From the ROME list:
*Raphael Collection Cataloguer*
**
*Fixed term contract (April 2011 to April 2013)*
*Based at Windsor Castle*
*c. £19,100 per annum, pro rata, plus benefits*
The Print Room is part of the Royal Library section of the Royal
Collection at Windsor Castle. It is responsible for the works of art on
paper in the Royal Collection, including old master drawings,
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century watercolours, and prints – over
150,000 items in all. Among this material is the Prince Consort’s
Raphael Collection, a unique assemblage of over 5,000 prints and
photographs begun by Prince Albert in 1853 and intended to record every
work by or after Raphael and his workshop.
Although the Raphael Collection was catalogued in 1876 it has never been
widely accessible, and the intention is now to record it on the Royal
Collection’s Collections Management System (CMS) and make it available
on the Royal Collection’s website. We are therefore seeking a cataloguer
on a fixed-term basis, who will be responsible for entering information
about each item to a uniform scholarly standard on the CMS.
The successful candidate will possess:
* Good general knowledge of the art of Renaissance Italy, ideally
with specialist knowledge of the works of Raphael, and a first
degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject
* Some familiarity with print techniques, and ideally with
nineteenth-century photographic processes
* Familiarity with art-collection databases, and good keyboard skills
* A high level of accuracy, and the ability to work with enthusiasm
and reliability on repetitive tasks
* Familiarity with major European languages
The closing date for applications is *13 February 2011*. Interviews will
take place at the Royal Library, Windsor Castle on 4 March, with a view
to the appointment commencing during the week of 11 April 2011.
