Trinity College Art History Professor Receives National Endowment for the Humanities Research Grant

 

"HARTFORD, Conn., May 9, 2006—Kristin Triff, assistant professor of fine arts at Trinity College, has received a $5,000 National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) summer stipend to complete documentation and research for her book manuscript, Patronage and Public Image in Renaissance Rome: The Orsini Palace at Monte Giordano.

 

Triff’s NEH grant will be used to fund a final period of archival and graphic documentation for the first monographic study of Monte Giordano, a massive 750 year-old building complex in the center of Rome. One of Rome’s most historically significant yet least-studied structures, Monte Giordano’s architectural transformation during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries reflects the profound social, artistic, and architectural changes that took place in Rome during this period. Throughout the later Middle Ages, Monte Giordano was primarily known as the Roman stronghold of the Orsini, Rome’s most powerful feudal family during this period. Recent archival and archaeological discoveries document its transformation into Rome’s first Renaissance palace during the early 15th century, and it was extensively praised for its architectural and artistic decoration by many Renaissance writers. Her study examines Monte Giordano in the contexts of social, artistic, and architectural history, and suggests that the palace’s evolution during the Renaissance reflects the rise and fall of the Orsini family and the gradual decline of Rome’s ancient feudal nobility.

Kristin Triff teaches art and architectural history at Trinity College in the Department of Fine Arts and in Trinity’s Cities Program, focusing on the city of Rome and the intersection of social history and palace design in the Renaissance and Baroque periods. She earned a master’s in architecture from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in the history of art and architecture from Brown University. She has practiced architecture and urban planning in the Boston area, and taught architectural design at the university level. Among her grants and awards, she most recently received a Cesare Barbieri Endowment Research Grant and a Faculty Research Grant from Trinity College. Triff has published articles in English and Italian on architectural sites including the Orsini family palaces at Monte Giordano and Pompey’s Theater, the Arsenale in Venice, the Sforza family palace in Milan, and the cathedral at Venzone. In addition to her in-progress manuscript on the Orsini palace at Monte Giordano, she is also collaborating on an archaeological and architectural history of Pompey’s Theater with James Packer of Northwestern University.

Since its inception in 1965, the National Endowment for the Humanities has become the largest funder of humanities programs in the United States. As an independent grant-making agency of the United States government, it is dedicated to supporting research, education, preservation, and public programs in the humanities."
