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

该项目旨在调查墨尔本第一位天主教大主教詹姆斯·古尔德（1812-1886）的文化视野，他的建筑赞助改变了墨尔本。作为一个在意大利接受教育的爱尔兰人，古尔德是一个充满激情的收藏家和传教士主教。他引进了一个图书馆和晚期意大利巴洛克绘画，以传达欧洲宗教体验的强度。当古尔德被任命为墨尔本，这是一个省级城镇，但发现黄金和帕特里克大教堂的委托使墨尔本成为国际大都会。该项目将检查古尔德的收藏，并通过展览和会议传达结果。这项研究可能会改变我们对殖民地澳大利亚的理解。

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.
