ABSTRACT In the decades around the turn of the twentieth century, New York was seized by a passion for things French in interior decoration. The influx of French eighteenth-century decorative arts from London and Paris exerted a powerful influence over the imaginations of a new millionaire class, while the emergence of the professional dealer-decorator established channels for the incorporation of these materials into the luxury residence. While these interiors were developed in collaboration with leading US architects such as Richard Morris Hunt and George B. Post, they also posed a subtle challenge to the discourse of intellectualism developed on architects’ behalf. Governed by issues of taste and commerce as well as by artistic judgement, these French interiors presented a compelling vision of aristocratic stature that was at once in keeping, and in conflict, with the aspirations of an American Renaissance. This article considers the role of eighteenth-century French-style interiors in the articulation of a ‘civilised’ architectural tradition in the United States during the so-called Gilded Age. Focusing on the private mansion, it reconsiders the notion of the American Renaissance as a principally academic movement by calling attention to the ways in which it also responded to the requirements of the elite class as well as the commercial marketplace.

The present article examines the special characteristics of the development of small-scale sculpture as an independent phenomenon in Lviv fine arts of the second half of the 20th century within the framework of the interpretation of a human being image, since the following problem has not been sufficiently studied in Ukrainian art criticism. In particular, the research focuses on the specific features of artistic experiments of the representatives of decorative and applied art in the field of anthropomorphic sculpture; traces characteristic features of conceptual and modelling solutions; identifies artistic and stylistic features and peculiarities of the representation of a human being image. The author stresses upon the role of Lviv Ceramic and Sculpture Factory that largely set trends in the development of small-scale sculpture. In addition, as based on works of famous representatives of Lviv school of decorative arts, the author identifies the variety of interpretations and wide range of modelling means as well as traces the most vivid anthropomorphic designs.

Syphilis is the prime example of a “new disease” which triggered a transnational (European) discussion among physicians. It appeared between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Times (at the beginning of the sixteenth century), a time in which medicine was changing from a dogmatic to an experimental discipline. The main changes were in the field of anatomy: in 1543, the same year of the astronomy-disrupting work by Nicolas Copernicus, the new less dogmatic and more empirical approach to anatomy by Andreas Vesalius was published. Nevertheless, in the Renaissance, medicine remains a tradition-bound discipline, proud of its millennial history and its superiority over the empirical, non-academic healers. When syphilis appeared in Europe, several explanations were elaborated. In the mid-16th century, an Italian doctor Luigi Luigini (born in 1526) published in Venice a collection of all the works on syphilis that appeared until 1566. He wanted to entrust to colleagues, contemporary and future, a compendium of all that was known about the “new” disease (the Latin term Novus means both “new” and “strange”). According to the most authors of the collection, the disease is in fact “new” and “strange”. Some authors of the collection find it impossible that authorities like Hippocrates and Galen overlooked it. Luigini’s work shows the authors’ effort to absorb syphilis in the corpus of academic medicine and affirm the authority of academic physicians against the empirical healers.

The global production, use, and circulation of textiles were of great economic and cultural importance throughout the period 1400–1700, a span of time generally characterized as the Renaissance. In the period 1400–1700 the types and varieties of textiles proliferated and were frequently traded and gifted over large distances. For their users, textiles, in their multiple forms, were markers of distinction as well as functional everyday items. Traditionally, writing on textiles in the Renaissance has been influenced by two trends. First, the distinction of 19th-century scholars between “fine” and “decorative arts” tended to prioritize painting, sculpture, and architecture rather than textiles. Second, a divide between the art historical approach and the economic history approach has characterized the study of textile history. Since the turn of the 21st century, the range of approaches to the study of Renaissance textiles has widened considerably to attempt to bring together and, indeed, challenge and extend these approaches. In particular, a focus has emerged on examining the global role of textiles as objects in trade and diplomacy, recognizing their roles as objects that moved across boundaries and their role in shaping market economies and merchant strategies. In addition, important work has been undertaken on the ways textiles functioned as consumer items and on the ways they shaped spaces in homes and residences. Textiles have also been considered as performative actors that shaped emotions and actions.

Looking Glass

Purpose of the essay is to highlight the role of the decorative arts in nineteenth-century design culture using the “looking glass” of the great Milan exhibitions held in the decades between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From the National and Artistic Exhibition of 1881, through the United Expositions of 1894, to the Sempione International Exhibition of 1906, decorative and/or applied arts, in their variety of products, materials and techniques, have represented substantial parts of the events, often contributing to their cultural and economic success. The above three major exhibitions are therefore significant fields of study as regards the products characteristics and their critical appraisals, enabling to consider some significant aspects of their history: such as the relationship between tradition and innovation, theory and practice, stylistic changes and the evolution of taste, during a time span that can be considered seminal for the renewal of the decorative arts and the foreshadowing of modern design.

Abstract Anne Hull Grundy and her husband, John, were prolific antique collectors, remembered for their generous donations of fine and decorative arts to several major museums. Less well known is their collection of over 200 items broadly related to medical topics and donated to the University of Manchester Museum of Medicine and Health (mmh) between 1978 and 1983. The donation includes items of equipment in silver, a collection of commemorative medals and a set of framed prints, all linked to medicine and medical history. This paper describes the Hull Grundy collection and its place in the history of the museum. Short biographical sketches of Anne and John Hull Grundy and a brief history of the mmh, are followed by an account of the artefacts in the collection. The role of donors and donations in defining the nature of a ‘medical history museum’, and its potential use for social history and the medical humanities are also discussed.
