Historically, the first such technological transformation in the West took place five hundred years ago with the invention of moveable-type printing in Germany by Johann Gutenberg. This lecture covers the fascinating story of how the early Jesuit missionaries introduced the Gutenberg Press to “Warring States” Japan and ingeniously employed it as the first “high-tech” means of cultural and religious interaction with Japanese civilization.

The USF Ricci Institute and Center for the Pacific Rim Present a Public Lecture in Remembrance of Rev. Edward J. Malatesta, S.J. THE EMPEROR REJOICED WITH GREAT JOY: A CHRISTIAN ARTIFACT FROM 1342 HIDDEN IN A CHINESE PAINTING  Wednesday, March 5,
20035:15 PM - 6:30 PM, program; reception to follow USF Lone Mountain Campus, Room 100 Presented by Lauren Arnold, independent art historian and research fellow at the USF Ricci Institute; author of Princely Gifts and Papal Treasures: The Franciscan Mission to China and Its Influence on the Art of the West, 1250-1350. One of the most interesting vestiges of medieval missionary contact with Yuan China is the painting of The Heavenly Horse commemorating the presentation of a gift from Pope Benedict XII to the last Mongol emperor, Shundi. After being lost to the art world for 200 years, The Heavenly Horse was rediscovered in the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing during the writing of Princely Gifts and Papal Treasures. Since then, new research by the author has revealed a remarkable find: The Heavenly Horse has a companion painting in a major European museum. This companion scroll is not only mis-attributed, but it contains a hidden Christian artifact of considerable historic importance as well. Please join us for the first public presentation of this intriguing artifact, as Lauren Arnold re-introduces the two paintings together, explaining their significance vis-à-vis western Christian contact with China during the Yuan era. FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Reservations recommended; call the Ricci Institute, 415-422-6401. Co-sponsored by the endowed EDS-Stewart Chair at the Ricci Institute, Friends of Ricci, USF Visual and Performing Arts Department of the College of Arts and Sciences. |
