Beyond Revisionism
Woman in a turban
The heroine of Germaine de Staël’s Corinne, or Italy (1807) makes her first appearance in the novel ‘dressed like Domenichino’s Sibyl’, wearing an Indian shawl wound into a turban. The aim of this essay is to highlight the contribution that the tradition of Sibylline iconography made to the characterization of the heroine of Corinne by locating Staël in a long line of artists, writers, and patrons, particularly female ones, who adapted and approp…

Envisioning Blindness in Eighteenth-Century Paris
Diderot’s Letter on the Blind (1749) is widely held to have inaugurated a new, rational and humane approach to visual impairment, which, so it has further been argued, helped to shape the way that the blind were represented by eighteenth-century French artists. By contrast, this essay contends that such images are heavily indebted to iconographic convention and other established tropes of blindness, as well as to the professional and personal con…
National Gallery Catalogues
This immensely long and richly illustrated book serves as a companion volume to the catalogue of the seventeenth-century French paintings, published in 2001, also by Humphrey Wine, who, until his retirement in 2016, was the curator of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century French paintings at the National Gallery. Whereas the earlier catalogue was dominated by Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain, both of whom had been enthusiastically collected by th…

Extracting bilingual terms from the Web
In this paper we make two contributions. First, we describe a multi-component system called BiTES (Bilingual Term Extraction System) designed to automatically gather domain-specific bilingual term pairs from Web data. BiTES components consist of data gathering tools, domain classifiers, monolingual text extraction systems and bilingual term aligners. BiTES is readily extendable to new language pairs and has been successfully used to gather biling…
Académie Royale
In her thoughtful and illuminating book, Hannah Williams develops a distinctively new approach to the central institution of the ancien-régime art world. Whereas previous studies have explored the theory, teaching and practice of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, Williams seeks to reconstruct the internal dynamics of the organization. In order to build up a picture of the Académie as a community as much as an institution, she takes…
Policing LGBTIQ people in rural spaces
This article argues identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and/or questioning (LGBTIQ) in rural spaces can produce specific types of policing experiences. While some literature examines the experiences of LGBTIQ people with police, very little has focused on how rurality explicitly shapes these experiences. This is significant considering research highlights how rurality can be connected to pronounced experiences of h…
Suicide around Anniversary Times
The anniversary of the loss of a loved one is known to induce negative emotions, which for some can be significant. The present study examined the incidence of suicide around the time of such anniversaries using data from the Queensland Suicide Register for the years 1998 to 2008. There were statistically significant increases in suicide events immediately after the loss of a loved one and around the anniversary of the loss. Limitations of the st…
Reading the Greuze Girl
This essay challenges the generally accepted interpretation of Greuze's Young Girl Weeping over Her Dead Bird (1765) as an allegory of lost virginity by considering the painting in relation to eighteenth-century representations of the young girl in a range of discourses. The central contention is that the implied spectator to whom the picture is addressed is a quasi-paternal figure who disavows his own desire for the girl whilst nevertheless enjo…
Mme Geoffrin, Painting and Galanterie
This essay explores Mme Geoffrin's commission of two paintings from Carle Van Loo: the Conversation espagnole (1754) and Lecture espagnole (c. 1755). It argues that the "Spanish" theme needs to be understood with reference to the French discourse on galanterie and to aristocratic spectacle. It also explores the significance of the choice of Mme de Lafayette's novel, Zayde (1671), as the reading matter in the Lecture. The central contention is tha…
