This dissertation offers a wide-ranging examination of the half-length sacred figure over the door in medieval and early Renaissance Italian art. Drawing on a wealth of visual material that has attracted little attention among scholars, it argues that such images played a vital role in the religious lives of their beholders, transforming doorways into sites of devotional experience both within and beyond the church. Depicted incompletely, the holy body joined with the threshold below it to form a synthetic, composite image, one that invited the imaginative and corporeal participation of the viewer. This project employs various lenses to interpret the meaning and function of works about which scant written documentation comes down to us. In addition to considering scriptural metaphor and exegetical thought regarding the significance of doors, it explores the relationship of overdoor frescoes, mosaics, and reliefs to sacred icon panels, suggesting that the former might be recognized as wall icons, possessive of a heightened devotional appeal. It also uses overdoor images to illuminate broader spiritual and artistic concerns, including the nature of passage to the Christian afterlife, and the interaction between picture and frame, a topic central to Renaissance illusionism. Serving as an introduction to an important yet overlooked aspect of Italian visual culture, this text provides a conceptual framework for understanding a vast corpus of images that were essential to everyday piety, and that inflect our view of familiar art historical narratives.

In this thesis, we consider stationary random mosaics with a focus on the Poisson-Voronoi mosaic and the Poisson-Delaunay mosaic. We consider properties of stationary random mosaics in R2, such as mean value results of the typical cell. Further, we simulate various mean value results of the typical cell, a random neighbor of the typical cell, and the zero cell for the Poisson-Voronoi mosaic in R2. Some theory of point processes is introduced that is needed for random mosaics, including Palm theory, marked point processes, and the Pois point process. Finally, we consider an incremental flip-based algorithm for generating the Voronoi mosaic.

Nessa direção, esse estudo teve como objetivo qualificar o estado de conservação de paisagens passadas e presente e cenários de expectativa dos grupos sociais por meio da interpretação da heterogeneidade estrutural e da valoração da paisagem. Essa proposta foi aplicada na Serra do Japi, uma área de florestas conservadas e legalmente protegidas do Estado de São Paulo, tendo como estudo de caso o loteamento Ermida, um empreendimento regularmente aprovado antes das medidas de proteção dessa área e que hoje enfrenta restrições para sua implantação. Foram utilizados Sistemas de Informação Geográfica e programas estatísticos para mapear o uso da terra, construir cenários, identificar fronteiras, criar mosaicos e valorar a paisagem por métricas de disponibilidade de recursos, permeabilidade e fragmentação. Os resultados mostraram que medidas de quantidade de floresta podem trazer decisões distintas daquelas que consideram a avaliação da heterogeneidade estrutural da paisagem por mosaicos, que se revelou mais eficaz na evidência de mudanças históricas e de interações e domínios de fronteiras. As métricas de valoração indicaram que o aumento da quantidade de habitat nem sempre representou um acréscimo na qualidade da paisagem. A via de acesso foi a ação antrópica de maior influência sobre as florestas. Seu efeito de borda foi de extensão variável de acordo com a vizinhança e com o indicador desse efeito na estrutura ou na composição da floresta. Esse estudo mostrou que as mudanças dos últimos 40 anos da Serra do Japi evoluíram em direção às expectativas de conservação em termos de quantidade, disponibilidade de recursos e permeabilidade da paisagem. Diferentemente do esperado, o cenário legal apresentou uma tendência de fragmentação da paisagem maior do que a situação atual. No caso do loteamento Ermida, os critérios adotados não mostraram uma perda substancial de florestas em área e a sua existência não impediu a continuidade do processo sucessional, bem como a conectividade da paisagem. Por outro lado, houve grande diminuição da disponibilidade de recurso ótimo, causada pela disposição das vias de acesso e pelo efeito de borda resultante. Por essa razão, entre as expectativas dos grupos sociais, a melhor alternativa para a conservação foi aquela que previu a otimização dos acessos. / Abstract: The proposal of strategies and valuation criteria for biological conservation based on structural elements of the landscape may help the process of environmental planning and decisionmaking. This study was aimed at assessing the quality of the conservation status of past and present landscapes and expectations of social groups scenarios based on the interpretation of the structural heterogeneity and the valuation of the landscape. This study was conducted in Serra do Japi, a preserved and legally protected area in São Paulo State. The case study was the Ermida residence property development, which was legally approved before the protective measures for the preservation of Serra do Japi, and that currently faces restrictions for its implementation. Geographic Information Systems and statistic software were used to: map land use, construct scenarios, identify borders, create mosaics and appraise the landscape based on resource availability, permeability, and fragmentation. The results revealed that measurements of the amount of forest may lead to decisions different from those based on the evaluation of the heterogeneity of landscape mosaics, which was more effective to show evidences of historical changes and interactions, and establishment of limits. The metrics of valuation indicated that the increase in the amount of habitat not always represented an increase in landscape quality. An access road was the anthropogenic component with the highest impact on forests. The extent of the edge effect varied depending on the neighborhood and on the indicator of this effect in the structure or composition of the forest. This study revealed that the changes in the last 40 years in Serra do Japi evolved toward conservation, regarding quantity, availability of resources and permeability of the landscape. Unlike the expected, the legal scenario presented a stronger tendency of fragmentation of the landscape than the current situation. In the case of the Ermida development area, the criteria used did not indicate a substantial loss of forests in the area and its existence did not prevent the continuity of the successional process, as well as the connectivity of the landscape. On the other hand, the availability of optimum resources greatly decreased, caused by the availability of access roads and by the resulting edge effect. Because of that, among the expectations of social groups, the best alternative for conservation was the one that predicted the optimization of road access. / Doutorado / Recursos Hidricos, Energeticos e Ambientais / Doutor em Engenharia Civil

The Master's thesis is focused on research of the Italian academic discourse from the years 1891-2008 dealing with the influence of the visual culture of Ravenna on Dante's Divine Comedy. One of the scholars that can be placed in the context of Italian discourse is the philologist and aesthetician Jaroslav Hruban, the only Czech scholar who occupied himself with the relationship between Dante and Ravenna and continuously followed up the development of the interwar Italian Dantology. The thesis puts forward two questions: how the scholars of the Italian academic discourse and Jaroslav Hruban reflect the relationship of Dante and Ravenna, and if we can trace the influence of the visual culture of Ravenna (especially of the mosaics from the 5th and 6th centuries) in the text of Dante's Divine Comedy. The questions are solved by application of the historiographic methods that were used to examine Italian Dantology, the methods of literary studies and art history by which analysis and comparison of the text and imagery were performed, and also the methods of visual culture that were used to reconstruct the image of Ravenna during the time of Dante's stay in the town and his "period eye". The scholars believe that the inspirational influences of the Ravenna mosaics and visual culture on Dante's Divine...

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between apotropaic decorations, here termed as apotropaic devices, and the architectural layout of an average Roman bathhouse. Moreover, to argue for the hypothesis that there was an apotropaic decorative program, i.e. an intentional plan for the placement of apotropaic devices within a Roman bathhouse. A sample of decorations are analysed, specifically 16 mosaics which constitute the main material, which is divided into three categories, namely, labyrinth, geometric/grid and Gorgon mosaics. Along with these there is supplementary material, namely, three freestanding sculptures (one hunchback and two herms) and two mosaics with inscriptions (One Greek and one Latin, both with a phallus symbol). The material is analysed with a modified phenomenological framework in mind, focusing on the experience which a bather might have had of the decoration itself and the room/space in which it was placed. Moreover, in order to argue for this hypothetical decorative program, this study constructs a hypothetical plan/map of an average Roman bathhouse based on the analysed material. The results gained from the analysis reveal patterns that seem to indicate a deeper intentionality than mere aesthetic appeal, and in turn these patterns seem to indicate, when viewed via our conceptual plan/map, some sort of apotropaic defence of Roman bathhouses. Thus, these results seem to lend credence to the hypothesis of an apotropaic decorative program. / Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka förhållandet mellan apotropeiska dekorationer, här kallade apotropeiska anordningar, och den arkitektoniska utformningen av ett genomsnittligt romerskt badhus. Vidare syftar studien till att argumentera för hypotesen att det fanns ett apotropaiskt dekorativt program, det vill säga en avsiktlig plan för placeringen av apotropeiska anordningar i ett romerskt badhus. Ett urval av dekorationer analyseras i studien, närmare bestämt 16 mosaiker som utgör huvudmaterialet, som är indelat i tre kategorier, nämligen labyrint, geometrisk/rutnät och Gorgon mosaik. Utöver dessa analyseras kompletterande material såsom tre fristående skulpturer (en puckelrygg och två hermer) och två mosaiker med inskriptioner (en grekisk och en latinsk, båda med fallossymbol). Materialet analyseras med en modifierad fenomenologisk ram i åtanke, med fokus på den upplevelse som en badgäst kan ha haft av själva utsmyckningen och rummet/utrymmet där den placerades. I syfte att argumentera för detta hypotetiska dekorativa program konstruerar denna studie en hypotetisk plan/karta över ett genomsnittligt romerskt badhus baserat på det analyserade materialet. Resultaten från analysen avslöjar mönster som tycks indikera en djupare intentionalitet än enbart estetiskt tilltalande. I sin tur verkar dessa mönster indikera, när de ses via studiens konceptuella plan/karta, något slags apotropeiskt försvar av romerska badhus. Således verkar dessa resultat ge trovärdighet åt hypotesen om ett apotropeiskt dekorativt program.
