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 <p>This Australian Mutual Provident Society building is in the centre of the Tasmanian city of Launceston. It was designed by local architects Lesley Gordon Corrie (1859-1918) and Alexander North (1858-1945) and built by J. and T. Gunn. It opened in 1892. An anonymous&nbsp;report in the Launceston Examiner newspaper (November 19, 1892) gives the particulars of the building, which is described as being in the Florentine Romanesque style. Romanesque features of the stone building include the semi-circular window arches with molding and decorated columns on the upper floor, the semi-circular arch above the company monogram, the use of foliage motifs, and the frieze above the entrance.</p> <p>Florence has a number of extant Romanesque buildings built between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries.

Title A name given to the resource ‘The Seasons window,’ Mandeville Hall, Toorak Subject The topic of the resource autumn, country, cupid, David Relph Drape, Diana, Ferguson & Urie, foliage, frieze, harvest, Joseph Clarke, landscape, nature, nostalgia, Romanesque, Saint George, seasons, spring, St George, stained glass, stairwell, summer, Toorak, VIC, Victoria, window, winter Description An account of the resource This staircase ‘Seasons’ window at Mandeville Hall in Toorak was designed by David Relph Drape and created by Ferguson & Urie for the original owner, millionaire Joseph Clarke, in 1877. The circular medallions in the centre of the window depict scenes of the four different seasons, beginning with winter. The idyllic country scenes that fill the main medallions are of typically English views, and doubtless served, as Beverley Sherry suggests, as “persuasive [and ‘nostalgic’] reminders of ‘home’” (Australia’s Historic Stained Glass, Sydney, Murray Child, 1991, p.39). The figures to the left and right of the medallions also represent the four seasons, and feature banners identifying which season they represent. Clarke’s initials appear on the central lower border flanked by curved floral motifs that were probably adapted from classical Roman frieze work. There is also a star-studded cross of St George at each of the corners. In this way, classical Rome, medievalism, and British imperialism appear as natural offshoots of the other. This decorative and largely opaque window is intricately patterned with entwined foliage, and dominated by figural seasonal vignettes. It is crowned by a semi-circular top light (another concession to the architectural ‘Romanesque’ or Norman style) containing a reclining Diana, and Cupid holding a bow.

Ross Anderson, Joseph Johnston (1814-1892), Maltese cross, memorial plate, organ, quatrefoil, tracery, window Description An account of the resource This article describes the colourful redecoration of the interior of the Johnston Memorial Church in Fremantle in 1897. The predominant colours are listed as green, salmon, citron, terracotta, Persian red and cream. Among the features described in more detail are a frieze under the ceiling line ‘with a foliated design introducing quartrefoils and Maltese crosses’, a deep red dado with a medieval acanthus scroll painted in cream, and gold dog roses against a cardinal red background interspersed at regular intervals. The terracotta and cream design painted onto the green balcony is described as ‘Gothic’, and behind the rostrum ‘is a Gothic canopy in deeper tones of colour, with a gold diapered pattern in deep blue, forming a background to the preacher’. The decorations were designed and carried out by J. Ross Anderson, who was also noted for his decoration of the Wesley Church in Perth. The Johnston Memorial Church was completed in 1877 and was originally named the Congregational Church. It was later renamed in honour of long-serving congregational minister, Joseph Johnston (1814-1892). Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anon.
