This episode explores the courtly culture of Renaissance Urbino through Baldassare Castiglione's landmark Book of the Courtier (1528), one of the most influential literary works of the Renaissance. After considering Giovanni Santi's Cronaca rimata and its celebration of Urbino's artistic world, the discussion turns to Castiglione's vision of the ideal courtier, shaped by his experiences in the courts of Milan, Mantua, and Urbino under Guidobaldo da Montefeltro.Through a series of lively dialogues set in the Ducal Palace, Castiglione examines the qualities expected of the perfect courtier: elegance, wit, athleticism, eloquence, moral virtue, and the effortless display of mastery. Through this text, the episode also explores Renaissance attitudes toward humor, language, and the ideals around women of the court.Support/Watch/Follow/Learn: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastThe Florentine Renaissance CourseSupport the show

We are called to build an altar of prayer and worship in Chanctonbury. The altar builds a firm spiritual gate in a place and it acts an entrance point for more of the spirit of the living God. There are spiritual gates that allow darkness into the world. It was in that context in Ephesus that the church rises., in a city built around the Greek Goddess of Artemis. Historically Chanctonbury has been an area where a temple was build to the goddess Diana. Places are affected by the gates that are opened. We need to come out from under it and come over it. We are called to be apostolic people; one, holy and set apart. Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. As we stand and pray in the spirit on all occasions, we build the 1st Altar of Sacrifice. The 2nd Altar of Feasting at the Lord's table and the 3rd Altar is the Altar of Incense; these are the prayers of the saints rising and reshaping the Western church. (Revelation 8;3-5). Let's be encouraged to build these altars, in this place to bring transformation.

L'exposition s'intitule « Gothiques », tant ce mouvement, né au XIIe siècle en France, revêt différents atours. « Cette exposition gothique au Louvre-Lens a la particularité de proposer un voyage à travers 1000 ans d'histoire », précise la directrice du musée, Annabelle Ténèze. Elle nous propose de traverser ce que peut-être la vie gothique, aussi bien au Moyen Âge, jusqu'à la contre-culture goth. Pour résumer, de Notre-Dame de Paris à Gotham City, la ville de Batman. Ce voyage dans le temps et l'espace commence en 1 140 par l'architecture et la sculpture. Parmi les quelque 250 œuvres, dessins, peintures, vitraux ou même musique, on trouve beaucoup de sculptures médiévales extrêmement raffinées. Le conseiller scientifique de l'exposition, Florent Meunier, conservateur en chef du patrimoine au musée du Louvre, nous présente une pièce d'exception.« C'est le moulage du Tentateur de la cathédrale de Bâle, donc un canton Suisse actuel. Derrière le moulage, il y a des animaux venimeux, des serpents, des crapauds. Alors de face, par contre, c'est un homme qui essaie de séduire. Il a enlevé un gant, c'est extrêmement intéressant », raconte-t-il. Le gothique révolutionne l'architecture des églises, et pourtant, le terme « gothique » est, à l'origine, péjoratif. C'est même une insulte lâchée par les artistes de la Renaissance. « Les contemporains du gothique ne lui donnent pas un nom et au XVIe siècle, Raphaël, Castiglione, Vasari, mais aussi Rabelais pour la France, se mettent à appeler l'art du Moyen Âge "gothique", c'est-à-dire aussi barbare que l'art des Goths et des Vandales, qui avaient détruit Rome au Ve siècle », explique Annabelle Ténèze.  Le retour en grâce du gothique Au XIXe siècle, avec la rénovation de Notre-Dame ou la mode des romans gothiques anglais, le style revient en grâce et impose une nouvelle esthétique, qui se diffuse jusqu'à nos jours. Le Louvre-Lens expose des œuvres contemporaines, comme une sorte de cathédrale bulldozer de métal conçue par le Belge Wim Delvoye, ou un tryptique, réalisé par la jeune artiste, Agathe Pitié. « Une œuvre qui s'appelle "Le sac de Rome par les Goths". Au lieu que ce soit les Goths, le peuple contre les Romains, ce sont les gothiques de la contre-culture. On retrouve dans mon travail des éléments d'architecture gothique, des stars de la contre-culture, mais aussi une référence au Moyen Âge gothique avec un trait rappelant l'enluminure médiévale », précise Agathe Pitié.  Et à l'heure actuelle, entre le succès du concert de Mylène Farmer, Nevermore, et celui de la série Wednesday de Tim Burton sur Netflix, le gothique a encore de beaux jours devant lui.

As promised in part 1 we started the podcast by talking about some of Napoleon III's many mistresses.  Women like Harriet Howard, the Brighton bootmaker's daughter, Virginia de Castiglione, sent by the Italians to seduce and spy on him (and welcomed with open arms!), Marguerite Bellanger and Louise de Mercy-Argenteau. His wife hated his infidelities but at least in the case of Louise she took comfort that she was a proper aristocrat!Moving on from the scandalous we talked about Napoleon III's solid achievements. Not least his success in the Crimean War which led to an alliance with the British and bringing France in from the diplomatic cold. And domestically the economy thrived and Paris was rebuilt.The great tragedy of Napoleon III's reign was that he was up against Bismark. Suffering from various illnesses (bladder stones in particular) his judgement was possibly affected. And Bismark tricks him into declaring war - with predictable results. His son survived him and oddly ended up fighting with the British Army in South Africa. If you don't know the story this alone makes the podcast more than worth the time.If you enjoy this podcast on France's second Empire - its scandals, triumphs, and collapses - then please follow Subject to Change, share it with a friend who loves history, and leave a review telling me what struck you most.If you click here you can text me with feedback.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the idea that Civility, in one of its meanings, is among the most valuable social virtues: the skill to discuss topics that really matter to you, with someone who disagrees and yet somehow still get along. In another of its meanings, when Civility describes the limits of behaviour that is acceptable, the idea can reflect society at its worst: when only those deemed 'civil enough' are allowed their rights, their equality and even their humanity. Between these extremes, Civility is a slippery idea that has fascinated philosophers especially since the Reformation, when competing ideas on how to gain salvation seemed to make it impossible to disagree and remain civil.With Teresa Bejan Professor of Political Theory at Oriel College, University of OxfordPhil Withington Professor of History at the University of SheffieldAnd John Gallagher Associate Professor of Early Modern History at the University of LeedsProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list: Teresa M.

Uno sguardo sull'umanità tra miti, attualità ed emozioni attraverso la Collezione Bachelot.La mostra, promossa dall'Associazione culturale Imago Mundi e curata da Tiziana Bonomo, espone circa 90 ritratti originali selezionati all'interno di una delle più importanti collezioni fotografiche private in Francia e in Europa permeata da un profondo spirito umanista.  Diversi autori noti come Lewis Hine, Arnold Newman, Irwing Penn, Dorothea Lange, Saul Leiter, Nan Goldin, Ann Ray, Mohamed Bourouissa  e Gilles Caron,  compongono una costellazione di sguardi che attraversa il Novecento e la contemporaneità.La mostra in naturale armonia con il Museo Nazionale del Risorgimento Italiano, galleria dei protagonisti di un'epoca della Storia d'Italia, offre in un video un saggio del patrimonio dei 17.000 documenti fotografici che il museo custodisce. Tra alcuni soggetti del Risorgimento emergono i ritratti della Contessa di Castiglione che fu la prima nell'800 ad usare la fotografia per propagandare il proprio fascino. Il ritratto ci avvicina, ci interroga, ci invita al dialogo, creando nuovi momenti segnati dall'impatto di ciò che la semplice contemplazione può suscitare in noi.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, Religious Lectionary: 370The Saint of the day is Saint Aloysius GonzagaSaint Aloysius Gonzaga's Story The Lord can make saints anywhere, even amid the brutality and license of Renaissance life. Florence was the “mother of piety” for Aloysius Gonzaga despite his exposure to a “society of fraud, dagger, poison, and lust.” As a son of a princely family, he grew up in royal courts and army camps. His father wanted Aloysius to be a military hero. At age 7 Aloysius experienced a profound spiritual quickening. His prayers included the Office of Mary, the psalms, and other devotions. At age 9 he came from his hometown of Castiglione to Florence to be educated; by age 11 he was teaching catechism to poor children, fasting three days a week, and practicing great austerities. When he was 13 years old, he traveled with his parents and the Empress of Austria to Spain, and acted as a page in the court of Philip II. The more Aloysius saw of court life, the more disillusioned he became, seeking relief in learning about the lives of saints. A book about the experience of Jesuit missionaries in India suggested to him the idea of entering the Society of Jesus, and in Spain his decision became final. Now began a four-year contest with his father. Eminent churchmen and laypeople were pressed into service to persuade Aloysius to remain in his “normal” vocation. Finally he prevailed, was allowed to renounce his right to succession, and was received into the Jesuit novitiate. Like other seminarians, Aloysius was faced with a new kind of penance—that of accepting different ideas about the exact nature of penance. He was obliged to eat more, and to take recreation with the other students. He was forbidden to pray except at stated times. He spent four years in the study of philosophy and had Saint Robert Bellarmine as his spiritual adviser. In 1591, a plague struck Rome. The Jesuits opened a hospital of their own. The superior general himself and many other Jesuits rendered personal service. Because he nursed patients, washing them and making their beds, Aloysius caught the disease. A fever persisted after his recovery and he was so weak he could scarcely rise from bed. Yet he maintained his great discipline of prayer, knowing that he would die three months later within the octave of Corpus Christi, at the age of 23. Reflection As a saint who fasted, scourged himself, sought solitude and prayer, and did not look on the faces of women, Aloysius seems an unlikely patron of youth in a society where asceticism is confined to training camps of football teams and boxers, and sexual permissiveness has little left to permit. Can an overweight and air-conditioned society deprive itself of anything? It will when it discovers a reason, as Aloysius did. The motivation for letting God purify us is the experience of God loving us in prayer.
