                <text>&lt;p&gt;This linocut print, &lt;em&gt;Mother and Child&lt;/em&gt; (1985), by artist G. W. Bot depicts a Madonna and child scene in which the frame is occupied almost exclusively by a Virgin Mary figure holding a child. Although held by a private collector, the piece was exhibited in a number of regional Australian art galleries between 2010 and 2013 as part of a touring exhibition of G. W. Bot&amp;rsquo;s work &amp;ndash; &lt;em&gt;The Long Paddock: A 30 Year Survey&lt;/em&gt; &amp;ndash; developed by the Goulburn Regional Art Gallery and curated by Peter Haynes. Bot&amp;rsquo;s inspiration for this work derives from the status of the Madonna and Child as a powerful Christian icon, especially in medieval religious art. During an interview conducted for the educational resource kit accompanying the exhibition, G. W Bot acknowledged this medieval influence: &amp;lsquo;I&amp;rsquo;ve also found inspiration in the medieval icon painters &amp;ndash; I&amp;rsquo;ve always been fascinated by the question of how to encode spirituality in the visual arts&amp;rsquo; (see: &lt;a href="http://www.grag.com.au/userfiles/file/GW%20BOT%20Education%20Kit.pdf" target="_self"&gt;http://www.grag.com.au/userfiles/file/GW%20BOT%20Education%20Kit.pdf&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>This work by William Adolphe Bouguereau was acquired by the Art Gallery of South Australia in 1899 with funds from the Elder Bequest. It depicts the Virgin Mary, clothed in a dark green dress with gold trim and seated against a backdrop of rich gold cloth, holding the infant Jesus on her lap. The childâ€™s arms are outstretched in a crucifixion pose. Although this painting dates from the nineteenth century (1888), it is strongly reminiscent of devotional religious art from the medieval period. The colours and composition are generally similar to those employed by medieval artists, while Maryâ€™s downcast gaze and the use of gold circles to represent halos recreate more specific motifs that were common in medieval representations of the Madonna and Child. </text>

                  <text>This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;A view of the chapel interior at St Ildephonsus&amp;rsquo; College in New Norcia.  St Ildephonsus was a seventh-century monk at the Benedictine monastery  of Agli near Toledo. From 657 until his death in 667, he served as the  Archbishop of Toledo. One of his works, De Virginitate Sanctae Mariae,  is a treatise defending the perpetual virginity of Mary. The painting  above the altarpiece in the New Norcia chapel depicts the hagiographical  legend in which Mary appeared before Ildephonsus and presented him with  a priestly vestment as a reward for honouring her.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;About New Norcia:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;New Norcia is a monastic town located 132 km north of Perth in Western  Australia. The town is owned and run by a community of Benedictine monks  and houses one of only three Benedictine monasteries (for men) in  Australia. At its height the monastery housed approximately 80 monks,  but currently there are only seven in residence. The Benedictines are  part of a religious order within the Catholic Church known as the Order  of St Benedict (OSB). Benedictines live in small, largely autonomous  communities and base their way of life on the Rule of St Benedict, which  prioritises a balance of prayer and work and calls for promises of  stability, obedience and a conversion of life. The first Benedictine  community was established in the sixth-century in Italy by St Benedict  of Nursia (c.480-547).&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Originally intended as a mission to evangelise and educate the  indigenous peoples of the Victoria Plains, the site at New Norcia was  founded in 1847 by two Spanish Benedictine missionaries, Dom Jos&amp;eacute; Benito  Serra and Dom Rosendo Salvado. Serra&amp;rsquo;s involvement in the missionary  activities at new Norcia decreased following his appointment as  Co-adjutor Bishop of Perth in 1849, while Salvado (1814-1900) committed  himself wholly to developing the mission and leading the monastic  community. He subsequently became the key figure in the first 50 years  of New Norcia&amp;rsquo;s history. He made numerous fundraising trips to Europe,  which provided him with the means to purchase books, vestments, artwork  and equipment for the community and also to oversee the construction of  new buildings. He died in Rome in 1900 and his body was returned to New  Norcia. Under Salvado&amp;rsquo;s successor, Bishop Fulgentius Torres (1861-1914),  New Norcia became more like a traditional monastic settlement. An  increased focus on education and artistic pursuits led to the  establishment of two schools and improvements to many of the town&amp;rsquo;s  buildings. St Ildephonsus opened in 1913 as a boarding school for boys.  It was staffed by Marist Brothers until 1965, when the Benedictines took  over. The school closed in 1991 and is now used primarily as a venue  for school camps.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                  <text>This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;A view of the chapel interior at St Ildephonsus&amp;rsquo; College in New Norcia.  St Ildephonsus was a seventh-century monk at the Benedictine monastery  of Agli near Toledo. From 657 until his death in 667, he served as the  Archbishop of Toledo. One of his works, De Virginitate Sanctae Mariae,  is a treatise defending the perpetual virginity of Mary. The painting  above the altarpiece in the New Norcia chapel depicts the hagiographical  legend in which Mary appeared before Ildephonsus and presented him with  a priestly vestment as a reward for honouring her.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;About New Norcia:&lt;br /&gt; New Norcia is a monastic town located 132 km north of Perth in Western  Australia. The town is owned and run by a community of Benedictine monks  and houses one of only three Benedictine monasteries (for men) in  Australia. At its height the monastery housed approximately 80 monks,  but currently there are only seven in residence. The Benedictines are  part of a religious order within the Catholic Church known as the Order  of St Benedict (OSB). Benedictines live in small, largely autonomous  communities and base their way of life on the Rule of St Benedict, which  prioritises a balance of prayer and work and calls for promises of  stability, obedience and a conversion of life. The first Benedictine  community was established in the sixth-century in Italy by St Benedict  of Nursia (c.480-547).&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Originally intended as a mission to evangelise and educate the  indigenous peoples of the Victoria Plains, the site at New Norcia was  founded in 1847 by two Spanish Benedictine missionaries, Dom Jos&amp;eacute; Benito  Serra and Dom Rosendo Salvado. Serra&amp;rsquo;s involvement in the missionary  activities at new Norcia decreased following his appointment as  Co-adjutor Bishop of Perth in 1849, while Salvado (1814-1900) committed  himself wholly to developing the mission and leading the monastic  community. He subsequently became the key figure in the first 50 years  of New Norcia&amp;rsquo;s history. He made numerous fundraising trips to Europe,  which provided him with the means to purchase books, vestments, artwork  and equipment for the community and also to oversee the construction of  new buildings. He died in Rome in 1900 and his body was returned to New  Norcia. Under Salvado&amp;rsquo;s successor, Bishop Fulgentius Torres (1861-1914),  New Norcia became more like a traditional monastic settlement. An  increased focus on education and artistic pursuits led to the  establishment of two schools and improvements to many of the town&amp;rsquo;s  buildings. St Ildephonsus opened in 1913 as a boarding school for boys.  It was staffed by Marist Brothers until 1965, when the Benedictines took  over. The school closed in 1991 and is now used primarily as a venue  for school camps.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
