Conflict and Sexual Violence in Early Modern Europe
Conflict and Sexual Violence in Early Modern Europe: An Introduction. Un article de la revue Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme (Special issue: Rethinking Conflict and Sexual Violence in Early Modern Europe) diffusée par la plateforme Érudit
Rape or Rapaciousness in Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen’s Tunis Tapestries
Court artist Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen produced a set of cartoons for the Tunis tapestries commissioned by Mary of Hungary and woven in Brussels in c. 1546–54. Throughout the ten extant cartoons, women are subjected to violence, but they are also presented as economically valuable captives and slaves. In the sole surviving preparatory drawing, Vermeyen recorded more extreme physical depredation, with the corpse of a young, obese woman lying on her s…

Writing the Dead
This essay explores the impact of the Shirazi poets Saʿdi and Hafiz on the famous Baroque traveler, Pietro della Valle. Hitherto unexplained features of the magnificent funeral he designed for his Syrian Christian wife, Sitti Maʿani Gioerida, in Rome (1627) can be related to the poets’ tombs he had seen in Shiraz immediately following her untimely demise. In Safavid Iran, Della Valle was impressed by the production of commemorative poetry as well…
Popes, patriarchs, and print

The Bride of Trebizond
A Florentine cassone (wedding chest) painted circa 1460 by Apollonio di Giovanni and Marco del Buono shows a battle taking place in the vicinity of the Byzantine empire of Trebizond located on the Black Sea. In 1458, the Trapezuntine princess Theodora Komnena married the Turkmen leader Uzun Hasan. I argue that the imagery of the wedding chest refers to Uzun Hasan’s early military success against the Ottoman Turks in 1459–60. He appears on a trium…
