Medievalism at the Foundations
Description
An account of the resource
This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’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.

Description
An account of the resource
This work by French sculptor Albert Bartholomé was acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria with funds from the Felton Bequest in 1922. It is a bronze sculpture depicting the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise. It has been dated to 1905, although the work from which it was cast was probably finished by 1899. The figures of Adam and Eve are believed to be modelled on Masaccio’s fresco, Expulsion from Paradise, (c.1426-1428) in the Brancacci Chapel, Florence (See Ted Gott et al, 19th Century Painting and Sculpture in the International Collections of the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, National Gallery of Victoria, 2003, p.112).

An account of the resource
<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">This work by French sculptor </span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Émile-Antoine Bourdelle was gifted to the Art Gallery of South Australia by William Bowmore AO OBE, through the Art Gallery of South Australia Foundation in 1994. It is a 2.5m tall bronze sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus aloft. Along with similar sculptures held by the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo and the National Galleries of Scotland (titled La Vierge d’Alsace), this work appears to be a model for Bourdelle’s much larger 6m tall stone carving of the subject, which was completed in 1922 and is situated on a hill in Niederbruck, Alsace, France. Bourdelle studied sculpture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris after training as a wood-carver with his father, and entered Rodin’s studio as a practitioner in 1893. He incorporated both subjects and techniques from Ancient Greek and medieval sculpture into his work. In ‘Virgin and the Offering’, his admiration of gothic and medieval religious art is evident in his choice of subject, while his use of simplified forms is reminiscent of earlier Romanesque sculpture. On the Gothic and Romanesque influences of Bourdelle’s work, see the catalogue description of NG Scotland’s La Vierge d’Alsace at: <a href="http://www.nationalgalleries.org/object/GMA%202" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.nationalgalleries.org/object/GMA 2</span></a>.</span>

An account of the resource
<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">This piece from the Art Gallery of New South Wales collection is one of 12 bronze sculptures cast from a plaster sculpture created by Rodin in 1885. The original ‘Second Maquette for the Burghers of Calais’ from which it was cast is currently housed in the Musée Rodin in Paris. The sculpture features six separate figures ranging in size from 60.5cm to 70 cm. Rodin was commissioned in 1884 to produce a monument commemorating the bravery of six Calais burghers who were prepared to sacrifice themselves to save the city’s other citizens when Calais fell to the English King, Edward III, during the Hundred Years’ War in 1347. The figures are Pierre de Weissant, Jean d’Aire, Eustache de Saint-Pierre, Jacques de Weissant, Andrieu d’Andres and Jean de Fiennes. His first maquette features all of the figures on a shared base, whereas the second consists of six separate figures.

Description
An account of the resource
Image of the St George and the Dragon bronze statue at the entrance to the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne. The statue is the work of Viennese-born sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm. It was purchased by the State Library of Victoria for the sum of £1000 following the Centennial International Exhibition in 1888, and was installed at the entrance to the library in 1889. With the exception of some repositioning to accommodate Frémiet’s Jeanne d’Arc statue in 1907, this is where it still stands. The Boehm statue depicts St George, sitting astride his horse wearing a cape and a helmet bearing the distinctive St George cross, in the action of inflicting the dragon’s deathblow by means of a large spear. The legend of St George slaying the dragon is Eastern in origin. It is thought to have been brought back to England by crusaders and was popularised and incorporated into hagiographies of St George in the medieval period in works such as Vincent of Beauvais’ Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine’s Golden Legend (c.1260). As with most early Australian images of St George and the Dragon, the statue features the knight and dragon fused in combat, and there is no sign of the maiden who was being saved in the original tale.
For more on the St George legend in Australia, see Andrew Lynch, “‘Thingless names’? The St George Legend in Australiaâ€, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.40-52: http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html.

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">About Joan of Arc:</span><br /> Joan of Arc was born in 1412 in the French village of Domrémy. From the age of about 12, Joan had visions of saints and heard heavenly voices that increasingly urged her to fight for France during the Hundred Years’ War. She travelled to the court of Charles De Ponthieu, the Orléanist claimant to the throne, where she was provided with a suit of armour and her distinctive banner depicting a golden fleur-de-lys. She secured a decisive military victory to rescue the city of Orléans from the Earl of Salisbury’s English army in 1429, and was present at the coronation of Charles VII. However, in May the following year Joan was captured by Burgundian forces at Compiègne, and was handed over to the English. She was tried at Rouen on charges of witchcraft and heresy, and was condemned to death. On 30 May 1431, she was executed. Two and a half decades later, the case was appealed and her conviction was overturned. She was beatified in 1909 and canonised as a saint in 1920.</p>

Title
A name given to the resource
Medievalism at the Foundations
Description
An account of the resource
This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’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.

Description
An account of the resource
Images of the St George and the Dragon bronze statue at the entrance to the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne. The statue is the work of Viennese-born sculptor Joseph Edgar Boehm. It was purchased by the State Library of Victoria for the sum of £1000 following the Centennial International Exhibition in 1888, and was installed at the entrance to the library in 1889. With the exception of some repositioning to accommodate Frémiet’s Jeanne d’Arc statue in 1907, this is where it still stands. The Boehm statue depicts St George, sitting astride his horse wearing a cape and a helmet bearing the distinctive St George cross, in the action of inflicting the dragon’s deathblow by means of a large spear. The legend of St George slaying the dragon is Eastern in origin. It is thought to have been brought back to England by crusaders and was popularised and incorporated into hagiographies of St George in the medieval period in works such as Vincent of Beauvais’ Speculum Historiale and Jacobus de Voragine’s Golden Legend (c.1260). As with most early Australian images of St George and the Dragon, the statue features the knight and dragon fused in combat, and there is no sign of the maiden who was being saved in the original tale. For more on the St George legend in Australia, see Andrew Lynch, “‘Thingless names’? The St George Legend in Australia”, The La Trobe Journal, vol.81, Autumn 2008, pp.40-52: http://www3.slv.vic.gov.au/latrobejournal/issue/latrobe-81/t1-g-t4.html).
