Luis Martín Lecture Series in the Humanities: “Feasting and Fasting in Early Modern Spain”
Jodi Campbell, Associate Professor, Department of History, Texas Christian University
Four Fridays: April 1, 8, 22 & 29, 2022
11 a.m.

Tripe and sweetbread, ginger and cinnamon, figs and pomegranates. Just as early modern Spaniards selected their clothing to project a particular image, so too did they dress their tables with carefully chosen ingredients and elaborate preparations. In the 16th and 17th centuries, food was far more than just sustenance: Spaniards used it to cure disease, solidify connections in the community, perform religious identity and enhance their social status. Different foods were suited to particular people and situations: radishes and cheese were good foods for students, and if one suffered from melancholy, cooked vegetables were a good cure. What one ate was also a moral choice, as a preference for fish was a sign of virtue, while too much indulgence in flesh and wine—as Murillo’s Prodigal Son seems to embrace at his feast—was a sign of wastefulness and gluttony. In exploring the kinds of foods early modern Spaniards ate, this series of lectures will illuminate how food was used for more than nourishment: to compete for social status, as a crucial expression of religious identity, and as a means to solidify connections between individuals and groups.

Meadows Museum Virtual Lecture: FURTHER AFIELD | Feminist Art History: Medieval to Museums
Jitske Jasperse, Professor, Humboldt University of Berlin
Tuesday, April 12, 2022
12 p.m.
Livestreaming on Zoom; advance registration required.
$5; free for museum members and 澳门六合彩预测 students, faculty and staff
Further Afield virtual talks provide broader social, political, economic and historical context for works of art at the museum. This spring Further Afield focuses on women as creators and patrons in Spain from medieval to modern times. In 1962, the art historian H.W. Janson banned women from his famous handbook The History of Art, writing them out of a broadly distributed text that influenced the art historical canon. Today, thanks to the many art historians and artists who have focused on women artists, we have a rich body of scholarship in feminist art history. This talk will focus on women artists—including Francisca Efigenia Meléndez y Durazzo, whose work is in the Meadows collection—and present key ideas within feminist art history. It will also address stunning medieval textiles at San Isidoro de Léon, Spain, demonstrating the multiple ways that medieval women were, in fact, makers of art. To register, visit .

Jessica Weiss, Associate Professor of Art History, Metropolitan State University of Denver
Tuesday, May 10, 2022
12 p.m.
Livestreaming on Zoom; advance registration required.
$5; free for museum members and 澳门六合彩预测 students, faculty and staff
Further Afield virtual talks provide broader social, political, economic and historical context for works of art at the museum. This spring Further Afield focuses on women as creators and patrons in Spain from medieval to modern times. Isabel of Castile (1451–1504) was an incredibly active patron and collector. In addition to her sponsorship of architectural projects, the Spanish queen also accumulated a large collection of paintings, tapestries, metalwork, illuminated manuscripts and other luxury goods. Like many other rulers, Isabel manipulated her personal collection into sumptuous displays visible to a wide audience that included both local courtiers and international diplomats. Because the goal of such spectacles was self-promotion, the study of the spaces and objects associated with Isabel reveals her political agenda and persuasive strategies. To register, visit .

Meadows Museum Exhibition: Murillo: Picturing the Prodigal Son
February 20 – June 12, 2022
10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tues.-Sat.; 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Thurs.; 1-5 p.m. Sun. Closed Mon.
Virginia Meadows Galleries – Meadows Museum, 5900 Bishop Blvd. on the 澳门六合彩预测 campus, Dallas (75205)
$12 for adults; $10 for seniors 65+; $4 for non-澳门六合彩预测 students; FREE for members, children under 12 and 澳门六合彩预测 faculty, staff and students; FREE Thurs. after 5 p.m.
During the 1660s, Sevillian artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682) set out to paint the biblical parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11–32). Many artists tackling this subject focus on the story’s conclusion—that is, the prodigal son’s return from squandering his inheritance to be welcomed by his father’s forgiveness rather than his wrath. Murillo’s depiction, however, draws out the drama into a narrative cycle of six large canvases. Remarkably intact as a group centuries after their production at the height of the artist’s career, and having recently undergone conservation that reveals the mastery of the artist’s technique, the series makes its U.S. debut at the Meadows Museum, marking a rare opportunity for American audiences to view an important painting series by Murillo in its entirety, as it was meant to be seen.

This spring the Meadows Museum launches the “Masterpiece in Residence” loan series, an exciting new loan program featuring singular masterpieces of Spanish art from American collections. The series offers a special, focused look at key works from the history of Spanish art, with each loan accompanied by a scholarly monograph featuring a single essay by a specialist in the field. The first painting in the series is Juan Sánchez Cotán's Still Life with Quince, Cabbage, Melon, and Cucumber (c. 1602) from the collection of the San Diego Museum of Art. The extraordinary work is among the earliest and best of its kind in the history of European art, the type of painting credited with defining a genre, and among the last paintings executed by the artist before he took monastic orders in 1603.

The Meadows Museum presents an exhibition of work by the Spanish conceptual artist Ignasi Aballí (b. 1958), the first artist selected as part of the MAS: Meadows/ARCO Artist Spotlight program. Established in 2019, MAS is a six-year partnership between the Meadows Museum and Fundación ARCO, the leading organization behind Spain’s premier contemporary art fair, ARCOmadrid. Aballí’s series Palabras Vacías (Empty Words) (2020) confronts the viewer with 27 individual, galvanized iron plates hung at eye level. Cut into the metal plates are words such as “INVISIBLE” and “ABANDONED”—and other adjectives that reference being invisible or forgotten—thereby imbuing the negative space with meaning; what he refers to (both literally and figuratively) as “empty words.” The resulting tension between the form and meaning of the words creates a dialogue between language and image, between signified and signifier.
