SUMMARY:2017 IAS/Kress Lecture in Italy\, Bologna
DESCRIPTION:The eighth annual IAS/Kress Italian Lecture series took plac
 e on 7 June 2017 and was delivered in Italian. Babette Bohn (Texas Chris
 tian University\, Fort Worth Texas) was the featured lecturer. \n\n\n\n
 Bologna produced more women artists than any other Italian city during t
 he early modern period. This presentation analyzes why Bologna was uniqu
 ely receptive to women and considers the characteristics that set Bologn
 ese women apart from their contemporaries elsewhere\, challenging some e
 xisting assumptions about how women became artists during this period. K
 ey factors include unusual artistic patronage\, local legends about lear
 ned women\, and the growing acceptance of female students who were not f
 amily members in male painters’ workshops. Beginning with Malvasia in 
 1678\, local writers created a new genre of literary encomia celebrating
  female artistic achievement\, an oxymoron in an age that defined artist
 ic invention as male. Bolognese male writers turned the accomplishments 
 of their female compatriots into cultural capital for promulgating Bolog
 na’s greatness. Bolognese women’s achievements included a shift from
  portraiture to history painting\, numerous public commissions\, and unu
 sual diversity\, including painters\, printmakers\, embroiderers\, and e
 ven sculptors. They are also distinctive for their engagement with drawi
 ng\, which linked all these female artists with the intellectual claims 
 of disegno\, fomenting a novel understanding of female creativity.\n\n\n
 \nThe lecture was held in the Aula Magna of the former monastery of Sant
 a Cristina that now houses the Department of the Arts –Alma Mater Stud
 iorum\, University of Bologna\, in Bologna\, Italy and was followed by a
  light reception.&nbsp\;
