professor in the Department of Art History, H. Fletcher Brown Chair of
Humanities, fellow of the Medieval Academy of America and fellow of the
Society of Antiquaries, has just published his two-volume, 15-pound, 30
years in the making work, <em>Frankish Manuscripts: The Seventh to the Tenth Century.</em> He
crisscrossed all of Europe to examine firsthand many of these
manuscripts, which were made before there even was a kingdom of France.
The subject of these medieval manuscripts, many exhibited with photos of
the gilded, richly decorated and exceptionally beautiful script, ranges
from ancient and contemporary poems to scientific works, commentaries
and a cookbook. Together, these two volumes are the most comprehensive
survey of manuscript illumination of the regions that would one day
become France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Low Countries.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=228 | |

professor and director of graduate studies in the Department of Art
History, was the keynote lecturer for the eighth annual Asgo Symposium:
“Matters of Art: Materiality, Functionality and the Agency of Art
Objects,” at the Ackland Museum of Art in the University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill, Sept. 16-17, 2022. Domínguez presented her paper
“Precious Critters: Pearls, Natural History and Artistic Practice
in the Early Modern Spanish World,” which stems from the second chapter
of her upcoming book <em>Pearls for the Crown</em>, under contract with
Penn State University Press. Focusing on a Spanish pendant that
showcases a baroque pearl as the body of a frog, Domínguez’s lecture
examines how early modern collectibles, usually overlooked as innocuous
decorative pieces, advanced the Western ideal of human mastery over
nature and, in the process, addressed larger ideas about exploration and
colonization.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#d586cffd-ad4b-45b9-8581-f6a2bbf70d87;L0|#0d586cffd-ad4b-45b9-8581-f6a2bbf70d87|Presentations;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=223 | |
