Ireland Library invites you to enjoy a selection of holy cards left in Ireland Library books!
Visit our online exhibit of these cards: Holy Cards as Objets Trouves.
When discovered wedged into returned library books, most “found” holy cards, if harmless (bookmarks, scraps of paper, postcards, letters, receipts, etc.) are simply tossed into a box to be eventually disposed of, sometimes decades later. For long years library staff here at Ireland Library have set aside hundreds of holy cards (in a box of course).
Some are beautiful (handmade paper lace cards, art nouveau, art deco, Italian and German chromolithographs), some have local associations (ordinations, funerals, anniversaries), some are rather odd, many are touching. All have a wonderful immediacy and embody popular piety in the very best sense of the word.
Rafael Tarrago, librarian for Iberian and Ibero-American Studies at the University of Minnesota, will lecture today on the origins, development and contemporary implications of indigenous Andean religious art in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The presentation will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 12, in Room 108, the O’Shaughnessy Room, of O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library Center. A short reception will follow the lecture.
European artistic media and styles were introduced to the Andean region of South America during the 16th century. By the end of that century, the cities of Potosi and Cuzco had produced
accomplished artists in all the fine arts.
Like their European counterparts, Andean painters in the 17th century began incorporating regional landscapes and fauna in their depictions of traditional religious subjects (Jesus Christ, Mary and the saints), though some unique forms of representing the Virgin were beginning to appear in Potosi and Cuzco.
In the 18th century, Cuzco painters divorced themselves entirely from European models by accentuating symbolic design over naturalistic image. In religious paintings this development resulted in depictions of Jesus Christ, Mary and the saints that resemble paintings of sculptures rather than pictorial representations of reality. Tarrago will describe the origin, nature and contemporary implications of these developments with ample numbers of reproductions used as illustrations.
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Catholic Studies and the Art History Department.
