SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA’S BERNARDINO CAMPI PAINTING SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA AND THE IDEAL CORTIGIANA
No full textItalian Renaissance artist Sofonisba Anguissola is well-known for the array of self-portraits she painted during her early career. Through her self-portraits created between 1548 and 1559, Anguissola constructed her identity as a virtuous young noblewoman and skilled artist. The key to Anguissola’s portraiture was her adaptation of the ideas prescribed by humanist Baldassar Castiglione in his famous text The Courtier in order to depict herself as the ideal female courtier. Anguissola’s self-fashioning reached its pinnacle with her 1559 self-portrait Bernardino Campi Painting Sofonisba Anguissola, which was among the last works Anguissola completed before she was invited to join the Spanish court of Philip II as a lady-in-waiting-cum-painter. This thesis examines the means by which Anguissola strategically shaped her identity for a court position in her 1559 portrait. I argue she utilized accepted principles for 16th century noble portraiture and costuming, the secondary figure of her former painting teacher, and courtly wit as described by Castiglione, to portray herself as the ideal noblewoman and to firmly secure her position as the first professional female “noble artist” at court.Art historycastiglione, double portraits, female artist, self-portraiture, Sofonisba Anguissola, the courtierArtDegree Awarded: M.A. Art.

MUSEUM STARTUP HUBS AND SOCIAL INNOVATION: HOW ENTREPRENEURIAL INCUBATORS, ACCELERATORS, AND COWORKING PROGRAMS IN MUSEUMS GENERATE VALUE
No full textAre programs based on startup hub models effective tools to drive social innovation in nonprofit museums? While museums have long been part of systems of innovation through learning labs, maker spaces, and artist-in-residency programs, a trend from the corporate and tech industries has emerged within the museum space. Museums are offering resources to individuals and startups to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and invest in innovation in the creative industries. There are a number of museums that have created programs based on business incubator, accelerator, and coworking models to help individuals and startups generate positive change within a community. This paper examines factors that contribute to museum innovation, as well as literature on incubators, accelerators, and coworking spaces, looks at examples of startup programs in museums, and presents in-depth case studies. This can provide museum professionals with a better understanding of how startup programming works, what resources are needed, and their benefits.Arts managementaccelerators, incubators, innovation, museums, nonprofit, startupsPerforming ArtsDegree Awarded: M.A. Performing Arts.
