Francisco de Goya ble født i Spania 1746. Hoffmaler for Kong Karl IV og Ferdinand VII i Madrid. Kjent som portrettmaler, men også for visualisering av krigens lidelser. “Flere tiår etter sin død ble europeiske kunstnere inspirert av Goyas dragning mot de mørke og mystiske sidene av det menneskelige” skriver MUNCH på nettsidene sine i forbindelse med utstillingen Goya og Munch. Moderne profetier. Mona Pahle Bjerke og Cecilie Tyri Holt inviterer med seg en samtidskunstner til MUNCH.

Entre 1808 et 1825, l'empire espganol en Amérique centrale et du Sud prend fin, une quinzaine de territoires accèdent à l'indépendance. Ces révolutions sont trop souvent vues uniquement à travers le prisme des épopées des grands "Libertadores" comme Simon Bolivar. Gonzague Espinosa-Dassonneville les analyse dans une perspective impériale, car les événements américains sont étroitements liés à la siuation dans la péninsule ibérique, alors d'abord sous le joug des troupes napoléoniennes puis gouvernée par Ferdinand VII qui, hésitant entre retour à l'absolutisme et libéralisation forcée, ne prend pas la mesure des nouvelles réalités outre-atlantique.
Ferdinand VII was a bad person, a lousy husband, and has been called the worst king of Spain ever. But the intense political turmoil of the time has been historically overshadowed by the legacy of his big, weirdly shaped, uncontrollable penis. His four wives (all named Maria) each had terrible experiences with his dastardly dong, because if the anatomy wasn't challenging enough, the guy behind it was the REAL dick.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Monica Ricketts' new book Who Should Rule? Men of Arms, the Republic of Letters, and the Fall of the Spanish Empire (Oxford University Press, 2017) presents readers with the connected histories of military cadres and intellectuals in Peru and Spain c. 1770-1830. The book advances the argument that a Crown-sponsored change in the idea of “merit” in the Spanish Empire made possible the rise to power of new military cadres and the renewal of the Hispanic republic of letters. Ricketts argues that these changes had important consequences as these two cohorts of individuals battled over who had the merits to rule the Empire during the captivity of Spanish king Ferdinand VII under Napoleon, and after independence in Peru. Such shift in the conception of merit accounted for the rise of men like Agustin Gamarra and Andres de Santa Cruz, two of the most prominent leaders of independent Peru, to high military rank in the Spanish imperial armies first, and in the revolutionary ones later. The quest for an intellectual renewal in Spain and Spanish America also led to a reinvigoration of a Spanish Atlantic republic of letters. There too new men rose to prominence based on their literary and intellectual achievements. Part of these Spanish Atlantic intellectuals would battle with the men of the military concerning whom had the most “merits” to govern in Spain and Spanish America. Ricketts' book stimulates the reader to ask questions regarding the origins of “meritocratic” thinking in Spain and Latin America, as well as how coherent military bodies came into public life.

CHEFREDAKTÖR, FÖRFATTARE. Johan Hakelius tar med oss på en resa i porträttens värld och allt som bubblar under ytan på ett porträtt. Och vad vi läser in i porträtten. Och om det verkligen spelar roll. Han erbjuder en exposé av porträtt av både stora och små historiska personer, däribland Hertigen av Wellington, Ferdinand VII av Spanien, drottning Elizabeth II och Lucien Freud. Vi får höra historierna om porträtten: personerna bakom penseln och personerna som satt modell. Johan Hakelius tar sig även an klichén att alla porträtt i grunden är självporträtt, på vilket han svarar: Men problemet med klichéer är att de är platta, inte att de är osanna. Från historiska porträtt riktar även Johan Hakelius blicken på idag och mot framtiden. Han ser hot mot vårt gemensamma kulturella minne, och de våldsamma puritaner från alla håll som vill förstöra monument, konst och målningar, men han avslutar det hela hoppfullt: Så länge det finns ett porträtt kvar, kan vi bjuda motstånd. Verken Johan Hakelius nämner i sitt program: Porträtt av Arthur Wellesley, hertig av Wellington (1812-14) - Francisco Goya Porträtt av Ferdinand VII av Spanien (1815) - Francisco Goya Porträtt av Innocentius X (ca 1650) - Diego Velázquez Studie efter Velázquez Porträtt av Innocentius X (1953) - Francis Bacon Tre studier av Lucian Freud (1969) - Francis Bacon Kvinna i vit skjorta (1956-57) - Lucian Freud Porträtt av en man (Andrew Cavendish, 11:e Hertigen av Devonshire) (1971) - Lucian Freud Drottning Elizabeth II (2000-01) - Lucian Freud The Old Shepherd's Chief Mourner (1837) - Edwin Henry Landseer Windsor Castle in modern times; Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and Victoria, Princess Royal (1841-43) - Edwin Henry Landseer Eos (1841) - Edwin Henry Landseer Arundelgrav i Chichesters katedral Självporträtt (1658) - Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn Thomas More (1527) - Hans Holbein d.y. Thomas Cromwell (1532-33) - Hans Holbein d.y. Andy Warhol (1970) - Alice Neel Staty av Hertigen av Wellington till häst i Glasgow (med trafikkon) Porträtt av Arthur Wellesley, hertig av Wellington (1844) - Antoine Claudet Om Johan Hakelius Chefredaktör på tidningen Fokus. Kolumnist som regelbundet medverkar i bland annat Expressen, TV 4:s Nyhetsmorgon och Spanarna i P1.
