Brun, Sophie >> The tapestries of la Chaise-Dieu: a study of iconography and historical context; advisor: Prof. Dr. Fabienne Joubert The famous tapestries of la Chaise-Dieu (Curch of Saint-Robert) depict episodes of Jesus and Mary’s life along with scenes from the Old Testament. The commissioner was Jacques de Saint-Nectaire, abbot of the Benedictine institution between 1491 and 1518. As he was a generous patron, he is known as the “artist-abbot”. E. Mâle has identified woodcuts from the Biblia pauperum and the Speculum humanae salvationis as the main iconographic sources, yet in all the set has been neglected by scholars. The research aims to analyse how and why the engravings, and other references, have been used to create the series. First, the iconographic structure shows how the commissioner selected and organized the evangelical episodes and their typological pendants from the Biblia pauperum and the Speculum. His choices informs us about the theological priorities and the complexity of the Christian message he wanted to transmit to his monks. Secondly, each of the 75 woven compositions testifies to the forced adaptations due to the significant enlargement of their patterns. The stylistic analysis of the tapestries offers evidence leading to the origins of the designer of the set. This analysis prompts a vital question: did he or Jacques de Saint-Nectaire choose the Biblia pauperum as an inspiration?

Karafel, Lorraine >> Mythology and Metamorphoses: Woven Grotesques for the Vatican Palace. Advisors: Professor Colin Eisler and Dr. Thomas P. Campbell. This study reconstructs the now-lost tapestry set, known in the early seventeenth century as the 'Grotesques of Leo X', that the Raphael School created for Pope Leo X in about 1518. The set's innovative design, with imaginative grotesques and mythological scenes, its provocative iconography, and the circumstances of its production are considered within the context of papal patronage and the complex cultural and political currents of the time.

>> Doctoral paper: Et in arcadia ludo: the games of shepherds and shepherdesses in tapestry and illuminated manuscripts 1450-1550 (University College London, 2001). This concerns bergerie scenes on so-called ‘millefleur’ tapestries in relation to illuminated manuscripts and literature in the late medieval period. >> PhD Dissertation: Jacques and Claudine Stella’s Pastorales and Jeux et plaisirs de l’enfance: the Production and Use of Printed Design (University College London, 2006). A chapter of the thesis deals with the use of scenes from Stella’s ‘Pastorales’ for a tenture produced at Aubusson in the period 1668-1720. It well known that a dance hanging (commonly called ‘Le Branle’) made at Aubusson used Stella’s print but I have gathered new information on many other subjects also taken from Stella’s ‘Pastorales’.
Niekrasz, Carmen >> Flemish Tapestry and Natural History at the Jagiellon and Borromeo Courts, 1550-1600. Advisor: Prof. Claudia Swan.

Paredes, Cecilia >> Ph.D. dissertation (March, 2005): Vertumne et Pomone. Une fable et son décor dans quatre tentures tissées d’or. L’étude porte sur quatre ensembles de tapisseries que se partagent actuellement le Kunsthistorisches Museum à Vienne, la Fondation Gulbenkian à Lisbonne et les collections du Patrimonio National à Madrid. Chaque série illustre la fable de Vertumne et Pomone issue des Métamorphoses d’Ovide dans un somptueux théâtre de pierre et de verdure. Tissées à Bruxelles vers 1545, les tapisseries racontent en neuf épisodes les transformations de Vertumne, le dieu des saisons, en vue d’approcher et de séduire Pomone, déesse des vergers. A travers l’exploration des composantes historiques, formelles et iconographiques des ensembles tissées, la thèse aborde l’art de tapisserie comme une forme d’expression qu’il s’agit de situer dans l’histoire artistique et culturelle des Pays-Bas méridionaux à l’aube de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle.
