SUMMARY:The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt\, a Lecture by Aidan Dodson
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Aidan Dodson\, University of Bristol: \n“The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt”\nSunday April 28\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Time\nRoom 20\, Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley\nThis in-person lecture will be recorded for later publication on YouTube. \nAbout the Lecture: \nFor a few decades during the 8th to 7th centuries BC\, there was a remarkable reversal of the age-old imperial domination of Nubia by Egypt. In the wake of the fragmentation of the Egyptian state during the 8th century\, the Kushite state that had evolved in Nubia since Egyptian withdrawal at the beginning of the 11th century expanded northwards\, ultimately absorbing the south of Egypt\, including Thebes itself. Having established themselves as overlords of the various regional rulers in Egypt\, the Nubian pharaohs led a national revival in Egypt\, until an Assyrian onslaught drove them back into Nubia\, where their composite of Egyptian and Nubian culture would survive into the 4th century AD. \nAbout the Speaker: \nAidan Mark Dodson is an English Egyptologist and historian. He has been honorary professor of Egyptology at the University of Bristol since August 1\, 2018. Born in London on September 11\, 1962\, he studied at Langley Grammar School (1975–81)\, before moving to Collingwood College\, Durham (1981-2). He completed a BA at the University of Liverpool (1985)\, and an MPhil (1986\, museum practice and archaeology) and PhD (1995\, Egyptology) at Christ’s College\, Cambridge. He began teaching at the University of Bristol in October 1996\, also holding the post of Simpson Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo from January to July 2013. Dodson was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2003. His primary research interests concern Ancient Egypt\, including dynastic history and chronology\, tomb architecture\, sarcophagus and coffin design\, canopic equipment\, and the history of Egyptology; he is also a historian of late 19th and early 20th century navies\, and has written on the royal tombs of Great Britain. He is the author of some 27 books and 400 articles and reviews. His latest book\, The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt: Their Lives and Afterlives\, was published by the American University in Cairo Press at the end of 2023. \n—————- \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:San Francisco Lecture by Tom Hardwick: Uses\, Re-uses\, and Abuses of Egyptian Statues
DESCRIPTION:April 13\, 2024 at 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM \nUses\, Re-uses\, and Abuses of Egyptian Statues\nGunn Theater | Legion of Honor + Live Stream\nPresented by Tom Hardwick Consulting Curator of Egyptology\, Houston Museum of Natural Science \nAdmission:\nLecture is free and open to the public. It is also a hybrid program. \nIN PERSON: Gunn Theater\, 100 – 34th Avenue\, Lincoln Park\, San Francisco\, CA 94121. Seating is limited and unassigned. Doors open at 1:30 pm.\nLIVE STREAM: Please register here to receive a webinar link: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lJ1-plmLQVi5pqRy16oceA . \nEgyptian statues epitomize solidity and permanence for the modern viewers who admire them securely guarded in museums or tourist sites. To their pharaonic makers and owners\, however\, they were functional objects with specific duties to fulfil. Rather than being blindly revered as artworks\, they were often re-used for new purposes when their old functions lapsed. These re-uses could include physical transformation. This lecture covers over three thousand years to show how subsequent generations have used and abused Egyptian artworks. \nCosponsored by the Ancient Art Council of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco\nand the American Research Center in Egypt-Northern California.

SUMMARY:Imhotep: The Man\, the Myth\, the Monster
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Julia Troche\, Missouri State University\, Springfield: \n“Imhotep: The Man\, the Myth\, the Monster” \nSunday March 17\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Time\nRoom 140\, Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley\nThis in-person lecture will be recorded for later publication on YouTube. \nAbout the Lecture: \n“It comes to life!” is the tagline for the 1932 Universal film The Mummy wherein a reanimated Imhotep\, as the mummy horror icon\, brings terror and violence to all who encounter him. Imhotep\, in fact\, was a historical ancient Egyptian who is credited with engineering Egypt’s first pyramid\, the stepped pyramid at Saqqara for King Djoser (c. 2650 BCE). In antiquity he was venerated as a folk hero and eventually worshiped as a god. How and why did Imhotep become a horror icon? The answer is what we refer to as “Egyptomania\,” that is\, our obsession with and consumption of ancient Egypt throughout history. This talk invites audiences to follow Imhotep and his many legacies throughout history as a way to explore Egyptomania. But it is not all fun and amusement park rides\, as we consider some of the benefits and problems of Egyptomania in our everyday lives. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Julia Troche is an Egyptologist\, historian\, and award-winning educator. She holds a Ph.D. in Egyptology from Brown University and a B.A. in History from UCLA. Dr. Troche is currently Associate Professor at Missouri State University in Springfield\, MO\, and Visiting Scholar of Egyptology at Brown for her sabbatical (2023-24). She serves as a Governor for the Board of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE)\, is President and co-founder of ARCE-Missouri\, and for the American Society of Overseas Research (ASOR)\, she is co-chair of the diversity\, equity\, and inclusion committee and co-chair of the Archaeology of Egypt sessions for the annual meeting. Her first book\, Death\, Power\, and Apotheosis in Ancient Egypt: The Old and Middle Kingdoms was published in 2021 with Cornell University Press. She is currently working on a book about the god Ptah for Bloomsbury\, a textbook (with B. Brinkman) for Routledge\, and a series of articles on Egyptomania and Imhotep that she hopes to turn into a public-facing book. \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, http://www.arce-nc.org\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:Body Ornaments and Communities of Practice in the Egyptian Predynastic
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures invite you to attend a lecture by Maryan Ragheb\, UCLA: \nBody Ornaments and Communities of Practice in the Egyptian Predynastic\nSunday\, February 11\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Time\nRoom 20\, Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley\nThis lecture will not be recorded. \nAbout the Lecture: \nOur bodies and body images are manufactured through one’s treatment of their body surface: Through clothing\, jewelry\, hairstyles\, makeup\, or tattooing\, we create and recreate certain images that can be readable to others. These body accessories and modifications are not only to reflect identities\, but also to be utilized as tools by the wearers to enact their social roles\, which are prescribed and promoted by society. Body ornamentation is thus important for affirming social cohesion and shared ideologies of identities both in life and death. In Predynastic Egypt\, body ornamentation of the deceased was practiced to varying degrees. This talk discusses the shared community practices in the making and use of Predynastic body ornaments to adorn the deceased’s body. Through a microscopic study of beaded ornaments\, their manufacturing processes\, and wear marks\, I can reconstruct the technical and social processes that were invested in their making\, and by extension\, the making of the deceased’s image at the time of the funeral. \nAbout the Speaker: \nMaryan Ragheb is a PhD candidate in Archaeology at UCLA\, with a special focus on ancient Egyptian archaeology. Her dissertation research is concerned with identity expression pre and post state formation in ancient Egypt\, through the study of body ornamentation. Her research interests include identity expressions of different minority groups and the cultural entanglement between different ethnicities within Egypt. In addition to archaeological work in Egypt and Ethiopia\, she is interested in community outreach and preservation of cultural heritage initiatives. As such\, she is currently involved in the Waystation initiative and the voluntary return of cultural objects to China\, while building a skillset in cultural heritage laws in the USA\, and in provenance research. \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, http://www.arce-nc.org\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:Recent Work at Memphis and the Fayum: An Overview of Methodologies and Results
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures invite you to attend a Zoom lecture by Raghda (Didi) El-Behaedi\, University of Chicago: \n“Recent Work at Memphis and the Fayum: An Overview of Methodologies and Results” \nSunday\, January 21\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Time \nZoom Lecture. This meeting will not be recorded. A registration link will be automatically sent to ARCE-NC members. Non-members may request a registration link by sending email with your name and email address to arcencZoom@gmail.com. Non-members\, please send any registration requests no later than Friday\, January 19. Registrations are limited to 100\, so the sooner you register\, the better. \nAbout the Lecture: \nThis lecture will present an overview of two cases studies\, Memphis and the Fayum\, to illustrate different methodologies of site exploration in Egypt. Memphis\, the first capital of unified Egypt and one of the ancient world’s most recognizable cities\, continues to be an enigma in the present day. Located at the confluence of Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt\, Memphis’ strategic placement evoked the symbolic and geographic union of a once fragmented country. Despite its profound historical significance over more than 3\,000 years\, very little is known about the city itself. This is especially true for the area of Kom el-Fakhry\, which houses the oldest in-situ remains found at Memphis so far. A preview of the results from the 2023 excavation season conducted at Kom el-Fakhry will be presented. \nThe Fayum\, a natural depression located 100 km southwest of Cairo\, is bounded by the Sahara Desert except for in the east\, where a branch of the Nile River once fed its massive freshwater lake\, Lake Moeris. For thousands of years\, anthropic activity in the form of settlements\, religious centers\, harbors\, and quarry sites continued in the Fayum\, along the very shores of Lake Moeris. However\, starting in the Holocene epoch\, changing environmental and climatic conditions caused fluctuations of floodwaters from the Nile\, which in turn caused drastic instabilities in the lake’s water level. The present work attempts to understand how the ancient Egyptians adapted to the shrinking lake from the Neolithic to Ptolemaic period\, using cutting-edge satellite remote sensing\, GIS\, and geophysical techniques. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDidi El-Behaedi is an Egyptian Archaeology PhD candidate at the University of Chicago and a National Geographic Explorer. Her research interests include understanding ancient Egyptian settlement patterns and ancient landscapes through the lens of remote sensing\, GIS\, and 3D modeling. Didi is the co-director of the Memphis-Kom el-Fakhry Archaeological Project (MKAP) and has conducted archaeological fieldwork at several other sites in Egypt\, including Tell Edfu\, Deir el-Bahri\, Asasif\, and Hermopolis. She has also previously served as a research consultant at NASA Langley Research Center and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, http://www.arce-nc.org\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:Contexts and Circumstances in Designing the Divine in Ancient Egypt
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Jennifer Miyuki Babcock\, Pratt Institute: \n“Contexts and Circumstances in Designing the Divine in Ancient Egypt” \nSunday\, December 10\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\, UC Berkeley \nThis lecture will be recorded. \nAbout the Lecture: \nHow do we decide what a god looks like? Some ancient Egyptian texts describe the gods generally\, and others are more precise. Yet a divinity’s true\, underlying form is unknown. Nonetheless\, depictions of deities on monumental and small-scale artworks are seen throughout ancient Egyptian history. \nIn this talk\, we will look at some basic\, common forms that ancient Egyptian gods adopt\, and uncover the reasons behind these design choices. We will not only consider how the images illustrate a god’s specific divine power\, but also how their representation may be determined by the context and placement of the god’s image. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nDr. Jennifer Miyuki Babcock is Assistant Professor and Coordinator for the History of Art and Design at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture\, Education\, and Human Development\, and at the Fashion Institute of Technology\, SUNY. Before teaching\, Dr. Babcock was a Postdoctoral Curatorial Associate at The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at NYU\, and has held research and fellowship positions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, The Museum of Fine Arts Boston\, and the Brooklyn Museum. She earned her Ph.D. at the Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU. \nAmong Dr. Babock’s extensive list of publications is the book Animal Fables in Ancient Egypt: Tree Climbing Hippos and Ennobled Mice (Brill 2022)\, which examines how drawings of anthropomorphized animals are linked to oral folklore and the religious environment of New Kingdom Thebes.  Her interests include the cross-cultural and temporal transmission of artistic iconography in the ancient world\, and studying cultural parallels between ancient and modern and contemporary lives. \n————— \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:The Qeheq Papyrus: A Bridge Between Egyptology and Berberology
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Jason Silvestri\, UC Berkeley: \n“The Qeheq Papyrus: A Bridge Between Egyptology and Berberology” \nSunday\, November 5\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nNote: Daylight Savings Time ends at 2 AM\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nAmong the ancient documents in the collection of the Museo Egizio in Turin\, there is a papyrus\, thought to be from Deir el-Medina\, which records a set of magical spells for the protection against snakes written in an Egyptian script but in the hitherto unidentified language of the Qeheq people. The Qeheq are an infrequently attested North African ethnic group of the late 2nd millennium BCE\, often associated with other\, more well-known ancient “Libyan” groups like the Libu and the Meshwesh. The language recorded on the papyrus exhibits strong similarities to proto-Berber as reconstructed by linguists using data from the modern Amazigh (or Berber) languages\, indigenous to North Africa and still spoken today by an estimated 30-to-40 million people from the Atlantic in the west to the Siwa Oasis in Egypt in the east\, from the Mediterranean in the north to the Niger River in the south. As the papyrus records what is likely to be the earliest textually-attested Amazigh language\, and does so using the Egyptian hieratic script\, it stands as a unique document\, serving as a bridge between two related but often separated academic fields–Egyptology and Berberology/Amazigh Studies. When held in light of other Egyptian textual and onomastic material attesting so-called “Libyan” groups from the 1st millennium BCE\, the language of the Qeheq can contribute toward a clearer understanding of the geographic and temporal extent of ancient Amazigh languages and their speakers’ interactions with neighboring cultural groups\, like the Egyptians. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nJason Silvestri is a PhD candidate in the field of Egyptian Archaeology in the department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures at UC Berkeley. His dissertation research focuses on the social and administrative history of the Libyan Period in Egypt (Dynasties 21 through 24) and examines numerous social phenomena that are particularly emblematic of that period\, such as the formation and use of diaspora identities and ethnic code-switching\, political identity formation\, factional conflict\, regional identity politicization\, personal piety\, and archaism. Through his interest in Ancient Libyan cultural and linguistic identities\, Jason began studying the modern Amazigh (or Berber) languages\, the indigenous languages of North Africa\, west of the Nile. He founded and coordinated an online language education program through the Center for Language and Culture in Marrakesh\, Morocco\, which operated for several semesters from 2020 through 2022 dedicated to the teaching of Tashelhiyt\, an Amazigh language spoken in Southern Morocco. In addition to his philological work on Egyptian and Amazigh material\, Jason also is a trained archaeologist and has worked on several projects across the Mediterranean\, including in Egypt\, Greece\, and Italy; he is currently starting a project that aims to address a large and mostly unpublished corpus of Third Intermediate Period and Saite Period Egyptian objects excavated from Iron Age indigenous contexts in Southern Italy. \n————————— \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:Preparing for Eternity: Funerary Models & Wall Scenes from the Old and Middle Kingdoms
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Georgia Barker\, Macquarie University/CSU San Bernardino: \nPreparing for Eternity: Funerary Models & Wall Scenes from the Old and Middle Kingdoms \nSunday\, September 10\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nDuring the late Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom\, there were two principal types of artistic representation in the ancient Egyptian elite tomb: funerary models and wall scenes. The two media exhibit several similarities in design\, with both depicting people and animals engaged in activities of everyday life. This has caused scholars to regularly label funerary models duplicates or substitutes of wall scenes\, implying that they served the same purpose in the tomb. However\, there are several notable differences yet to be acknowledged. This lecture presents the results of a detailed comparative analysis of the two artistic media\, focusing on representations from the sites of Meir\, Deir el-Bersha and Beni Hassan in Middle Egypt. It will highlight the distinguishing characteristics of each medium and propose that funerary models should be understood as a distinct type of representation that was specifically conceived to provision the deceased for eternity. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nDr. Georgia Barker is the W. Benson Harer Egyptology Scholar in Residence at California State University\, San Bernardino\, for Fall 2023. Before joining CSUSB\, she completed a Doctor of Philosophy and a postdoctoral research fellowship at Macquarie University in Sydney\, Australia. Her research investigates the purpose and historical significance of funerary art from the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. She has worked extensively with museum collections\, including the Macquarie University History Museum and Sydney Living Museums in Australia as well as being a member of the British Museum’s Circulating Artefacts Project and an intern at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She is also a member of the Australian Centre for Egyptology’s expeditions at Meir and Beni Hassan. \n————– \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:New Perspectives on the African Empire of Kush: Excavation at Jebel Barkal
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Near Eastern Studies Department\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Geoff Emberling\, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology\, Univ. of Michigan: \n“New Perspectives on the African Empire of Kush: Excavation at Jebel Barkal” \nSunday\, May 7\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nKush was the dominant political power in the Middle Nile region of northern Sudan for over 2000 years (ca. 2000 BCE – 300 CE). Our understanding of this extensive ancient empire has long been constrained by the long legacy of focus on monumental remains (palaces\, temples\, pyramids) at the expense of investigation of settlements that would broaden our understanding of Kushite economy and social identities. \nA joint project of the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums of Sudan and the University of Michigan has begun work on a newly discovered area of settlement at Jebel Barkal (ancient Napata)\, one of the major cities of Kush (and a UNESCO World Heritage site). This talk will present the results of our first seasons of work on Meroitic levels of settlement at the site\, contemporary with the Roman occupation of Egypt (1st century BCE – 1st century CE). \nAbout the Lecturer: \nDr. Geoff Emberling is an archaeologist and museum curator who has worked extensively on ancient cultures of North Africa and the Middle East. His research has focused on identities\, urbanism and empires in Mesopotamia and in Nubia. He has directed projects in northern Sudan over the past 15 years and his team is just beginning its work at Jebel Barkal\, the “pure mountain” of the ancient Egyptians and capital city of ancient Kush. \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:The Hidden Treasures of Elephantine Island
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Near Eastern Studies Department\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Prof. Dr. Verena Lepper\, National Museums\, Berlin: \n“The Hidden Treasures of Elephantine Island” \nSunday\, April 16\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time \nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nAbout the Lecture: \nElephantine was a militarily and strategically very important island on the river Nile at the southern border of Egypt. No other settlement in Egypt is so well attested through texts over such a long period of time\, 4000 years. Its inhabitants form a multi-ethnic\, multicultural and multi-religious community that left us vast amounts of written sources detailing their everyday lives from the Old Kingdom to beyond the Arab Conquest. Today\, several thousand papyri and other manuscripts from Elephantine are scattered in more than 60 institutions in 24 different countries across Europe and beyond. Their texts are written in ten different languages and scripts\, including Hieroglyphs\, Hieratic\, Demotic\, Aramaic\, Greek\, Coptic and Arabic. 80% of these manuscripts were unpublished or unstudied before. \nThus\, access was gained to these texts\, making them publicly available in an open access online research database. Links could be identified between papyrus fragments from different collections\, and an international ‘papyrus puzzle’ undertaken\, incorporating cutting-edge methods from digital humanities\, physics and mathematics (e.g. for the virtual unfolding of papyri). For the first time in the history of papyrology\, papyrus packages can now be read virtually\, without physically opening them. Using this database with medical\, religious\, legal\, administrative\, even literary texts\, the everyday life of the local and global (i.e. ‘glocal’) community of Elephantine can be studied. Elephantine can thus be used as a case study and a model for the past\, present and future. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nProf. Dr. Verena Lepper is the Curator of the Egyptian and Oriental Papyrus Collection of the Egyptian Museum\, National Museums Berlin (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation) and Honorary Professor at the Humboldt University Berlin. She is in charge of a collection with around 30\,000 objects in ten different languages and scripts and has managed several exhibition and research projects in Germany and abroad (Abu Dhabi\, Berlin\, Bonn\, Doha\, Harvard) with a team of employees.\nShe conducts research on topics such as Egyptian and Oriental papyri\, literary and cultural history\, and the history of science and art. To this end\, she has published numerous books and exhibition catalogues with international publishers.\nDr. Lepper studied Egyptology\, Semitic Philology\, Christian Orient Studies and Hebrew Bible at Bonn\, Cologne\, Tuebingen\, Oxford and Harvard University. She has received several awards for her scientific and curatorial work\, including the highly renowned ERC-Grant from the European Research Council for the project: “Elephantine”.\nTo promote Arab-German academic exchange\, she founded the Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA) in 2013. She is involved in numerous committees in the field of scientific and cultural policy and diplomacy. Visiting professorships and fellowships have also taken her to Harvard and Princeton University.\n——-\nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:Roman Egyptian Mummy Portraits and the Artistic Circle of the St. Louis Painter
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Near Eastern Studies Department\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Branko van Oppen\, Tampa Museum of Art: \nRoman Egyptian Mummy Portraits and the Artistic Circle of the St. Louis Painter \nSunday\, March 12\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Daylight Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\nUC Berkeley \nDaylight Savings Time Begins March 12. \nAbout the Lecture: \nIn his publications Mummy Portraits in the J. Paul Getty Museum (1982)\, David L. Thompson attributed three Roman Egyptian funerary portraits to the same artist\, whom he named the St. Louis Painter on the basis of a portrait of an elderly woman in the St. Louis Art Museum (SLAM inv. no. 128:1951; Thompson 1982\, pp. 20–22\, figs. 35–37). Without further information\, Thompson acknowledged that “a number of other portraits are related to those by the St. Louis Painter and some to each other by these differences\,” and dated the activity of the artist’s workshop to around 300 CE. Before and since\, several other scholars have recognized the stylistic similarities between about a dozen funerary portraits from ancient Philadelphia (confusingly still called “Rubayat”) with estimated dates ranging between 165-350 CE. \nThis paper will re-examine the attribution of the portrait panels to the St. Louis Painter (also known as the Würzburg Painter)\, and suggest that some two dozen examples can be assigned to this anonymous painter\, workshop or circle. Stylistic elements by which these paintings can be grouped together include a distinctively graphic hatching style. The portraits generally lack a sense of depth and perspective\, though some foreshortening is often indicated on the left side of the face. The basic outline is usually drawn with a broader brush\, while the individual details are applied with a thinner brush. The outline tends to follow basic physiognomic proportions that are not only common with other Roman Egyptian portraits\, but with Roman portraits from contexts such as the wall paintings of Pompeii and Herculaneum. \nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Branko F. van Oppen de Ruiter is the Richard E. Perry Curator of Greek & Roman Art at the Tampa Museum of Art. He received his PhD in ancient history from The City University of New York (’07)\, where he specialized in queenship during the period from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra. Before coming to Tampa\, van Oppen worked for five years at the Allard Pierson Museum\, Amsterdam. His academic interests further include clay seal impressions\, animals in ancient material culture\, Romano-Egyptian funerary portraits\, as well as ancient religion and art history in general. \n———————- \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.
