An exploration of forgery and drawing that focuses on a twentieth-century practitioner, his art education, motivation and methodology, this critical article was inspired by a meeting that took place in a village near Rome during the autumn of 1976 between the author and Eric Hebborn (1934‐96). Written some forty years later, this article has two goals; first to contribute to the debate that now circles the role of drawing within the contemporary fine art curriculum and then to question the nature of the biographical information Ruskin suggested was embedded in artists drawings. Hebborn, a skilful draftsman and award-winning alumnus of the Royal Academy Schools and British School at Rome is unusual in that he left no significant trace of himself as a contemporary artist. Using his memoire Drawn to Trouble, a once misattributed drawing The Lamentation of the Three Mary’s and my recollections of the meeting, as entry points. This article portrays Hebborn as a victim of his art education, who in the final analysis was neither a fine artist nor copyist but instead an art school trained illusionist who openly admited to creating a modus operandi that was designed to trick experts into uttering false instruments.

The rapid rise of Manchester as Liverpool’s commercial rival produced an industrial and commercial elite determined to forge a community based on cultural achievement as well as economic endeavour. This chapter explores the cultural plans to reshape Manchester and the role of the Royal Manchester Institution in providing a focal point for the leading figures in the Manchester art world. In doing so it explores how art was used to position Manchester as a major British city and an alternative source of patronage and power to both Liverpool and London. Public exhibitions may not have been commercially successful but they offered a challenge to the dominance of the Royal Academy and a platform for a new generation of emerging northern artists.

This chapter investigates how Irish medical schools from the mid-nineteenth century attempted to inculcate students with the ideals of the profession and reform the reputation of the rowdy medical student in order to help improve the status of the profession. Utilising lecturers’ introductory addresses, contemporary medical journals and doctors’ memoirs, it illustrates the role of lecturers in enforcing decorum, shaping the image and identity of students and encouraging traits such as gentility. The chapter explores what was considered to be a ‘good’ medical student in the period, assessing the role of medical schools in shaping respectable gentlemen who were most likely Protestant and middle-class in the nineteenth century and Catholic and middle-class in the twentieth century. Representations of medical students in the Irish press are also examined. This chapter shows how such representations changed over the period, examining the importance of class, religious affiliation and the appropriate traits that students were expected to possess.

The article discusses various aspects of cultural research from the point of view of academies. More specifically it aims at outlining the history of The Royal Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities in Stockholm, which was officially responsible for the cultural heritage of Sweden until the 1970s. Since then it has become an independent learned society for the humanities and social sciences, but it still takes a great interest in ancient monuments and the protection of culturally precious milieus.

During the mid-eighteenth century two museum institutions the British Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts were established, the former by Parliament, the latter by artists under the patronage of the Crown. In their origins and their early development they illustrate and help shape ideas relating to the growth of the notion of Britishness and English national identity. They were the theatres in which ideas about the kind of political nation Britain imagined itself to be were played out between loyalists (supporters of a reformed monarchy) and Whigs (mistrustful of the crown and jealous of the hard won rights of Parliament). Their foundation is all the more extraordinary because they developed at a time when the arts were not generally understood to be  a matter for the state in Britain and when some powerful politicians regarded national sponsorship and support of the arts with great suspicion.This paper seeks to re-examine the origins of these two key national cultural institutions. It considers their political significance and suggests that this has been somewhat downplayed by those who focus on their development within cultural historical contexts. While not dismissing the importance of the international and national cultural arenas in which these institutions were imagined and forged, particularly the role of the Enlightenment, the paper suggests that they can only be fully understood within the context of a nation still exploring and developing a constitutional monarchical system of government and its need to present a form of Britishness to its citizens and its neighbours.

AbstractThis article examines the protracted negotiations between the castrato Francesco Bernardi, known as ‘Senesino’, and the Royal Academy of Music, documented in five letters sent by the singer to diplomat Giuseppe Riva between 1717 and 1720. They reveal a tight network of singers, patrons and agents, and highlight how Senesino negotiated not only for a role of primo uomo in the cast, but also for a role of artistic influence in London. This episode in Senesino’s career together with examples of ‘unofficial’ directorial practice and ‘hidden’ artistic influence of singers such as Nicola Grimaldi (‘Nicolini’), Antonio Bernacchi and Luigi Marchesi suggest a yet stronger presence of singers, especially castrati, in the economy of eighteenth-century opera than has been hitherto recognised.

Chapter 4 explores what students studied at Irish medical schools from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century, a period when medical curriculum underwent a series of reforms. Furthermore, the chapter examines the importance of educational tools such as medical museums, laboratories and specimens in the context of students’ educational experiences and whether the role of science in medical curricula was affected by the differing philosophies of Irish universities. The transition from the lecture theatre to the hospital ward appears to have been a turning point in the educational experiences of many Irish doctors. Drawing primarily on doctors’ memoirs, student magazines and the surviving records of Irish hospitals relating to clinical education, this chapter illuminates this important facet of medical student experience and how it helped to shape professional identity. This chapter examines the type of hospital experience received by Irish students in addition to assessing the regional differences that existed. Religious persuasion also impacted on students’ choice of hospital, well into the twentieth century. Medical student societies were also an important educational agent for students. These societies helped to groom students into respectable future practitioners and instilled them with the ideals and values of the profession.
