1 8 1 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. 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.

Title A name given to the resource St Peter’s East Window, SCEGGS Great Hall, Darlinghurst, Sydney Subject The topic of the resource Canopy, Christ, Christianity, Darlinghurst, Empire, Ferguson & Urie, geometric patterning, Great Hall, medallion, medieval design, New South Wales, NSW, quarries, SGEGGS, school, school buildings, St Peter’s Church, Stained glass, Sydney, Sydney Girls Grammar School, window Description An account of the resource An image of the East Window in the Great Hall at Sydney Girls Grammar School (SGEGGS) in Darlinghurst, Sydney. The window was originally installed in St Peter’s church in 1867, but the church has since been incorporated into the School Hall. It is the only known Ferguson & Urie window in Sydney. Depictions of Christ and the disciples in lozenge and mandorla medallions stand out amidst a richly patterned geometrical background. This window employs several medieval design and glazing techniques, notably: 12th century lancets, the use of ‘diapered’ background quarries, extensive geometric patterning, and painted figures restricted to ‘mandorla’ and lozenge-shaped medallions. Note the comparatively larger, central figure of Christ standing under the imitation c. 14th century canopy. While not limited to a medieval primary colour scheme, the overall feeling and tone of this window is decidedly one of an adventurous medievalism. Such a window transmits the essence of the gospel message in visual narrative form, to the effect that the contents of each medallion can quite easily be ‘read’ by onlookers. The twin themes of Empire and Christianity merge seamlessly within the context of the window’s Neo-Gothic medievalism.
