Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century portraits from the Italian peninsula that depict women with keyboard instruments have been discussed as an apparent trend by feminist art historians and musicologists. While the connection between these portraits and the well-known iconography of the musical St. Cecilia has been noted, the association between keyboard instruments and the female body has been less frequently explored. In this study, I use methodologies from feminist theory and gender studies, most notably gender performativity, in order to explore how an artist's dialogue between the portrait subject and her instrument creates and is created by complex relationships ingrained by the dominant patriarchal structures that circumscribed women's lives at the time. To realize these interpretive goals, I have chosen two paintings that are less often discussed in art historical and musicological literature: the self-portrait attributed to Marietta Robusti, and St. Cecilia Playing the Keyboard in the style of Artemisia Gentileschi.

The subject of this work is the documentation, evaluation, and interpretation of Prague's architectural monuments from the 16th century from the point of view of musical iconography - focusing on the musical elements within the decoration of the palace of Jáchym Novohradský of Kolovrat.

The pictures are part of the Inah Emil Martensen's Collection. The name of the collection is a tribute to one of the most distinguished persons of the cultural scene in Rio Grande at the 19th century. We will explain more about her relevance in this study. According to oral reports, we can infer that Inah Emil Martensen was a very important and activeperson in the artistic and cultural life of Rio Grande. Inah Emil Martensen acted as artist, influent woman, teacher, manager and event promoter. It was becauseof her relevance for the community that the Municipal Center of Culture was named after her, it is now called Municipal Center of Culture Inah Emil Martensen. In addition of a brief incursion into the universe of this emblematic figure in the history of Rio Grande, this research will examine more specifically the pictures of the 26 artists who were likely exhibiting in this municipality between 1940 and 1950. The photographs made this collection, once unknown,recognized and prominent among the community and the researchers. This study is about the subject of reading historical photographs, discussing documents as memory support and, consequently, as source of research / A pesquisa aqui apresentada diz respeito às questões de análise e leitura de imagens fotográficas de um grupo de 26 artistas pertencente à Fototeca Municipal Ricardo Giovannini na cidade do Rio Grande-RS, inseridas na coleção intitulada Inah Emil Martensen, em homenagem a uma das figuras mais representativas da cultura riograndina no século XIX que será abordada em segundo plano em nosso trabalho.

The thesis about Prague as the leading musical center of the Czech Kingdom is generally accepted in musicological discourse. Likewise, the key role of professional Prague writing workshops in spreading monophonic singing is not questioned. In the distribution of vocal polyphony are many uncertainties. The only known workshop that also created primarily polyphonic manuscripts is the New Town workshop of Jan Kantor Starý († 1582). The number of other surviving manuscripts indicates that there were more such workshops in Prague at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. The object of the master thesis is therefore to reveal another possible workshop based on detailed paleographic and codicological research of a selected group of polyphonic sources, which demonstrably contain common writing hands.
