The Summer Mentorship affords the opportunity fo r students to work closely with a Center/Clark Core Faculty member to deve lop their paper for presentation at an academic conference or for potentia l publication.\n\nThe Early Modern Research Group\, which meets under the auspices of the UCLA Center for 17th- &\; 18th-Century Studies and the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library\, invites you to attend this work-i n-progress session featuring presentations by two Summer Mentorship awarde es\, both of whom are graduate students in the UCLA Art History Department and mentored by Bronwen Wilson\, Professor of Renaissance and Early Moder n Art. Following each presentation\, the speakers welcome feedback from at tendees during a collaborative discussion.\n\nLaura Hutchingame will prese nt “Virgen de los Ángeles: A Temporal Stratigraphy.” This Summer Ment orship research project considers several questions about the Virgen de lo s Ángeles\, the only sixteenth-century figural sculpture in the retablo a t the Convento de Santa Clara in Villafrechós\, Spain. Why was this sixte enth-century sculpture preserved\, updated\, and incorporated into an eigh teenth-century decorative program? Is there particular significance to thi s Marian sculpture\, in relation to Sts. Clare and Teresa in the retablo\, at a convent with a history of female patronage? How might the layers of wood\, plaster\, and paint participate in the sculpture’s accretion of m eaning over two centuries? The author’s hypothesis is that an investigat ion into these questions will show that the Virgen de los Ángeles can be most comprehensively understood when it is considered in relation to probl ems of art historical chronologies.\n\nLeah Marangos will present “From Istanbul to Bologna: Mapping Armenia in the Tabula Chorographica Armenica (1691).” In 1691\, the Bolognese count\, Luigi Ferdinando Marsili\, comm issioned the so-called Tabula Chorographica Armenica from the Armenian his torian and one-time printmaker\, Yeremia Chelebi K'eomiurjian. Oriented ve rtically and measuring approximately four-feet wide and twelve-feet long\, the monumental map represents lands once inhabited by Armenians from the Caspian to the Mediterranean Seas. Although the map encompasses lands cont rolled by the Ottoman Turks and the Safavid Persians in the late seventeen th century\, it only presents sites associated with Armenians and thus pre sents a fantastical world inhabited solely by them. In comparison to other early modern maps\, this one is unique because of its content\, the mater ials used to make it\, and its vertical orientation. It is also the second oldest known map written in Armenian. The author proposes to consider thi s map in the context of early modern collecting and map making. Moving bey ond the biography of the artist and the commissioner\, the paper will ques tion how cultural contact and movement in the early modern period could pr oduce such an object.\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Cosponsored Event,Lectures,Special Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20201101T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
