SUMMARY:Hammer Art History Lecture by Shawon Kinew\, "St. Paul Among the Snakes: A Maltese Artist Goes Home\, c. 1660"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: At the end of the 1650s\, Melchiorre Cafà\, a Maltese sculptor\, was newly established in Rome. Rome was the most significant site for sculptural production in Europe at that time. It was also a Golden Age of sculpture as artists vied for papal commissions and pushed the limits of their medium. They transformed hard stone into weightless apparitions. But\, in his early days in the Caput Mundi\, Cafà returned home conceptually. He carved in the humble material of wood the patron saint of his island\, St. Paul\, to be sent back to Malta. Today the sculpture is at the center of local devotional practices\, still carried in processions celebrating the Apostle’s shipwreck in Malta. Our time is connected to Paul’s and to Cafà’s in this living tradition. A study of Cafà’s St. Paul is one of Mediterranean cultural continuities\, and a meditation on the ethnographic gaze of the art historian. \nShawon Kinew is an art historian of early modern Southern Europe at Harvard University and specializes in seventeenth-century Rome’s art and theory. Her research on Roman Baroque sculpture focuses on the Maltese artist Melchiorre Cafà\, who is the subject of a book manuscript in preparation\, Baroque Softness: Melchiorre Cafà and the Sculpture of Mysticism. \nRegister to attend in Royce 314 \nMore information about past Hammer Art History Lectures can be found here.

SUMMARY:Hammer Art History Lecture by Suzanne Blier\, “Patterns of Anomaly in African Ivories”
DESCRIPTION:This lecture takes up questions in African Medieval to Early Modern ivory imagery and sources framed in part around a set of seemingly anomalous motifs that address how power and ivory have mutually shaped each other both in Africa (particularly Nigeria) and in European contexts. Among the works taken up are images of elephants in Nigerian Nok and Ife art\, the prominence of sirens on Benin and Owo Yoruba ivories\, the cultural primacy of ivory spoons\, the “missing” Durer saltcellar (now possibly found?)\, and the legacies of colonial era impact of pianos and ivory keys. \nSuzanne Blier (Allen W. Clowes Professor\, Harvard University) is a historian of African art and architecture in both the History of Art and Architecture and African and African American Studies Departments. She also is a member of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science and a Faculty Associate at the Harvard Mellon Urban Initiative. \n  \nMore information about past Hammer Art History Lectures can be found here. \nRegister to attend in Royce 314 \nRegister to attend via Zoom

SUMMARY:Hammer Art History Lecture by Nancy Um\, “Silver: Mutability and Materiality across Seventeenth-Century Networks of Trade and Plunder in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans”
DESCRIPTION:“Silver: Mutability and Materiality across Seventeenth-Century Networks of Trade and Plunder in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans” \nNancy Um (Associate Director\, Research and Knowledge Creation\, Getty Research Institute) \nThis talk delves into the circulation of silver in the late seventeenth century\, a time when the silver streams of Potosi fueled the global maritime trade. It explores farflung oceanic networks of value\, by tracing material connections between distant yet intertwined monetary systems on the Arabian Peninsula and colonial North America and by highlighting dispersed legacies of metalwork and numismatics. \nRegister to attend in person in Royce 314. \nRegister to attend online with Zoom.. \nFeatured image:  Detail\, Tankard\, Gerrit Onckelbag American\, 1700–1710\nhttps://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/8213
