This thesis examines pieces of visual art that are untraced, stolen or otherwise understood as lost. It conceptualises how this alters artworks. Are they still ‘objects' in ‘visual' culture? Might they become literature? Lost works continue to be circulated and interpreted through practices of remembrance, narrative and often through visual reproductions. These become extraordinarily overdetermined once a work vanishes. I investigate this process in four critical case studies and a novella. The first study looks at Vanessa Bell's painting The Nursery (1930-32), a major work which has been critically neglected because unavailable. I ask what this can tell us about memory and nostalgia, and explore the ghostliness of visual representations. The second study examines Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa in the period after it was stolen (1911-13). I closely read some startling journalistic responses to this and to earlier, Victorian thefts. Through these writings there emerges a new kind of ekphrasis and a new conception of the museum. My third study builds on these readings of visual and literary restitutions to consider how lost art could inspire a corresponding critical methodology. With reference to writings on aesthetics by Burke and Derrida, I look at William Blake's Virgil woodcuts, reading them through their missing parts, including chopped-off edges. The fourth study explores how lost works can be restituted creatively as well as critically. I analyse missing episodes of Doctor Who, which have inspired reconstructions from fans – an active audience of lost art. Finally, my novella tells the story of a curator of an illicit museum; it uses the epistolary form, which has a history of creating drama through lost letters. My conclusion suggests how, using evidence to feel for what cannot be seen, a focus on lost art can spark unique ways of thinking about vision, writing and criticism.

A presente tese se propõe a fazer uma leitura mais acurada do manuscrito - Da Fabrica que falece a cidade de Lisboa (1571), de autoria do arquiteto iluminador Francisco de Holanda, inédito até meados do século XIX, quando foi descoberto pelo conde Athanasius Raczynski (1788-1874), na Biblioteca de Jesus em Lisboa, resgatando o artista-teórico do anonimato para ser devidamente reconhecido pela historiografia da arte e da arquitetura, como figura central para a compreensão dos novos valores estéticos propostos em Portugal no século XVI. Esta pesquisa enfoca particularmente a relação entre arquitetura e cidade presente no manuscrito que reúne, nas -lembranças, uma série de imagens destinadas a conferir um perfil monumental a Lisboa, cidade capital do reino e modelo para as principais colônias portuguesas. Nosso novo olhar sobre Da Fabrica que falece procura verificar a hipótese de que o manuscrito deva ser interpretado como um memorial de arquitetura aplicado à cidade, onde o arquiteto elabora imagens retóricas para promover a Renovatio urbis de Lisboa. Como - Rainha de um vasto império português a capital deveria ser transformada à imagem da magnificência da Roma Antiga e imperial, um topos que já vinha sendo reiterado nas principais cortes italianas entre os séculos XV e XVI e que nas palavras de Holanda assume um tom muito particular. Os ensaios destacam a importância assumida por Holanda, enquanto arquiteto conselheiro régio, que interpreta as aspirações artísticas e políticas conflitantes da corte de D. João III (1521-1557) e D. Sebastião (1568-1578). E em função das experiências vivenciadas na Itália, sobretudo em Roma, Florença e Veneza, através de levantamentos, do estudo da Antiguidade, da arquitetura Imperial e do contato mantido com artistas italianos ele propõe a renovação da cidade capital decalcada no modelo antigo. Nossa pesquisa começa com apresentação do manuscrito original (1571) e, na seqüência, sua primeira edição por Luiz Joaquim dos Santos Marrocos (1814), feita a pedido do Príncipe Regente D. João VI, no Rio de Janeiro, com anotações e comentários. A seguir o trabalho recolhe elementos destacando Francisco de Holanda, homem da corte, das letras e da arte no século XVI; Francisco de Holanda e Da Fábrica que falece a cidade de Lisboa um programa para a Renovatio urbis. / This thesis proposes an accurate reading of the manuscript - Da Fabrica que falece à cidade de Lisboa (1571), authored by illuminator architect Francisco de Holanda, unpublished until the mid-nineteenth century, when it was discovered by count Athanasius Raczynski (1788-1874), in the Library of Jesus in Lisbon, redeeming the artist-theoretical from the anonymity to be properly by the historiography of the art and of the architecture, as central figure for e understanding of the new aesthetic values proposed in Portugal in the 16th century . This survey focuses particularly on the relationship between architecture and city in the manuscript that brings together, in the \"memories\", a series of images to give a monumental profile to Lisbon, the capital city of the Kingdom and template for the main Portuguese colonies. Our new vision on Da Fabrica checks the hypothesis that the manuscript should be interpreted as a memorial of architecture applied to the city, wherein the architect prepares rhetorical images to promote the Renovatio urbis of Lisbon. As - Queen of a vast Empire Portuguese capital should be transformed to the image of the magnificence of ancient Rome and imperial, a topus that had already been reiterated in the main Italian courts between the 15th and 16th centuries and which in the words of Holanda takes a tone very particular. The tests highlight the role played by Holanda, while architect-regal Councilor, which interprets the artistic and politic aspirations conflicting of court of D. João III and D.Sebastião. And in light of experiences experienced in Italy, especially in Rome, Florence and Venice, through surveys, the study of antiquity, Imperial architecture and the contact maintained with Italian artists he proposes the renewal of the capital city inspired on the old template. Our research begins with the presentation of the original manuscript (1571) and, in the sequence, its first edition by Luiz Joaquim dos Santos Marrocos (1814), done at the request of the Regent prince D. João VI, with annotations and comments. The following work collects elements highlighting Francisco de Holanda, courtly, letter and art man Francisco de Holanda and Da Fabrica que falece à cidade de Lisboa, a program to the Renovatio urbis of Lisbon.

Esquisser le portrait de la commaunauté des peintres lyonnais, entre le début du règne de Louis XI (1461) et la crise de la fin des années 1520, a constitué le présupposé de cette recherche. Le recours aux sources (comptables, fiscales et ecclésiastiques) s’est révélé indispensable à l’étude prosopographique et à une démarche d’histoire sociale de l’art, permettant la localisation des peintres, de leurs ateliers, les quelques filiations, leur place enfin (fortune et position sociale) dans la cité. Mais au-delà de cette première approche, l’étude des commanditaires, personnages capitals de la production artistique, a permis de définir plus finement le visage de la pratique picturale lyonnaise. Entre notables, Consulat, ecclésiastiques et rois, les activités de commande dans la ville ont souligné l’absence de grands chantiers et de grandes commandes dans ces décennies de prospérité croissante. Ce sont donc les fêtes, au premier rang desquelles les entrées royales et solennelles, qui mobilisent les forces économiques, littéraires et évidemment artistiques. L’étude des protagonistes de ces cérémonies royales et urbaines comme des thèmes déployés permet de caractériser de façon plus précise l’articulation entre artistes, commanditaires et cité comme d’approfondir la connaissance sur la pratique des peintres, en effet mieux détaillée dans ce cadre. / To sketch the portrait of the painters’ community of Lyon, between the beginning of the reign of Louis XI (1461) and the crisis of the end of 1520s, was the presupposition of this research. The appeal to sources (accounts, taxes and from ecclesiastic origin) showed itself essential to the study of painters and to the approach of social history of the art, allowing the location of them, their workshops, the some filiations, their place finally (fortune and social position) in the city. But beyond this first approach, the study of the patrons, major characters of the artistic production, allowed to define more finely the face of the pictorial practice of Lyon. Between notables, consuls, Consulate, clerics and kings, the activities of command in the city underlined the absence of big construction sites and big orders in these decades of increasing prosperity. They are thus the festivals, in the front row of which the royal and solemn entries, which mobilize the economic, literary and obviously artistic strengths. The study of the protagonists of these royal and urban ceremonies as spread themes allows to characterize in a more precise way the articulation between artists, patrons and city as to deepen the knowledge on the practice of the painters, indeed better known by this way.

���In this thesis, I use modern concepts of feminism, gender performativity, and psychoanalysis as a means to understand female characters and authors of Renaissance England in a new way. In my first article, I analyze various texts and performances of Queen Elizabeth I, as well as texts of Renaissance female authors who are now slowly entering our modern canon ��� notably, Aemilia Lanyer. The second article is a feminist investigation of Britomart from Spenser's The Faerie Queene. In both pieces, I argue that these women (historical and fictional) broaden the definition of queer, and ultimately of feminism, as a whole. The goal of this thesis is to utilize published and visual records of early modern women writers and fictional characters, and apply a theoretical lens to such texts, in order to analyze these texts in a multi-faceted, contemporary fashion and to establish new modes of thought within the discourse of gender performativity, feminisms and psychoanalytical theory. / Graduation date: 2013
