CFP: Venice and its Mainland Empire (at RSA 2027)
CFP: Venice and its Mainland Empire (at RSA 2027)
While the Venetian Republic was creating a stato da mar in the Mediterranean to ensure its economic security and military defense, it was also expanding its territories in the Terraferma — the Veneto and the Friuli — with its political authority framed as a mutually beneficial system of reciprocity and abundance. In 1483, the Venetian diarist Marin Sanudo described a fresco on the public loggia in the Veneto town of Rovereto that featured the lion of St Mark and an inscription: “I am the lion, of whom no one possesses a broader world empire; the land and sea obey me, and I administer justice: and beware to those men who do evil, my sword will avenge their crimes.”
In recent years Save Venice has expanded its conservation efforts into the Terraferma with such masterpieces as Titian’s Annunciation in Treviso and Donatello’s equestrian monument to Gattamelata in Padua. This session, sponsored by Save Venice, invites papers exploring the political, cultural and artistic reach of Venice in its Terraferma territories from the fourteenth through the seventeenth century. Possible topics include civic infrastructure, public monuments and paintings; portraits; commissions by Venetian officials; villa life, and male and female Terraferma artists in Venice and Venetian artists in the Terraferma.
Prospective speakers should send their full name, current affiliation, and email address, along with their paper title (15 words maximum), abstract (200 word maximum), and resume (2 pages maximum), PhD or other terminal degree completion year (past or expected) to Sarah Blake McHam (sarah.blake.mcham@gmail.com) and Patricia Fortini Brown (pbrown@Princeton.edu) by July 15. Applicants will be notified by July 31.
