skemono submitted to medievalpoc: I’ve been wanting to submit this one for a while, because I loves me some Goya, and I personally find it a bit more interesting when there’s an artist I recognize on here. In 1796, José María Álvarez de Toledo y Gonzaga passed away. His wife, María Cayetana de Silva, retreated to her estate in Sanlúcar, Andalucia, and Goya went with her. He stayed there for a year or two, and his art of the time captured several domestic moments in the estate. The two images above include María de la Luz, a young black girl who lived with the duchess. I can find very little information about María. Most sources say that the Duchess, who had no children of her own, adopted her (one even gives the year of adoption as 1795). However, some simply say that María lived in the household, or that the Duchess took her under her wing, or had “virtually adopted” her. I believe she was born in Havana in 1793, the daughter of a slave woman, and according to one source the duchess emancipated her (María, not her mother). When the duchess wrote her will, she included María, along with several servants and Goya’s son, Javier. And that’s about all I can find. First image: Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, La duquesa de Alba teniendo en sus brazos a María de la Luz (“The Duchess of Alba holding María de la Luz”), 1796-1797. Sanlúcar Album / Album A. India ink wash. Second image: Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, La Beata con Luis de Berganza y María de la Luz, 1795. Oil painting. [X] [X] [X] [X]

barbotrobot submitted to medievalpoc: FRAGRANT CONCUBINE ALERT!!! From the link: Chinese Government Tries to Quell Unrest with an Animated Princess Uighers are an ethnic minority in western China, largely Muslim, who have been protesting the Chinese government for its discriminatory policies against them over the past several years. Now the Chinese government hopes to appease the protesters with a bizarre princess story. Historically, China has been ruled by the dominant Han ethnicity. But in the country’s western regions, there are many Islamic groups with a different ethnic heritage — their ancestors likely came from various parts of the middle east over 1500 years ago, and they have been uneasily assimilated into Chinese society ever since. In the early twentieth century, Soviet leaders dubbed these many different groups “Uighurs,” naming them after a vanished tribal society that once aided the Chinese in quelling the deadly rebellion of the short-lived Yan Empire during the middle ages. Writing in the New York Times, Edward Wong explains the backstory of how the animated tale of Princess Fragrant came to be made: Now there is 10-year-old Princess Fragrant, with her girlish braids, embroidered red dress and flowing silk head scarf. She is the Han vision of a Disney princess transplanted to Xinjiang. Animators in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen are creating a 104-episode cartoon series loosely based on a historical Qing Dynasty imperial consort, the Fragrant Concubine, a Uighur woman who is shrouded in myth. Working under contract with the government of the oasis city of Kashgar, the site of occasional violent episodes, these animators have said their aim is to paint a portrait of ethnic harmony and paper over bloody conflicts in Xinjiang. The plot of the series, which is expected to be broadcast in 15-minute-long episodes over two seasons, follows the adventures of Princess Fragrant, her brother and their ethnic Han and Kazakh friends as they travel across Xinjiang to rescue the princess’s father from the clutches of a greedy Western explorer.

MBA student Akarsh Avunoori took this photo of business administration major Maria Fernanda Galvan, MBA student Alexandra Krikhtenko, and economics major John Regan.
It all started on this, his 50th Birthday Eve. A slice of Sawmill pizza pie and a stroll along the boardwalk on an usually cool August evening. A perfect beginning of a short, but much needed, four day vacation with the plans of celebration marking his half century of life.
It ended with a middle of night trip to the emergency room, a diagnosis of a twisted small intestine and four day hospital stay including but not limited to IV and a steady stream of purging all contents of my stomach.
Who knew what was to lay ahead. Ain’t life grand!!
