These scholars work with new methodologies\, new areas o f study\, or innovative approaches to more traditional areas of Renaissa nce studies. The sessions provide new scholars a forum to present their ideas and methods and an opportunity to receive constructive feedback fr om senior scholars who will serve as respondents. *Note – IAS is spons oring two of the four sessions.\n\nSession I\n\nVincenzo Sorrentino\, Un iversity of Pisa\, “Seeking a Roman Identity: the del Riccio and Miche langelo.”\n\nStephen Mack\, Rutgers University\, “New Approaches to Non Finito. A Rough Aesthetic After Donatello and Before Michelangelo. \n\nElena Cera\, University of Padua\, “The Putti of the Thrones.

Visual imagery will be examined to establish the ways in which narrat ives of healing practices and healing saints were formed and became an i ntegral part of cultural traditions. Healing will be discussed in both i ts physical and metaphysical dimensions to highlight the ways in which r eligious and cultural values related to healing translated into shared v isual idioms that were sought after\, acquired\, adapted and effectively utilized to foster new religious cults and/ or healing practices. As im agery was actively used to forge devotional\, social and political netwo rks between different locales\, main centres and liminal communities\, w e will examine how the practice and representation of healing differed a nd influenced dominant cultural centres and the periphery.\n\nTheresa Fl anigan\, The College of Saint Rose\, “Art\, Compassion\, and Healing a t the Tomb of St. Francis in Assisi.”\n\nLouise Marshall\, University of Sydney\, “Topographies of Salvation: The City Model in Renaissance Plague Images.”\n\nAlessandra Foscati\, University of Lisbon\, “Heal ing Saints and Disease: Images and Texts.”\n\nLively Things: Material Culture in Early Modern Italy\n\nOrganizer and Chair: Kelly Whitford\, W heaton College\n\nThis panel offers studies of material and visual cultu re in early modern Italy\, c. 1300-1550\, that engage questions of enliv enment\, agency\, presence\, and materiality. In the early modern era\, works of art seemingly came to life\, paintings wept\, statues spoke\, r eliquaries healed\, and automata moved. In all these ways (and many othe rs)\, art\, ritual\, and cult objects acted as lively things. This panel seeks to examine the blurred lines between beholders and objects in ord er to broaden our understanding of the interactions between people and m aterial culture in early modern Italy. Scholars invested in this questio n have been powerfully influenced by David Freedberg and Hans Belting wh o examined pre-modern images and sculptures that defied the category of the object by seemingly appearing as present and alive. Bissera Pentchev a\, Elina Gertsman\, Nino Zchomelidse\, and Megan Holmes\, to name a few \, are shaping the field by taking up questions about the multi-sensory\ , performative\, and liminal characteristics of medieval and early moder n art and architecture. Additionally\, the categorical boundaries defini ng humans and objects continue to be erased\, questioned\, and redrawn b y scholars of actor network theory\, performance theory\, new materialis m\, and thing theory.\n\nAnna Majeski\, Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU\, Astrological Cosmologies and Embodied Viewing in Giusto de’Menabuoi s Baptistery frescoes.”\n\nNele De Raedt\, Ghent University\, “The Protective Power of Architectural Features: Beholders and Buildings in Fifteenth-Century Italy.”\n\nSteven F. H. Stowell\, Concordia Universi ty\, Montreal\, “Agency and Origins: Specialized Patronage of Miracle- Working Images in Renaissance Italy.”\n\nWomen and Gender in Italian T recento Art and Architecture\n\nThese sessions examine both the patronag e and the representation of \;women in 13th- and 14th-century Italia n art\, topics that remain under-explored despite the \;large body o f scholarship on women and gender in other cultures and periods. Papers go beyond the stereotypical gender identities \;and roles promoted b y the Church and theological writings\, to seek a complex \;understa nding of the models for and the lives of Trecento women.\n\nSession I\n\ nOrganizer and Chair: Judith Steinhoff\, University of Houston\n\nCordel ia Warr\, University of Manchester\, UK\, “Women re/act: Women and Ima ges in Trecento Art.”\n\nAngelica Federici\, Cambridge University\, Convents\, Clausura and Cloisters: Female Religious Patronage in Mediev al Lazio”\n\nJanis Elliott\, Texas Tech University\, “The Art of Roy al Propaganda: Recovering the Queen of Naples’ Reputation.”\n\nSessi on II: Gendering Images and Architectural Space\n\nOrganizer: Judith Ste inhoff\, University of Houston\; Chair: Anne Derbes\, Hood College\n\nJu dith Steinhoff\, University of Houston\, “Up Close and Personal: Gende ring Small Devotional Ensembles.”\n\nSarah Wilkins\, Pratt Institute\, “A Tale of Two Vita Panels: Mary Magdalen as a Gendered Model of Peni tence.”\n\nErik Gustafson\, George Mason University\, “In the Footst eps of Women: Gender Segregation or Inclusion in Mendicant Churches.” URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.italianartsociety.org/events/2020-66th-annual- meeting-renaissance-society-of-america-philadelphia-cancelled/ UID:urn:uuid:4005d3a0-60b4-4d0c-b56c-923c3a1cb7b7 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260814T102118Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200402 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200404 LOCATION:Philadelphia\, PA END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
