Baroque art and style swept Europe and the world between 1580 and 1750, moving onlookers with its emotion, movement, and vitality. Fittingly, a lifetime of support from visionary philanthropist Alfred Bader, BSc카지노 게임 컬렉션45, BA카지노 게임 컬렉션46, MSc카지노 게임 컬렉션47, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션86, has elevated the celebrated style even further by championing Baroque art researchers to pursue specialized study at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트.
A passion for Rembrandt
카지노 게임 컬렉션It was the offer of my dream job,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Stephanie Dickey, Professor of Art History, reflecting on the moment in 2005 when she was asked to accept the Bader Chair in Northern Baroque Art at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. Professor Dickey was teaching a broad range of courses in art history at Indiana 카지노게임사이트 at the time and leapt at the chance to focus her teaching and research on a period of art for which she held a deep passion 카지노 게임 컬렉션 particularly the works of baroque icon, Rembrandt.
카지노 게임 컬렉션At any museum exhibition, people line up for Rembrandt,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션His work is relatable, expressive, and powerful, capable of representing the most idolized religious figures in the most human way. His depictions of emotion have managed to move viewers for centuries.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The late Dr. Bader카지노 게임 컬렉션s passion for Rembrandt and his contemporaries inspired him to work with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s to create the Bader Chair in Northern Baroque Art in 1991 to fund scholarly research and teaching. Over the years, he and his wife Isabel entrusted nearly 200 European paintings from their personal collection to the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s Agnes Etherington Art Centre, including three Rembrandt paintings. Dr. Bader카지노 게임 컬렉션s son, Daniel Bader, and his wife, Linda, later donated a fourth Rembrandt to the Agnes in his honour.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Alfred was a published art historian as well as a collector, and his enthusiasm and commitment to advancing our understanding of European art, especially the work of Rembrandt and his circle, have supported my work greatly,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Professor Dickey. 카지노 게임 컬렉션With Bader funding, I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve been able to convene five international conferences since 2009 that bring the field카지노 게임 컬렉션s leading experts to the Bader International Study Centre (BISC) at Herstmonceux Castle 카지노 게임 컬렉션 I like to think of them as Rembrandt incubators. Discussions that started there have led to groundbreaking publications, interdisciplinary research projects, and global exhibitions. It is especially gratifying to hold these events at the BISC, which was also a gift to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s from Alfred and Isabel Bader.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Professor Dickey카지노 게임 컬렉션s sixth conference is slated to take place at the BISC next year, and will reflect on discoveries stemming from exhibitions and events that happened worldwide in 2019 to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Rembrandt카지노 게임 컬렉션s death.
Baroque style around the world
Dr. Bader카지노 게임 컬렉션s interest in Baroque art knew few bounds. In 2002, he worked with Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s to create a complementary chair role to explore the impact of the style in Southern Europe and beyond.
Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Professor of Art History, Gauvin Alexander Bailey, came to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s eight years ago as the Bader Chair in Southern Baroque. He cites the role카지노 게임 컬렉션s support as providing him freedom to think outside the box and stretch his scholarship in new directions.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Although extremely helpful, major grants are, more often than not, project-specific,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Professor Bailey, whose study of Baroque art focuses primarily on Italy, South America, the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Bader funds, however, have allowed me to widen my scope to explore lesser-known or unexpected avenues as they arise.카지노 게임 컬렉션
With the assistance of Bader funds, Professor Bailey has published four new books and 29 scholarly articles on global Baroque art, formed fruitful international collaborations, and examined historic sites and artifacts as far away as Bolivia, Ghana, and Suriname. His current projects involve studies of Louis XIV카지노 게임 컬렉션s embassies to the King of Siam in the 1680s, a French Baroque palace in 18th century India, and the Saigon Opera House.
Enhancing education
Together, the Bader Chair appointments in the Department of Art History and Art Conservation are advancing our academic understanding of Baroque art and its influence across the globe. That said, both Professors Dickey and Bailey underscored another area of growth that benefitted significantly from Bader support 카지노 게임 컬렉션 the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s student learning experience.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Best of all, the Baders카지노 게임 컬렉션 generous support for my research translates into a better learning experience for my undergraduate and graduate students,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Professor Bailey. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I am able to include fresh research perspectives from archival and field work, and from my international colleagues, as well as up-to-date photographs in my lectures and seminars. Combined with the Bader Collection at the Agnes 카지노 게임 컬렉션 where I take my classes often 카지노 게임 컬렉션 students have expressed new levels of curiosity and inspiration.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Professor Dickey expressed similarly: 카지노 게임 컬렉션As I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve watched many of my former graduate students go on to become accomplished curators and researchers, I continue to gain appreciation for the educational opportunities provided by Bader philanthropy, not only here on campus, but also through fellowship funding that enables our PhD students to conduct original research in Europe and elsewhere around the world.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Those looking to experience Baroque artworks in person can pay a visit to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션s .
