, Printmaker, Painter, Alison Stewart

School of Art, Art History, and Design: Faculty Publications and Creative Activity

The prints of Sebald Beham and his brother Barthel were the subject of a recent exhibition titled Gottlosen Maler at the Albrecht-Dűrer-Haus in Nuremberg (March 3–July 3, 2011), where this essay was included in the exhibition catalogue in German. Revised and expanded for publication in this journal in English, the essay addresses Beham’s biography and historiography and argues that Beham should be viewed as a highly creative and productive entrepreneur and as one of the first “painters” (to use terminology of the time) to specialize in prints. Between 1520 and 1550, he produced a prodigious number of prints.

Feasting And Drinking: Proverbs In Early Sixteenth-Century Woodcut Illustrations, Alison G. Stewart

School of Art, Art History, and Design: Faculty Publications and Creative Activity

Der Artikel behandelt zwei Sprichwörter, die in der Nürnberger Druckgraphik zwischen den Jahren 1524 und 1535 veröffentlicht wurden. Die im Zentrum stehenden Drucke wurden von Hans Sebald Beham angefertigt, einem Schüler Dürers, der auch als ,gottloser Maler' bekannt war. Sowohl die Bedeutung der Wendungen durcheinander wie Kraut und Rüben und die trunken Metten werden anhand dieser Drucke erforscht, als auch die Quellen, die zur Identifikation vornehmlich des zweiten, heute nicht mehr gebräuchlichen Sprichwortes dienen. Weiterhin werden die weit verbreiteten Darstellungen von Trinkgelagen näher untersucht. Wichtige Quellen, die zur Identifikation dieser Sprichwörter führen, sind Titelblätter und Textillustrationen von gedruckten Flugblättern und …

Russian Art In The Second Half Of The Twentieth Century, Ekaterina Dyogot

Russian Culture

This essay concerns Russian art in the second half of the twentieth century, yet any such description requires constant reference to the Russian avant-garde and the Soviet art system. The country's isolation made Soviet art such a specific, aesthetic, and particularly institutional phenomenon that it becomes critical to any understanding of art in the post-Stalinist period.

From Playground To Fetish: The Identity Of (The) Mary Jane, Georgina Ruff

Mid-America College Art Association Conference 2012 Digital Publications

Cartoon characters Buster Brown and his sister Mary Jane both wore Mary Jane shoes in 1905. The style was practical for active children – easy to don and securely fastened to busy feet. Yet by the turn of the 21^st century, Mary Jane styles have been adopted by the high fashion industry and fetish culture in forms that are considerably less practical for certain forms of activity. This research traces the transition of the Mary Jane through the twentieth century, from the feet of children to the pages of Vogue and ultimately the couch of Freud. Along the way, …

Chronology, Uncertainty And Gis: A Methodology For Characterising And Understanding Landscapes Of The Ancient Near East, Dan Lawrence, Jennie Bradbury, Robert Dunford

Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology Faculty Research and Scholarship

Modern archaeological research is confronted with a legacy of projects which stretch back to the early 20th century. Alongside this, massive amounts of disparate data are being generated by on-going excavation and survey. Scholars are also beginning to use satellite imagery to interpret and re-interpret archaeological data-sets both old and new. In the Near East this disparity is compounded by the diversity of dating schemes and inter- pretative frameworks used by archaeologists studying the region. Faced with these issues, how is it possible to combine such data into a coherent and comprehensive format, adding value to both old and on-going …

Romanità A Roma: Le Basiliche Del Xii Secolo Fra Tradizioni E Innovazioni, Dale Kinney

History of Art Faculty Research and Scholarship

The “Romanness” (romanitas) of the cathedral portico in Civita Castellana is obvious, but within Rome the criteria of “Romanness” are not so clear. This article takes the architecture of twelfth-century churches as a case in point. Scholars generally agree that romanitas is retrospective and evocative of local tradition, but many of the signature features of these churches – bell towers, marble cloisters, Ionic trabeated porches, marble altar ciboria, paschal candlestands, the “schola cantorum” – were eleventh- or twelfth-century innovations, some- times imported from elsewhere. It is proposed that these features were “invented traditions” as defined by Eric Hobsbawm, which create …

'My Tomb Will Be Opened In Eight Hundred Years’: A New Way Of Seeing The Afterlife In Six Dynasties China, Jie Shi

History of Art Faculty Research and Scholarship

Jie Shi analyzes the sixth-century epitaph of Prince Shedi Huiluo as both a funerary text and a burial object in order to show that the means of achieving posthumous immortality radically changed during the Six Dynasties. Whereas the Han-dynasty vision of an immortal afterlife counted mainly on the imperishability of the tomb itself, Shedi’s epitaph predicted that the tomb housing it would eventually be ruined. This new, pessimistic vision of tombs was shaped by the experience people had in the Six Dynasties of encountering numerous ruined tombs in their daily life. To secure an afterlife for the deceased, they adopted …

A Walk Through The Past: Toward The Study Of Archaeological Museums In Italy, Greece, And Israel, Andrea Guzzetti

Bryn Mawr College Dissertations and Theses

Archaeological museums and museum displays help to broadcast ideological statements, particularly concerning the formation of national identities, yet the ways in which the messages being transmitted have been articulated within the actual spaces devoted to the display of artifacts are still far from being thoroughly studied. More specifically, little attention has been dedicated to some of the most immediate means through which a museum interprets the past for the modern-day visitor, such as its plan, the arrangement of its collections in the galleries, and its visiting paths.

The dissertation examines the physical features a group of archaeological museums in Italy, …

On The Surface Of A Thessalian City: The Urban Survey Of Kastro Kallithea, Greece, Laura E. Surtees

Bryn Mawr College Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation examines the establishment, occupation, and abandonment of Kastro Kallithea, a Hellenistic city in Achaia Phthiotis, Thessaly, through data collected from the intensive urban survey of the site. Kastro Kallithea is an orthogonal grid planned city with distinct zones of activities enclosed within a massive circuit wall running 2 km in length. The ancient name of the site is unknown, although it has been tentatively identified by Friedrich Stählin as the ancient polis of Peuma, known from coins and inscriptions. The site was founded in the late fourth century and was occupied into first century B.C.E. There is no …

Household Shrines And Cults In Roman Achaia: A New Approach To Examining Cultural Change Under The Roman Empire, Catherine W. Person

Bryn Mawr College Dissertations and Theses

This study explores the changing nature of household cult practices, a currently under-studied category of evidence, in the Roman province of Achaia, from the first century BCE to the fourth century CE, with reference to pre-Roman domestic religion. The primary aim of this investigation is to understand to what extent Roman cult practices were integrated in select households across Roman Achaia. Household religion is an ideal indicator for cultural change and shifting cultural identities; it was essential in both Greek and Roman cultures and vital to the survival of the family unit and the wider community, but was conducted differently …
