Eleonora de’Medici – Gonzaga and Personal Devotion:
Towards New Layers of Meaning
in The Visit of the Queen of Sheba to Solomon
Speaker: Amy Cymbala
Wednesday, April 1st,2009 at 5:30 pm in 301 Williams Hall
Reception to follow
Amy Cymbala (UVM ’05) is a first-year Ph.D. student in the department of History of Art and Architecture at the University of Pittsburgh. Under the direction of Ann Sutherland Harris, Cymbala completed her Master’s Degree at the University of Pittsburgh in 2008, writing on the portraits of the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, Vittoria della Rovere. Focusing her dissertation studies on seventeenth-century Medici female patrons in Mantua, Parma, and Ferrara, Cymbala’s research re-examines the positions these women played in efforts by the Medici Grand Dukes to create familial ties and alliances with the Gonzaga, Este, and Farnese families, and emphasizes the central role Medici women played as vectors of cultural and artistic tastes outside of a Florentine ambit.

“Facing the Photographic Book: Helmar Lerski’s Everyday Heads,” presented by Pepper Stetler, Visiting Instructor at Miami University of Ohio. Dr. Stetler received her PhD at University of Delaware and is a specialist in the art of Weimar Republic. Her present work explores a particular creation of the Weimar artists, the photographic book which offered a radical response to the growing dominance of photography and film in modern life. She is particularly interested in the issues of perception and relationship between reading and seeing. Though she only finished her PhD in January 2009, she has already published on aspects of these photographic books and on the work of László Moholy-Nagy.
