wunderAmanda Wunder, assistant professor of history at Lehman College (CUNY) and of art history at the CUNY Graduate Center, will present a lecture entitled “The Rise and Fall of the Spanish Farthingale: Women’s Fashions and Politics in Seventeenth-Century Spain” on Thursday, February 27, at 4:10 pm in 203 Cohen Hall on the Peabody campus.

Her completed book manuscript, Worldly Glory: Artists, Aristocrats, and the Creation of Golden-Age Seville, explores artistic and social transformations in Spain’s Atlantic port city from 1503 to 1717. Her current book project, The Spanish Style: The Politics of Extreme Fashion in an Age of Empire, 1492-1700, focuses on textiles, tailoring, and the meaning of clothes in Imperial Spain.
