ART & ART HISTORY

Artemisia Gentileschi: The Female Genius of Baroque Painting $25 / $30 June 2 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday OL3760 – Online Speaker: James Pagliaro Last year for the first time, the London National Gallery dedicated a major exhibition to a female artist. The accomplished Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi was described by BBC News as “...the Beyoncé of art history.” Also referred to as the “Queen Bee of Female Empowerment” by the pundits, this genius of the Baroque Era is finally getting the attention and acclaim her vast talents warrant. Join us as we explore the tumultuous life and greatest works of one of the most accomplished 17th century artists, who was producing prodigious paintings by the age of 15 and was the first woman to become a member of the prestigious Academy of Design in Florence. Find out why her glorious and dramatic paintings are often described as a reflection of her own tragic life experiences and a “thrill ride into vengeance.”

Inside the World’s Great Museums: London’s National Gallery $25 / $30 June 23 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday OL3761 – Online Speaker: Carol Jonson Located on bustling Trafalgar Square in London, the National Gallery was founded as a museum for all classes of people. It was also a beacon of hope in war-devastated London. Today, the National Gallery hosts more than five million visitors annually who come to see its 2300+ masterpieces of Western painting including works from the Italian and Northern Renaissance periods; the Dutch Golden Age; British, Italian and French masters of the 18th and 19th centuries; and the Impressionists. Join us as we explore the artistic treasures of the National Gallery, London.

Masterpieces of the Baroque $25 / $30 June 24 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday OL3762 – Online Speaker: James Pagliaro The Baroque is a unique style of architecture, painting, sculpture, music and other arts that flourished in Europe starting in the early 17th century and continued for almost 150 years. The almost “over the top” epic panoramas, the energetic and dramatic narratives, and the emotional impact of Baroque art still pack a powerful punch. Initially encouraged by the Catholic Church as a contrast to the simplicity and austerity of Protestantism, it took on a life of its own with the most amazing designs in buildings, and an explosion of creativity in sculpture, painting and music. Join us as we explore the origins and characteristics of this artistic style, and study some of the great artistic achievements of its most famous practitioners.

The Philosophy of Art $25 / $30 July 6 at 2:30 – 4pm, Tuesday OL3765 – Online Speaker: John Winters What is art? Common examples of art forms include drama, dance, opera, poetry, music, painting and architecture. Why are these examples of art? Are there additional examples of art? What about movies and photography? Are there other purported examples that are not art? What about a painting executed by a chimpanzee that sold for $10,000? How about a lovely tree made by God? What is the function of art? Should we look at art from the point of view of the audience or the artist? Is art representation? Is art expression? What are abstract works of art? Are they art? Where does the concept of “beauty” fit into a philosophy of art? Join this lecture as we examine these and other questions about “what is art?”

Tour of the Uffizi Gallery (2-part series) $46 / $56 July 15, 29 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursdays OL3767 – Online Speaker: James Pagliaro Participants may register for the entire series (OL3767) or for any of the individual lectures below. The Uffizi Gallery is one of the most important Italian museums and one of the most visited and best known in the world. The COVID pandemic has prevented many of us from seeing this great Museum and its extensive collection in person. Join us as we explore one of the first modern museums and delve into its history and affiliation with the Medici family, its architecture, and its extensive collection of some of the greatest treasures of the Italian Renaissance.

• Tour of the Uffizi Gallery – Session I $25 / $30 July 15 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday OL3768 – Online In Session I we will look at the construction and unique architecture of this unusual building, and its ties to the ruling Medici dynasty. while exploring the early works from the great Italian Painters of the 13th and 14th centuries, like Cimabue, Giotto, and Botticelli, the period referred to by Art Historians as the Proto-Renaissance.

• Tour of the Uffizi Gallery – Session II $25 / $30 July 29 at 1:30 – 3pm, Thursday OL3769 – Online In Session II, we will do a deep dive into the greatest masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance by examining the most famous works by painters like Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Raphael, among others. This is an experience not to be missed by those who long to return to the joys of international cultural travel.

J.M.W. Turner: Painter of Light $25 / $30 August 11 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday OL3770 – Online Speaker: Carol Jonson Joseph Mallord William Turner has often been called “The Painter of Light.” This 19th century English landscape artist’s techniques – controversial in his day – captured nature in all its moods. Turner is credited not only with enhancing the importance of landscape as a genre but also with crafting works in a manner that paved the way for the later 19th century Impressionists.

Inside the World’s Great Museums: The British Museum, London $25/ $30 August 25 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday OL3771 – Online Speaker: Carol Jonson The British Museum holds an astonishing eight million works in its collection. Even though only 80,000 are on display, they take the visitor around the globe and millennia back in time. This lecture will concentrate on museum highlights from Ancient Egypt – including the Rosetta Stone, the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece – including the controversial and beautiful Elgin Marbles and early British history.

The Renaissance in Northern Italy $25 / $30 September 7 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday OL3772 – Online Speaker: Dr. Rocky Ruggiero

The Louvre, Paris

fgcu.edu/academy or (239) 434-4737

This lecture will examine the art and architecture of Northern Italy during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Although Florence and Rome are usually considered to be the centers of Renaissance art, many cities north of the Apennines were also centers of extraordinary artistic production. Many believe that this was the result of an artistic “contamination,” as many of Florence’s greatest artists, such as Giotto, Donatello, Alberti and Leonardo da Vinci, traveled to northern cities, exposing them to the ideas and movements of the Renaissance. But cities such as Parma would instead produce their own local geniuses such as Correggio and Parmigianino, whose work would rival that of any central Italian master. Regardless of the reason, by the end of the fifteenth century, much of Italy’s greatest art was being produced in cities that are better known today for their industry or culinary traditions. By examining this art and history first-hand, we will define the meaning of the Renaissance in Northern Italy.

Landscape Greats: Gainsborough, Constable and Turner $25 / $30 September 8 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday OL3773 – Online Speaker: Carol Jonson Following in the footsteps of earlier Dutch artists, three English artists of the 19th century began a tradition of landscape painting in England. They were Thomas Gainsborough (today thought of mainly for his portraits), John Constable, and J.M.W. Turner, whose beautiful use of color often earns him the nickname of the “Father of Impressionism.” Join this fascinating exploration of their landscape masterpieces.

Michelangelo: The First Modern Artist $25 / $30 September 14 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday OL3774 – Online Speaker: Dr. Rocky Ruggiero At the end of the 15th century, Italian painting had reached the peak of naturalistic representation in the work of Leonardo Da Vinci. If painters could push no further in objective representation, the logical consequence was that painting became subjective. Surprisingly, the painter who ushered in this new interpretive style was a sculptor named Michelangelo Buonarroti! This lecture will examine how Michelangelo saw the world through the myopic lens of the male nude set in abstract space and surrounded by an extraordinarily expressive range of colors. Not surprisingly, the result was the first “ism” movement in the history of art, called Mannerism, which prefigured the codified artistic movements of late 19th and 20th centuries.

Roma: Caput Mundi $25 / $30 September 21 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday OL3775 – Online Speaker: Dr. Rocky Ruggiero The ancient Romans referred to their city as the “caput mundi,” or the “capital of the world.” Stretching as far west as the Atlantic Ocean, as far south as the Sahara, north to modern-day Scotland, and east to the Euphrates River, the Roman Empire encompassed nearly half of the known world. The ancient monuments of Rome still stand as testimony to the former power of the city. We shall examine these monuments firsthand and stand in the shadow of one of the most extraordinary ensembles of monumental architecture in history.

Inside The World’s Great Museums: The Louvre, Paris $25 / $30 September 22 at 10 – 11:30am, Wednesday OL3776 – Online Speaker: Carol Jonson The Louvre, a former palace of French kings, is probably the most famous and most visited Museum in the world. Only 35,000 of its eight-million works are on display from the Ancient Near East and Egypt through the Renaissance, Baroque and Neo-classical eras. Whether you are planning a visit or remembering a past one, this armchair tour will highlight some of the Museum’s most important works including the “three girls of the Louvre” Winged Victory, Venus di Milo and Mona Lisa.

The Little Giant: How St. Francis of Assisi changed the World $25 / $30 September 28 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday OL3777– Online Speaker: Dr. Rocky Ruggiero At the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, a man named Francis from Assisi changed the world. Not only did he begin to reform the Catholic Church by living the example of Christ in taking a vow of poverty, but he also changed the way that medieval Christians saw the natural world. Francis claimed that nature was given to us as a gift from God and therefore was not only good but imbued with God himself. Nature should not be shunned and ignored, but celebrated and revered. Not surprisingly, within a half century of his death in 1226, artists like Cimabue, Dante and Giotto appeared, and each reflected the little giant’s philosophy in his respective art. This lecture examines the history, architecture and decoration of great

shrine to St. Francis in Assisi that was decorated by a veritable all-star team of late-13th/early-14th-century artists such as Cimabue, Simone Martini, Pietro Lorenzetti and perhaps even Giotto.

BIOGRAPHIES

Mary Queen of Scots $25 / $30 June 17 at 10 – 11:30am, Thursday BR3778 – The Commons Club at the Brooks OL3779 – Online Speaker: Nancy Maxwell For love, power, intrigue and scandal you cannot beat the story of Mary Stuart! She was Queen of Scotland at six days old, Queen of France at sixteen, and had events gone as planned, Scotland would today be a part of France today! She fully expected to become Queen of England as well. Instead in a tragic twist of fate, Mary lost her head. Political ambition, intrigue, love, murder, plots and deception: did Mary create her own fate or was she a victim of much stronger outside forces?

Queen Elizabeth I – Gloriana! $25 / $30 June 25 at 2:30 – 4pm, Friday OL3781 – Online Speaker: Nancy Maxwell Where would England be today had Elizabeth I not become queen? A lesser ruler might have succumbed to the conflicting demands of political factions. A lesser personality might have indulged personal whims at the cost of ministerial respect.

Against great odds – her father ordered her mother’s execution; she had no husband; she produced no heir; her cousin plotted her assassination – Elizabeth nevertheless tackled religious strife, political divisions, court intrigue, and war, to guide England to a state of unity and prosperity.

The Mitford Family – A Tale of Passion and Pathos $25 / $30 July 23 at 1:30 – 3pm, Friday OL3783 – Online Speaker: Nancy Maxwell The Mitford family was riddled with eccentricity, but the six Mitford girls were born into a society of confident aristocratic privilege and tradition. The social celebrities of their day, they were destined for lives of security and leisure, even as Europe careened toward war. Shockingly, the Mitford sisters broke rank with their class and became, individually, fervent communists, fascists, or Nazis. Except for one, who became a duchess! And another, who became a world-famous author!

Their Mitford story is one of not a little scandal and tragedy, but also a fascinating tale of lives lived with integrity, loyalty, and surprisingly, plenty of humor.

The Last of the Romanovs $25 / $30 July 27 at 2:30 – 4pm, Tuesday OL3785 – Online Speaker: Nancy Maxwell The 300 year-old Romanov dynasty, all powerful rulers of the Russian empire, came to a shocking end in 1917 as the Russian Revolution swept across the country. For some time their story was lost, swallowed by bigger events. How did Czar Nicholas II, a gentle, family man, end up in a remote prison? What happened to his five children, all on the brink of bright futures?

What was the fate of the extended Romanov family? Let us trace their story and resolve some of the mystery!

But fate and his mother had other plans for George, and at the age of 54 he sailed, none too willingly, for England. The English were not particularly glad to see George arrive, either. But George took the English throne, took an English mistress, and established the Hanoverian line in his new homeland – even if he did loathe his son!

The Creation of Italy $25 / $30 August 17 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday OL3868 – Online Speaker: Nancy Maxwell A visitor to Italy today travels freely through the magnificent cities of Florence, Naples, Rome and Venice; but it was not always so easy. Italy is a relatively new country, and the fabled cities may indeed be regarded as prizes, because they did not all join Italy willingly! It took a combination of the wily statesman Camillo Cavour, the political activism of the secret revolutionary Giuseppe Mazzini, and the romantic nationalism of Giuseppe Garibaldi – none of whom wanted to work together – to draw disparate “Italians” together. And even that wasn’t quite enough. Napoleon III and Bismarck had something to add.

This presentation will look at the remarkable personalities and events that led to the emergence of a unified Italy in 1871.

World War II, Operation Overlord and D-Day $25 / $30 September 13 at 10 – 11:30am, Monday OL3910 - Online Speaker: Ken Nesbitt

During the night of June 5, 1944, an Allied invasion armada of over 5,000 ships headed for the Normandy coast. A little past midnight the rst waves of airborne troops parachuted and landed glider planes near the beaches to secure the anks and disrupt German Defenses. Allied bombers and ghter planes ew 10,000 sorties in support of the invasion that day, attacking targets all across the invasion zone. Operation Overlord had started. On that single day 150,000 Allied troops and 16,000 vehicles landed in Normandy.

The Allied beach names would become famous; Gold, Juno, Sword, Omaha and Utah, were the code words for previously anonymous stretches of French coastline that became a part of history. The invasion itself was a huge gamble on an unprecedented scale. From the first airborne landings at Pegasus Bridge in the darkness on June 6, until the closing of the Falaise Gap 10 weeks later on August 18, the Allied and the German Armies fought a desperate battle of attrition, from the beaches, through the hedgerows, and villages, to the capture of Caen and beyond. So why Normandy? Why June 6? What were the risks?

How did the Germans prepare? Why did the Allies succeed? All good questions that we will discuss in this presentation.

The Creation of Germany $25 / $30 September 14 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday OL3886 – Online Speaker: Nancy Maxwell

Perhaps because of its dominant role in two world wars, it is easy to think of Germany as an old nation with a long history.

But Germany is a young state, less than 150 years old. The original territory was divided into myriad small holdings ruled by independent noble families and surrounded by the powerful states of Austria and France. The path to unification would be blocked by all of these. Despite earlier attempts, it took the rise of Otto von Bismarck, with his cunning, wisdom and political acuity, to overcome all these obstacles and establish the German Empire.

VENONA – Soviet Spies in America $25 / $30 September 14 at 1:30 – 3pm, Tuesday BR3887 – The Commons Club at the Brooks OL3888 – Online Speaker: Thomas Eastwood During World War II and the Cold War Soviet spies and operatives infiltrated the White House, Treasury, State, DOJ, WAR, and DOD. They also penetrated our most guarded program, the Manhattan Project. Fortunately, the U.S. Army had a top-secret counterintelligence project to decode Soviet Intelligence messages. Most of the cryptanalysts were women at Arlington Hall, VA. VENONA was instrumental in identifying American spies. Many were committed communists who were highly placed. We explore this program and its far-reaching impact.

After a 55-day siege, French forces were defeated at Dien Bien Phu by the Vietnamese army under Vo Nguyen Giap. This led swiftly to a decision at Geneva that heralded the end of the French Empire in Indochina and the increased American role in Vietnam. In this class, we discuss the battle itself, the link between this 1954 military defeat and diplomatic surrender and what led the Americans to replace the French in Vietnam.

The lecturer served in Vietnam (1965-1966 and 1970-1972) and spent many years afterwards involved in Vietnamese affairs.

Those crazy Romantics! They were so emotional and passionate. They were interested in nature, but also the weird and diabolical. We will learn more about some of the betterknown composers and their lives, as well as listen to their music.

On a remote sawmill in the remote territory of California, James Marshall was surprised to find gold nuggets in the sand. The story of the gold spread faster than bad news through the small towns of Sacramento and San Francisco.

Join Dr. Franz as he shares this ‘boom or bust’ story.

By employing an interpretive process, we will use the Bill of Rights and the Bible to ascertain the meaning the original authors intended, as well as how the original audiences would have interpreted and understood the messages.

Apollo 14 launched from NASA’S Kennedy Space Center carrying astronauts Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell and Stuart Roosa in January 1971.
