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.

The Former Magistrate’s Court Building is a three-storey building of French Romanesque design that was constructed entirely from Australian materials. The strongly modelled entrance, thick, squat columns and solid masonry are characteristic of Norman Revival or neo-romanesque architecture, as are the tourelles, the tower and semi-circular windows and arches. The Former Magistrate’s Court building was designed by Department of Public Works architect George H B Austin and built by the Swanson Brothers. It replaced a two-storey brick building on the site that previously housed the Supreme Court and then the Court of Petty Sessions. Construction of the new building began in 1911 and was completed in 1914. The Court of Petty Sessions, later renamed the Melbourne Magistrate’s court, operated from the building from 1914 until 1995. It is now owned by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and is used for lectures.

It reveals a blend of contemporary customs and traditional workmanship, for modern re-enactments of jousting require utmost mobility with as little weight as possible. The horse, rather than being burdened by plate armour, is heavily padded and covered with an ornamental cloth trapper (or caparison) displaying the riders heraldry. The knight wears plates known as greaves to cover the legs, and rounded poleyns (c. 1350s) to protect the knees. The soft leather shoes are spurred, but not otherwise protected, which is unusual. However, this knight will not be required to dismount and fight on foot, so comfort probably took precedence over veracity in this instance.

Title A name given to the resource The ‘Caxton Window’ Subject The topic of the resource books, education, John Ashwin & Co., John Radecki, Margaret of Burgundy, Mitchell Reading Room, New South Wales, NSW, patronage, print, printing, printing press, Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye (1474), stained glass, State Library of NSW, Sydney, William Caxton (c.1422-1492), window Description An account of the resource An image of the ‘Caxton Window’ located in the Mitchell Reading Room at the State Library of New South Wales. This stained glass window was created in a neo-medieval figurative style by John Radecki of Ashwin and Co., Sydney in 1941. It shows Englishman William Caxton presenting a copy of the Recuyell of the Historyes of Troye (1474) to his patron Margaret of Burgundy. The Caxton theme is an effective means of commemorating a momentous achievement in the history of English literature, namely the ready dissemination of cultural values and the arts via the printed page. Caxton later set up a printing press in Westminster in 1476, initially using type that he brought over from Bruges. This didactic window is superbly executed, and the significance of books and learning is highly appropriate for a library reading room. Regrettably the window’s finer details are not easily discernible from ground level. The placement of this window in the Mitchell reading room, which houses the early Australiana collection, provides a bridge between the two continents (Europe and Australia).

Title A name given to the resource La Belle Dame sans merci, by Arthur Hughes Subject The topic of the resource Alain Chartier, apparition, armor, armour, Arthur Hughes (1832-1915), Arthurian, ballad, chivalric, chivalry, courtly love, damsel, dream, faery child, fair lady, false promise, infatuation, John Keats, knight, La Belle Dame sans merci, maiden, medieval costume, poem, supernatural, unrequited love, VIC, Victoria Description An account of the resource <p>This painting by English artist Arthur Hughes was acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria in 1919 with funds from the Felton Bequest. It portrays a scene from&nbsp;the well-known ballad of the same name penned in 1819 by Romantic poet John Keats. The poem is a tale of unrequited love featuring an Arthurian knight and a beautiful woman he meets in the woods. Described by Keats as a &lsquo;faery&rsquo;s child&rsquo;, the woman woos the knight with songs, food&nbsp;and promises of love, before taking him back to her elfin grot and lulling him to sleep. While asleep, however, he dreams of death-pale kings, princes and warriors crying &ldquo;La Belle Dame sans merci/Thee hath in thrall!&rdquo; before waking up alone on a cold hillside. In the painting, the infatuated knight is pictured in the woods shortly after he has met the beautiful woman and lifted her onto his horse. In the background, the apparitions of the pale figures he will later dream of are visible, trying to convey their warning in vain. Keats borrowed the title for his Arthurian ballad from a fifteenth-century courtly love poem by Alain Chartier.</p> <p>For a copy of Keats&rsquo; <em>La Belle Dame sans merci</em>, see <a href="http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/173740" target="_blank"> <span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/173740</span></a>.</p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hughes, Arthur Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived National Gallery of Victoria Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1863 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource National Gallery of Victoria Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Oil on Canvas, 153.7 x 123cm; Hyperlink Alain Chartier apparition Armor Armour Arthur Hughes (1832-1915) Arthurian Ballad chivalric chivalry Courtly Love damsel dream faery child fair lady false promise infatuation John Keats knight La Belle Dame sans merci maiden medieval costume poem supernatural unrequited love Vic Victoria https://ausmed.arts.uwa.edu.au/files/original/ec7731687f815723178eb3614a9f6a75.jpg 325c23bf59f5ae510328c96c100c3b32 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.

A number of medieval re-creation enthusiasts are engaged in close combat. They are armed with swords and what look to be mostly kite shields, and wear an assortment of different early medieval helmet styles. These include Norman style helmets with nasal bars and kettle hats. The Gathering is a biannual assembly of re-enactment societies from Australasia traditionally hosted by the New England Medieval Arts Society Inc (or NEMAS). At these gatherings, members aim to recreate medieval arts and craft such as woodworking, blacksmithing, tanning, spinning and weaving, as well as arms and armour construction. The photo gallery depicts scenes of daily life: market stalls, people sitting around campfires, even a King and his attendants, as well as recreated battles.
