Title

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 painting by Sydney artist Grace Cossington Smith derives its title,<em>'Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question'</em>, from Matthew, Chapter xxii, verse 35. Although better known for her paintings of domestic interiors, this is one of two biblical works Cossington Smith painted for entry into the newly established Blake Prize for Religious Art in the early 1950s. Influenced generally by Renaissance artists such as Giotto, whose paintings she had seen in Italy, Cossington Smith used Masaccio’s '<em>Tribute Money'</em> (from the Carmine in Florence) in particular as a model for this painting (see Bruce James, <em>Grace Cossington Smith</em>, Roseville, Craftsman House, 1990, p.135). It featured alongside a number of Cossington Smith’s other works as part of an exhibition titled <em>Grace Cossington Smith: A Retrospective Exhibition</em> at the National Gallery of Australia in 2005.

Christ Church Illawarra is an isolated church built on a hill near the Tasmanian town of Longford. The small bluestone building was built in 1842 by Edward Dumaresq on his property in the Gothic Revival style. The tower and asp were designed in the Arts and Crafts style by architect Alexander North (1858-1945) and added in 1910. The church features lancet and rounded-arch windows and butresses. It is also a significant place for Australian art enthusiasts, with an altar painted by Arthur Boyd, and the grave of Tom Roberts in the nearby cemetery.

An account of the resource
<p>The small brick chapel with a shingle roof on Brickendon Estate, near Longford, is dated by its stained glass windows to the 1850s. It is in the centre of the farm village and was built for the religious observances of the farm workers and their families. It was built by William Archer (1788-1879) who had founded Brickendon in 1824. It possibly replaces an earlier chapel for convict labour. The chapel is consecrated and is still occasionally used for weddings. The chapel is in the Gothic Revival style and features a pointed arch entrance, buttresses, vaulted timber ceiling, porch, ornate timber details, and a bell tower topped by a spire. </p>

Description
An account of the resource
This statue of William Wallace, the Scottish warrior famous for leading the defeat of English forces at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297, stands in the Botanic Gardens in Ballarat, Victoria. Sculpted by Percival Ball of Melbourne and unveiled in 1889, the statue was funded by a £3000 bequest to the gardens by James Russell Thomson, a Scottish miner who made his fortune during the Victorian gold rush. It was intended as a tribute to Thomson’s Scottish origins. The front the statue bears an inscription from Robert Burns’ 1785 sentimental poem ‘The Cotter’s Saturday Night’, which also lauds Wallace as a noble patriot and hero.
