Call for Applicants: Juan Facundo Riaño Essay Prize (Deadline: 31st January 2023)

ARTES invite submissions for the Juan Facundo Riaño Essay Prize for the best art-historical essay on a Spanish theme. The deadline is 31st January 2023

To encourage emerging scholars that are based in the UK, ARTES, in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain, awards an annual essay medal to the author of the best art-historical essay or study on a Spanish theme, which must be submitted in competition and judged by a reading Sub-Committee. The medal is named after Juan Facundo Riaño (1829-1901), the distinguished art historian who was partly responsible for a growing interest in Spanish culture in late nineteenth-century Britain. The winner is also awarded a cash prize of £400, and the runner-up is awarded a certificate and prize of £100 – both prizes are generously sponsored by the Office for Cultural and Scientific Affairs of the Embassy of Spain. Prize-winners also receive a year’s free membership to ARTES, and the winning essays are considered for publication in the annual visual arts issue of Hispanic Research Journal. See the information about eligibility and rules of competition. The deadline is 31st January 2023.

Entering the Essay Competition

The judges will be looking for evidence of originality of thought and high academic quality. Submissions must focus on the production or reception of the art, architecture or visual culture of Spain. Alternative contributions in the form of photo or video essays will also be considered, provided that they demonstrate originality, high academic quality and high production standards.

As a permanent reminder of the winner’s achievement, an essay medal is awarded, together with a cash prize of £400. The winning essay will be considered for publication in the annual visual arts issue of Hispanic Research Journal. The runner-up receives a prize of £100, and an essay so commended may also be considered for publication in Hispanic Research Journal. Both prize-winners also receive a year’s free membership to ARTES.

Essays are submitted by 31 January each year, and are read by the Essay Medal Committee, appointed by ARTES. The decision of the Committee shall be final. Presentation of the medal is usually made at a special ceremony in London in Summer of the same year, and the result is announced on the ARTES website.

New Publication: Natural Light in Medieval Churches, edited by Vladimir Ivanovici and Alice Isabella Sullivan, published by Brill

Inside Christian churches, natural light has long been harnessed to underscore theological, symbolic, and ideological statements. In this volume, twenty-four international scholars with various specialties explore how the study of sunlight can reveal essential aspects of the design, decoration, and function of medieval sacred spaces.

Themes covered include the interaction between patrons, advisors, architects, and artists, as well as local negotiations among competing traditions that yielded new visual and spatial constructs for which natural light served as a defining and unifying factor. The study of natural light in medieval churches reveals cultural relations, knowledge transfer patterns, processes of translation and adaptation, as well as experiential aspects of sacred spaces in the Middle Ages.

Hybrid workshop: Realism in Hagiography, online / University of Cologne, 12-13 January 2023

Saints lives, martyrdoms, and miracle stories comprise a large and challenging body of primary source material for historians of the First Millennium and Middle Ages. Elements of these texts resemble historiography, but these are blended with subjective experience, mystical truth, and theology. Modern scholars interested in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and particularly scholars who do not come from cultural backgrounds where the veneration of saints is part of their personal lived experience, are faced with difficult questions. Can one confidently differentiate “fact” from “fiction” among the mundane and miraculous details in hagiography? Is it possible to read and interpret these texts as coherent works according to the shared understanding of their pious ancient or medieval writers and readers?

The workshop will bring together a group of pre-circulated papers which focus on the setting of hagiography (broadly defined), viewing its diverse literary components as part of a realistic structure and narrative. By focusing on the thread of realism within hagiographical texts, the papers given in this workshop will provide a collection of perspectives about how to read and interpret such narratives. These contributions will form a collection of conceptual tools which will be helpful for students and historians alike in analyzing hagiography-like sources.

With contributions from:

Stephanos Efthymiadis (Keynote)

CFP: Early Modern Material Culture of War and Emergency (London/Oxford, 19-20 April 2023), Deadline: 15 January 2023

The Material Culture of War and Emergency in the Early Modern World Conference and Graduate Student Workshop.

War was a pervasive part of early modern life. People experienced war as agents of conflict, impotent witnesses of its destructive forces, and as victims of its economic, social, and material consequences. Such events of conflict and emergency have been approached primarily through text, which has tended to focus historical narratives on the physical destruction wrought on the early modern world. But what if we were to see states of war and emergency also as periods of creation, in which new object types, new collections, new modes of commemorating, visualizing, and material thinking were produced? While material culture studies has been recognised elsewhere as an important window into the everyday, emotional and interior lives of historical actors, the absence of object-based studies of early modern war is a notable omission.

This two-part event seeks to bring together scholars from all fields whose research can re-evaluate the way we view the relationships between conflict and the object world in the early modern period and help explore how processes of destruction could establish new spaces in which material production and consumption might take root. As well as thinking about creation, the conference will consider how war reconfigured the trajectories of existing objects as their biographies became entangled with unfolding events. We are particularly interested in research that moves beyond the more traditional objects of crisis and warfare, such as arms and plunder, and expands the notion of what an object of war might be, looking particularly at the everyday artifacts whose meaning came to be shaped by events of conflict.

The overall purpose of discussion is to focus on how the material approach might bring new insight to the experience of early modern warfare: How were individuals’ experiences of conflict shaped by their material interactions? How did they navigate the extremes of warfare, both during and after conflict, through objects? In what ways did objects’ proximity to and intimacy with conflict determine the value placed upon them by contemporaries? How did encounters with destruction shape the afterlife of objects of war? In addition to this focus on martial conflict, consideration of states of emergency more generally—events of destruction by fire, flood, or other natural disaster, or confessional, political, and social upheaval—can also shed light on the broader discussion and we thus encourage their inclusion.

Papers might consider, but do not have to be limited to:
– Soldiers as artists and artisans
– The loss and migration of objects due to warfare and emergency
– The afterlives of objects associated with early modern war and other destructive events
– Ruins and rebuilding
– The material commemoration of conflict and catastrophe
– Preserving, collecting, and displaying objects of war and emergency

The event begins on 19 April with a Graduate Student Workshop at UCL’s Institute of Advanced Studies. It will be followed by a public lecture by Sigrun Haude (University of Cincinnati), author of Coping with Life during the Thirty Years’ War (2021). The workshop is designed for early-stage doctoral students across disciplines to share research and discuss methodologies relevant to material and visual culture, particularly within contexts of war and emergency. Very welcome are those students who wish to gain greater experience incorporating visual and material culture into their research. Participants will each give very brief (max. 7-minute) presentations, which will be followed by an extended period for feedback and discussion with established historians and art historians.

The full-day conference at Oxford will be held on 20 April. We invite proposals for twenty-minute research talks that respond to the stated prompts. Contributions from scholars coming from History, Art History, Archaeology, Literature, and related disciplines welcome.

Participation at both events is encouraged but not expected.

Proposals for papers should be sent to Róisín Watson (roisin.watson@history.ox.ac.uk) & Allison Stielau (a.stielau@ucl.ac.uk) by 5 pm on 15 January 2023. Applicants to the conference should include paper title and abstract (no more than 250 words). Applicants to the workshop should indicate their interest in the topic and how participating would aid their doctoral research and briefly summarize the presentation they would give (no more than 150 words). Accepted speakers will be informed by 1 February.

A small number of bursaries for graduate students and early career scholars will be available. Please indicate your need in your application.

Organized with the generous support of: UCL Institute of Advanced Studies, UCL History of Art Past Imperfect Seminar, University of Oxford Faculty of History, The John Fell Fund at the University of Oxford, The Centre for early modern studies at the University of Oxford.

New Publication: ‘Il Breviario-Messale Di Salerno Del Museo Leone Di Vercelli. Una Nuova Fonte Per La Storia Dell’Arte, Della Cultura E Della Liturgia’, edited by Maddalena Vaccaro and Gionata Brusa

The extraordinary discovery of a Breviary-Missal at the Leone Museum in Vercelli has brought to
light the oldest known evidence of Salerno’s liturgy, which dates back to the years of Archbishop
Romualdo II Guarna (1153-1181). The manuscript joins a group of codices kept at the “San
Matteo” Diocesan Museum in Salerno, and provides many hitherto unpublished codicological,
musicological, and art-historical details. From the pages of the manuscript emerges the role of the
Beneventan, Ambrosian, and Norman traditions in relation to the customs of the Church of Salerno,
as well as new questions on the multifaceted medieval cultural context, in which written, spoken
and sung words were associated with the images and liturgical installations of the cathedral.

For a better understanding of the different issues, specialists from various disciplines engage in a
constructive dialogue to investigate the peculiarities of the Breviary-Missal, explore its
complexities, and retrace the multiple routes that connected Salerno to Rome, the Mediterranean
basin, and the heart of medieval Europe.

The volume is published in the series ‘Studi e ricerche di Storia dell’Arte’ by Laveglia & Carlone,
and forms an addition to the collection of Salerno manuscripts published in the same venue by
Giuseppa Z. Zanichelli, I codici miniati del Museo Diocesano “San Matteo” di Salerno, with a
contribution by Maddalena Vaccaro, 2019.

Battipaglia (Sa), Laveglia & Carlone 2022 (Studi e ricerche di Storia dell’Arte, 4) 542 pp., 46 tavole a colori, € 60,00.
