Cristina Aldrich, a doctoral student at the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University, joins the Meadows Museum for the academic year 2023–24 as a new Center for Spain in America (CSA) Curatorial Fellow. The fellowship provides Aldrich—who has received the Shelby White and Leon Levy Travel Grant at the Institute of Fine Arts and both the J.G. White Prize for excellence in Spanish and the Sampson Fine Arts Prize at Cornell University—with the opportunity to gain professional experience in the curatorial department and further her doctoral research on the sacred place of the Virgin Mary in medieval Castilian sculpture thanks to the Meadows Museum’s extensive holdings of Spanish painting and sculpture.

In 1962, Dallas businessman and philanthropist Algur H. Meadows donated his private collection of Spanish paintings, as well as funds to start a museum, to Southern Methodist University. The museum opened to the public in 1965, marking the first step in fulfilling Meadows’s vision to create “a small Prado for Texas.” Today, the Meadows is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Spanish art outside of Spain. The collection spans from the 10th to the 21st centuries and includes medieval objects, Renaissance and Baroque sculptures, and major paintings by Golden Age and modern masters.

Jesús Escobar is professor of art history at Northwestern University in Chicago. His research explores architecture and urbanism of the early modern Spanish Empire from the vantages of politics, space, and cross-cultural exchange. He is the author of The Plaza Mayor and the Shaping of Baroque Madrid (Cambridge University Press, 2004; Spanish-language edition, Editorial Nerea, 2007) and Habsburg Madrid: Architecture and the Spanish Monarchy (Penn State University Press, 2022), both winners of the Eleanor Tufts Award. Escobar is also editor of the scholarly book series, Buildings, Landscapes, and Societies.

At the Clark, he will work on an article considering the transatlantic itineraries of two accomplished Dominican priests—Antonio de Monroy, a native of Mexico, and Juan Meléndez, a native of Peru—and their individual experiences with architecture in Mexico, Peru, Spain, and Italy. The research is related to a book project with the working title, “Americans Abroad in the Seventeenth Century: People, Buildings, and the Space of Empire.” Focusing on American-born protagonists and using a transatlantic framework, the project deliberately challenges traditional narratives about the transmission of architectural knowledge as a story that begins in Europe and travels west across the Atlantic Ocean.

Over the course of her twenty-eight-year career as a curator at The Frick Collection, Susan Grace Galassi has produced critically acclaimed exhibitions and publications focused on European and American artists across centuries. Among her most memorable explorations––many of them undertaken with her longtime collaborator Jonathan Brown––were shows on Goya, Picasso, El Greco and Zurbarán.

Initiated on the occasion of Susan’s retirement from the Frick in 2019, this collection of essays celebrates her career and honors her passion for bringing people together around art and history. The editors and the authors represented in this publication––colleagues, collaborators, and mentees––have had the pleasure of working with Susan and learning from her inspiring example and generous friendship. In the spirit of Susan’s wide-ranging contributions to the field of nineteenth-century art, the essays also reach across temporal and geographic boundaries while addressing attitudes toward the past and tradition; cultural exchange and the experience of traveling or living abroad; collecting and display by later generations. Altogether this Festschrift presents a picture of the artistic and cultural practices that ensued amid increasing global exchange and evolving concepts of national and racial identity in the long nineteenth century.

This Special Section in the 33/2021 issue of 19^th Century Studies is made possible by the generosity of the CEEH, the CSA and other anonymous funders.

Sir David Cannadine, winner of a Pulitzer Prize, in conversation with Inge Reist, Director Emerita of the Center for the History of Collecting, in celebration of the publication of “What’s Mine is Yours”: Private Collectors and Public Patronage in the United States. Essays in Honor of Inge Reist, jointly published by The Frick Collection, the CEEH y the CSA.

The Meadows Museum, Dallas, and The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, in collaboration with the Museo Nacional de Escultura, Valladolid, present the first major U.S. exhibition dedicated to Spanish sculptor Alonso Berruguete (c. 1488–1561). Originally scheduled to open in March after having been on show in Washington, the exhibition had to be postponed when the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered museums last Spring, and now will be on view through 10 January 2021.

Over the course of his career, which included a period in Italy under the influence of Michelangelo among others, Berruguete emerged as sixteenth-century Spain’s most innovative artist. His work was grounded in the traditions of his native Spain and refined by exposure to the height of the Italian Renaissance; through his natural talent for anatomical precision, dynamic movement, and psychological insight, he revolutionized Spanish art.

While he is known today primarily as a sculptor, during his lifetime Berruguete was widely respected for his work across a variety of media. This exhibition demonstrates the breadth of Berruguete’s practice, displaying six drawings (nearly half of all drawings confidently attributed to him), three paintings (including rare paintings from his Italian period), and twenty-four sculptures, including some of the best examples from the retablo for the church of San Benito in Valladolid, which is widely considered the artist’s magnum opus. A video will also be presented, which brings to life his works in Spain that cannot travel, such as those in the Toledo cathedral. An introductory gallery featuring works by his father—an accomplished painter in his own right—and other Spanish artists of the era will provide a view of the artistic landscape in which Berruguete operated. In the Dallas venue, curated by the Meadows Museum’s Mellon Curatorial Fellow, Wendy Sepponen, this will also include selected works from the Meadows’s permanent collection that will put the artist into dialogue with his Spanish contemporaries.

In tandem with Berruguete’s work, the Meadows is also presenting an exhibition of photographs—originally from the Archivo Mas and now in the holdings of the museum—that provide the rare opportunity to see some of Berruguete’s larger commissions in their original locations. Berruguete Through the Lens: Photographs from a Barcelona Archive includes 31 black-and-white images from the early twentieth century. Used solely for study purposes since their acquisition in 2003, this is the first time selections from the archive have been exhibited publicly.

A fully illustrated catalogue accompanying the exhibition has been sponsored by the Center for Spain in America and the Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica. The volume, winner of the Eleanor Tufts Book Award 2020, is the second one devoted to the artist by these two institutions, that have already published Son of the Laocoön. Alonso Berruguete and Pagan Antiquity.

The Eleanor Tufts Book Award was established in 1992 by the American Society for Hispanic Art Historical Studies and recognizes an outstanding English-language book in the area of Spanish or Portuguese art history.

The committee, composed by Jessica Weiss (Metropolitan State University of Denver), Orlando Hernández-Ying (Lone Star College Cy-Fair) and Graciela Kartofel (independent scholar), has honored Alonso Berruguete: First Sculptor of Renaissance Spain by C. D. Dickerson III and Mark McDonald with Manuel Arias Martínez, Daphne Barbour, Jonathan Brown, Richard L. Kagan, Wendy Sepponen and Julia M. Vázquez.

According to the committee, “this important book makes a significant contribution to the study of Alonso Berruguete, and by extension to the understanding of the rippling effects of the Italian Renaissance in sixteenth-century Iberia. In this catalog to the first exhibition devoted to Berruguete’s art held outside of Spain, Dickerson, McDonald, and the volume’s contributors rethink Berruguete’s relationship with sculpture, both as a medium and as an artistic practice. Through the nuanced assessment of Berruguete’s artistic production, the authors investigate Berruguete’s connection to Italian art and to the historically ignored local Castilian artistic tradition. Although organized biographically, the book places Berruguete within a richly nuanced cultural context that intersects with sixteenth-century notions of status and wealth, the role of drawing and print culture, and his legacy as an artist. The text particularly embodies the award criteria of brilliance of insight and clarity of expression; the high quality of the book’s production including a multitude of details, allows for the careful assessment of Berruguete’s sculptures, drawings, and altarpieces.”

Sorolla in America: Friends and Patrons, jointly published by the CSA with the collaboration of the CEEH, was also granted The Eleanor Tufts Book Award in 2017.

Alonso Berruguete: First Sculptor of Renaissance Spain is jointly published by National Gallery of Art, Meadows Museum, SMU, CSA, CEEH and Yale University Press.

The National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C, presents Berruguete. First Sculptor of Renaissance Spain (13 October – 17 February 2020), the first major exhibition held outside Spain to celebrate the art of the most important sculptor active on the Iberian Peninsula during the first half of the 16th century. Although unfamiliar to most Americans, and rarely featured in traditional accounts of Renaissance art, Berruguete has been revered as an icon in Spain for centuries. About 45 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper drawn mostly from international collections will be on view, the centerpiece of the exhibition being a selection of his best sculptures—all carved in wood and painted and gilded—from the retablo mayor (high altarpiece) of San Benito el Real in Valladolid, Spain, now in the collection of the city’s Museo Nacional de Escultura. One section of the enormous altarpiece is loosely reconstructed in the exhibition to give visitors some idea of how the sculptures were originally installed. An accompanying film showcases those works by Berruguete that cannot travel, such as his alabaster group of the Transfiguration of Christ that crowns the choir of Toledo cathedral.

The accompanying catalogue has been underwritten by the Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica and the Center for Spain in America, and co-published by these entities with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and the Meadows Museum, SMU, Dallas, second venue of this exhibition, curated by C. D. Dickerson III and Mark McDonald and organized in collaboration with the Museo Nacional de Escultura, Valladolid.

A biblical text inspired Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664) to create in the 1640s one of his most important and monumental series: Jacob and His Twelve Sons. Coinciding with Zurbarán’s artistic maturity, he had a workshop in Seville producing works destined for the Spanish territories in the Americas. In fact, the Jacob series is clearly related to the New World, since at least two copies reside in the cities of Puebla (Mexico) and Lima (Peru). This connection may help us to understand the realization of a series such as this, which remains a rare subject in Christian iconography.

If the series itself is extraordinary because of its quality and rarity, its provenance is also of great interest. Although it is believed that these works were destined for the Americas, there is evidence that they were in England in the eighteenth century. They have been housed at Auckland Castle since 1756, the year they were purchased at auction in London by Richard Trevor, the fifty-fourth Bishop of Durham. Trevor ran out of funds before being able to purchase Benjamin, so he had a copy made by British artist Arthur Pond (1705-1798) in order to have the entire group represented at his residence. The original Benjamin has remained in a private collection ever since, but it will join its “brothers” in a historic reunion for this exhibition.

This exhibition marks the first time these precious holdings will be presented in America and Israel, and only the second time in history that they leave Auckland Castle. After its presentation at the Meadows Museum the works will be featured at The Frick Collection in New York and at The Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the last venue for this exhibition, co-organized by the Meadows Museum, SMU, The Frick Collection and Auckland Castle, in association with the Kimbell Art Museum. The exhibition catalogue has been underwritten by the Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica and the Center for Spain in America.

The committee, composed by Adam Jasienski (Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University), Niria Leyva-Gutiérrez (Long Island University Post) and Jordana Mendelson (New York University), unanimously chose to honor Sorolla in America: Friends and Patrons, with the Eleanor Tuft Award 2017, that recognizes an outstanding English-language book in the area of Spanish or Portuguese art history.

This volume, jointly published by the Meadows Museum, the CSA and the Fundación Museo Sorolla, excelled in the award categories of “thoroughness of research,” “significance of findings,” and “clarity of expression.” According to the committee, “the scholarly rigor and attention to detail that characterize this book, and the logic with which the individual essays are organized, make the publication an exemplum of what a museum-based academic publication can and should do. Furthermore, the high quality of the book’s production ensures that, for years to come, it will remain a touchstone for scholarship on Sorolla, the transatlantic visual culture of the turn of the twentieth century, and the history of collecting writ large”.

Sorolla in America was edited by José Luis Colomer, Blanca Pons-Sorolla, and Mark A. Roglán.

At the IAS, Fabien Montcher will be finishing a book, tentatively entitled Scholarship and the Making of Politics in Early Modern Empires: The Iberian Routes of the Republic of Letters. This work explores the ways in which early modern scholarship contributed to the foundations of modern state politics between the Late Renaissance and the Enlightenment.

As a historian who works on the social history of ideas–a specialty that builds on political theory, intellectual history, the history of intercultural relations, libraries, paperwork and information–Fabien brings together the history of the Iberian Empires, both Spanish and Portuguese, and the history of the Republic of Letters by examining the interconnected configurations of global communities of knowledge along with early modern state information systems.
