Straightening the Arno: Artistic Representations of Water Management in Medici Ducal and Grand Ducal Florence
No full textEarly modern Florence could boast of its art and architectural beauty, but when it came to water, it could resemble a hazard zone marked by dangerously high floodwaters. It was for good reason that Cosimo I de’ Medici and his heirs Grand Dukes Francesco I and Ferdinando I attended to water regulation, efforts celebrated by their court artists and humanists. In the visual arts, how to portray such feats had no clear iconographic traditions. The work of water management, be it repairing embankments or digging ditches, did not lend itself to the idealised, Michelangelesque style favoured by the Florentines. This study will explore the strategies artists took in representing Ducal and Grand Ducal authority over waterways, examining paintings, bronze medals and gilt reliefs celebrating the accomplishments of Cosimo I and his heirs. Among these are portrayals of the Medici with documents like maps, plans or reports, echoing material used by water management officials. Artists drew on the classical past to develop new idealised figures and symbols, featuring them in lofty, princely settings. Their prominence marked the legacies of water control that Medici Dukes and Grand Dukes promoted for themselves and their dynastic line

Is There Any Possibility That They Might Have Remained Alive? : The George Barlaz Papers and the Search for Family After the Holocaust
Get PDFThe paper explores the topic of American Jews searching for their families after the Holocaust. The paper uses the George Barlaz Papers, to argue that after the Holocaust Jews used Jewish organizations to search for family. Charity organizations like HIAS, Jewish newspapers like The Forward and various Landsmanshaftn were all used by George Barlaz to look for his family. From the search for family, new relationships were formed between searchers and those who were helping them find their family. George Barlaz developed a strong friendship with Moses Feinblüt who helped him search for his family and connect him with the sole survivor, his sister-in-law Roza Braun. Though Barlaz and Braun had a strained relationship at time, they genuinely cared for each other and Barlaz sought to help Braun in any way that he could. The papers make clear the guilt felt by Barlaz for his failure to protect his family from the Holocaust by bringing them to America. Barlaz felt a mixture of hope, dread, and dejection in the search for his family
