The School of Architecture is excited to welcome Francesco de Angelis from Columbia University to campus for a lecture titled, "Victory in the Making: Triumphal Arches on Roman State Reliefs." This talk will focus on ancient depictions of triumphal arches in the medium of sculptural relief. Several of these images represent the monuments in an abridged fashion, for example by diminishing or omitting key components of their figural decoration, including sculpted scenes. Therefore, especially if we try to understand the reliefs as evidence for ancient viewing habits, they appear paradoxically to downplay their own relevance as carriers of meaningful and semantically rich imagery. The talk will examine this seeming act of self-effacement and argue that, rather than a simple celebration of past deeds, Roman arches—and their decoration—were parts of a project that was perpetually in the making. Join us for this insightful discussion and learn how Roman relief sculptures represented monumental arches and their profound significance in ancient art and architecture. This event is open to all—don’t miss the opportunity to learn from an expert in the field! This lecture is co-sponsored by the School of Architecture, Department of Classics, Center for Italian Studies, and the Department of Art, Art History and Design.   Originally published at artdept.nd.edu.

Learning Beyond the Classics—Film Noir: Influences and InspirationsDirected by Emilio FernándezNinón Sevilla, Tito Junco, Rodolfo AcostaNot Rated, 90 minutes, DCPIn Spanish and French with English subtitlesRarely screened in the United States and long due for rediscovery, Victims of Sin is famed Mexican director Emilio Fernández's unique blend of film noir, melodrama, and musical. Acting/dancing sensation Ninón Sevilla plays Violeta, a cabaret performer who adopts the abandoned child of Rosa (Margarita Ceballos) and Rodolfo (Rodolfo Acosta), Violeta's murderous pimp. Motherhood forces Violeta to give up her career, but the kindhearted club owner Santiago (Tito Junco) saves her from a life of poverty and prostitution — until Rodolfo, freed from prison, seeks to reclaim his son. Best known for the award-winning María Candelaria (1944) and The Pearl (1947), Fernández infuses Victims with impassioned songs and performances by Sevilla, an icon of Mexican cinema and a purveyor of African, Caribbean, and Cuban dance styles. GET TICKETS *Free for ND, SMC, HC, and IUSB students.
