The Art of Renaissance Warfare Online talk sponsored by the Newberry Library

The Art of Renaissance Warfare
Jonathan Tavares, The Art Institute of Chicago
Suzanne Karr Schmidt, Newberry Library

Thursday, September 17, 2020
12-1 pm CDT

 

CRS is pleased to announce a public conversation exploring how the development of gunpowder, stirrups, and new techniques for polishing armor changed the face of war in sixteenth-century Europe. In this virtual conversation, Jonathan Tavares of the Art Institute of Chicago and Suzanne Karr Schmidt of the Newberry will discuss the importance of Renaissance-era innovations in military technology by focusing on a model cannon, pair of stirrups, and collection of armor on view in the Renaissance Invention exhibition as loans from the Art Institute. This conversation relates to the new gallery exhibition "Renaissance Invention: Stradanus's Nova Reperta," now open at the Newberry.

This virtual program is free and open to all, but registration in advance is required. For more information, including a link to register, please visit the event calendar page here: https://www.newberry.org/09172020-art-renaissance-warfare

MEMS COLLOQUIUM LECTURE

Because the English were ultimately responsible for executing Joan of Arc, the usual view of their changing judgments of her is a progressive one—from witch to heroine to saint. However, their opinions prove to be much more varied and nuanced, encompassing praise, blame, and uneasiness all within 200 years of her death. This talk discusses some of these complex reactions from English historians, playwrights, and biographers through the Early Modern era.

A reception will follow the lecture.

Gail Orgelfinger, Senior Lecturer of English at UMBC, Emerita, is the author of Joan of Arc in the English Imagination, 1429–1829 (Penn State University Press, 2019).

Monica Green, Professor of History at Arizona State University, specializes in medieval European medical history and the global history of infectious diseases.  In her talk she will show how our understanding of the Black Death, the plague pandemic that ravaged Europe, the Middle East, and north Africa between 1346 and 1353, has been transformed in the last decades because of new developments in genetics. Historians and archaeologists are now learning to incorporate the findings from genetics into new narratives, ones that show that this largest of pandemics was even larger, and more widespread, than we ever imagined before. Our story must now include not only the Mediterranean and Europe, but also China and perhaps even much of sub-Saharan Africa.
