For the exhibition Art + Politics, students worked closely with the holdings of Gettysburg College's Special Collections and College Archives to curate an exhibition in Schmucker Art Gallery that engages with issues of public policy, activism, war, propaganda, and other critical socio-political themes. Each of the students worked diligently to contextualize the objects historically, politically, and art-historically. The art and artifacts presented in this exhibition reveal how various political events and social issues have been interpreted through various visual and printed materials, including posters, pins, illustrations, song sheets, as well as a Chinese shoe for bound feet. The students' …

There are many approaches to modifying a glaze recipe, and different approaches can meet different needs. Some modifications change the colorant level while others change the colorant type altogether. Some may directly replace one material with another add a few weight unit more (or less) of one of the base ingredients in the recipe, or add an amount of an entirely new ingredient. These strategies we use to alter glazes tent to parallel how we cook and modify recipes in the kitchen, but adjustments to the base glaze using the kitchen method do not always give us the results we …

Nel quinto decennio del Cinquecento il duca Cosimo I de' Medici ha commissionato una serie di arazzi all'artista di corte Bachiacca. Analizzati da Lucia Tongiori Tomasi, i pesci rappresentati negli arazzi sono di notevole interesse per varieta, accuratezza e in quanto raffigurati quando gli studi ittiologici erano ancora agli esordi. Questi "frutti di mare" potevano suscitare interesse sia dal punto di vista artistico sia da quello scientifico ed essere usati come doni diplomatici e delizie offerte come simboli del potere. Questo studio interdisciplinare esplora, attraverso la documentazione dell'Archivio di Stato di Firenze e della Biblioteca Riccardiana, i diversi modi in …

This study, drawing on new information from unpublished documents, reconsiders the working methods and responsibilities of sculptor and architect Bartolomeo Ammannati in the context of Cosimo I de' Medici's creation of a grand ducal Tuscan empire. Ammannati was an indispensable part of the broader enterprise of ducal and grand ducal building activity, urban development, and court bureaucracy. His success was reliant on skills different than those emphasized by Giorgio Vasari. Instead of divinely inspired disegno or rampant terribilità, Ammannati showed his technical, organizational, and supervisory skills to move stones, build bridges, manage waterways, and keep track of expenses - the …
