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 Arthur Boyd was acquired by the Art Gallery of South Australia in 1969 with funds from the Morgan Thomas Bequest. It depicts St Francis of Assisi being beaten by his father, who is known to have objected to Francis’ religious inclinations and specifically to have reprimanded him for selling cloth from his shop to fund church repairs. St Francis (Giovanni Francesco do Bernadone) was born in Assisi around 1181. After an adolescence spent learning his father’s cloth business and aspiring to be a noble knight, he received his religious calling in his twenties when he was praying at San Damiano and heard Christ telling him to repair the church. Following a dispute with his father after selling cloth to raise money for the task, Francis returned every stitch of clothing his father had ever given him and renounced his patrimony. He turned to a life of poverty and religious work. He founded the Franciscan Order, a religious order devoted to poverty, work and preaching, which was authorised by Pope Innocent III in 1210 and quickly grew in popularity from a few followers to a large network of Franciscan preachers and missionaries (administered by Cardinal Ugolini, later Pope Gregory IX) and an enclosed order for women, The Poor Clares. In 1224 St Francis received the stigmata. He died in 1226, and was pronounced a saint only two years later by Pope Gregory IX.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This artwork by Yugoslavian-Australian artist Michael Galovic depicts St Francis of Assisi, the thirteenth-century religious reformer, preaching to birds in his characteristic brown habit. It is an example of the artist’s modern religious artwork in which he seeks to create new versions of traditional icons, often featuring medieval figures such as St Francis or Hildegard of Bingen (see <a href="http://www.michaelgalovic.com/galleryintro.html" target="_self">http://www.michaelgalovic.com/galleryintro.html</a>). St Francis (Giovanni Francesco do Bernadone) was born in Assisi around 1181 to a wealthy cloth merchant. Following a dispute with his father in his twenties, he returned every stitch of clothing his father had ever given him and turned to a life of poverty and religious work, particularly by helping to rebuild churches. He founded the Franciscan Order, a religious order devoted to poverty, work and preaching, which was authorised by Pope Innocent III in 1210 and quickly grew in popularity from a few followers to a large network of Franciscan preachers and missionaries (administered by Cardinal Ugolini, later Pope Gregory IX) and an enclosed order for women, The Poor Clares. In 1224 St Francis received the stigmata. He died in 1226 and only two years later he was pronounced a saint by Pope Gregory IX. Among many well-known stories about St Francis and animals is the scene depicted in this painting, which is described in <em>The Little Flowers of St Francis</em>:</p>
<p>So solace-filled he left them, and full well,<br />To penitence disposed, and, parting thence,<br />Betwixt Carmano and Bevagna came. <br />And, ardently as ever journeying on, <br />He raised his eyes and certain trees beheld <br />Fast by the way-side, on whose boughs were perched <br />A multitude of birds innumerable, <br />So that Saint Francis was amazed thereat, <br />And said to his companions: “In the road <br />Ye shall await me here, whole I go preach <br />Unto the birds my sisters”: and he went <br />Within the field, and to the birds ‘gan preach <br />That on the ground were sitting; and at once <br />Those that were on the trees did come to him,<br />And, one and all, stayed motionless until <br />Saint Francis had done preaching, and e’en then<br />Departed not till he had given them <br />His Benediction.</p>
<p>(James Rhoades, <em>The Little Flowers of St Francis: Rendered into English Verse</em>, London, 1904, pp.88-89).</p>

The building is in the Gothic revival style, and features gargoyles, pointed arched windows, stained glass, crenellation, towers, and tracery. Unusually, due to the ease of access from George Street, the Cathedral is now entered through the less grand east end and the interior has been reorientated accordingly. This photograph shows the new entrance.
