A Baroque Archbishop in colonial Australia: James Goold (1812-1886)

该项目旨在研究墨尔本第一位天主教大主教James gold（1812-1886）的文化愿景，他的建筑赞助改变了墨尔本。作为在意大利接受教育的爱尔兰人，戈尔德是一位热情的收藏家和传教主教。他进口了一座图书馆和意大利晚期巴洛克绘画，以传达欧洲宗教体验的强烈程度。当戈尔德被任命为墨尔本市长时，墨尔本还是一个省城，但黄金的发现和圣帕特里克大教堂的启用使墨尔本成为一个国际大都市。该项目将检查戈尔德的收藏，并通过展览和会议交流结果。这项研究可能会改变我们对殖民时期澳大利亚叙事的理解。

This project aims to investigate the cultural vision of the first Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, James Goold (1812-1886), whose architectural patronage changed Melbourne. An Irishman educated in Italy, Goold was a passionate collector and missionary bishop. He imported a library and late Italian Baroque paintings to convey the intensity of European religious experience. When Goold was appointed to Melbourne, it was a provincial town, but the discovery of gold and the commissioning of St Patrick's Cathedral made Melbourne an international metropolis. The project will examine Goold’s collection and communicate the results through an exhibition and conference. The research may change our understanding of the narratives of Colonial Australia.
