Columbia University - Assistant Professor, Renaissance and Baroque Architecture <http://www.h-net.org/jobs/job_display.php?id=41470> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Collecting and Display Monday 18 October, 6pm Philippa Joseph (Oxford Brookes University) Travel, Acquisition, Display: Don Fadrique Enriquez de Ribera and the Casa de Pilatos, Seville, c.1518-1540 This paper is based on Philippa Joseph’s PhD thesis, submitted in May this year, and explores the personal possessions of a wealthy sixteenth-century Spanish nobleman, Don Fadrique Enríquez de Ribera (1476-1539), whose principal residence was the so-called, Casa de Pilatos, a beguilingly beautiful urban palace in the centre of Seville. Don Fadrique’s possessions included expensive tapestry sets, musical instruments, coins and medals, altarpieces, and holy relics, many of them acquired during his two-year trip to Italy and the Holy Land (1518-20). Studied together, they give us a clearer picture of Don Fadrique’s tastes, interests, and social position. In doing so, they also act as a prism through which to better understand the stylistic complexities of the Casa de Pilatos. By profession, Philippa Joseph is a publisher of academic journals in the humanities, but has long held a passion for Renaissance Europe, which she has explored through her MA and PhD studies, both undertaken part-time at Oxford Brookes University. Philippa has published a number of papers on aspects of academic publishing, as well as in the journal, Renaissance Studies. She is currently considering how best to publish her doctoral thesis Please note: this session takes place in room G35, Senate House (Ground floor, South block, Malet St, London ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is a conference dedicated to Agnolo Bronzino as Medici Court Artist in Context and organised in Florence to coincide with the current Bronzino show at the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi.
