DESCRIPTION:Please join guests for the inaugural Deen Day Sanders Porcelain
  and Decorative Arts Museum Lecture Series featuring Asen Kirin.\n\n“Wom
 en\, Power\, and Intellectual Pursuits: Catherine the Great’s Collection
  of Porcelain”\n\nCatherine the Great (reign 1762-1796) had major accomp
 lishments in the realm of government\, an environment entirely dominated b
 y men at the time. Women of power and great achievement often utilized the
  arts to affirm and perpetuate their positions in society and to control p
 ublic perception. In addition\, they continuously engaged in the realm of 
 domesticity\, which tradition had sanctioned as appropriate for them. Cath
 erine surpassed the supposed limitations of womanhood while simultaneously
  excelling in her feminine role as a homemaker\, the mother of all her peo
 ple.\n\nThe empress commissioned some of the most intricately decorated po
 rcelain dishes\, which challenged their creators both technologically and 
 artistically. For Catherine\, apart from displaying great style\, this col
 lection of porcelain was in essence an intellectual endeavor fueled by eru
 dition and infused with meanings stemming from the empress’s knowledge o
 f history\, religion\, literature\, and the arts. Ultimately\, Catherine
 ’s efforts left a positive impact on the society of eighteenth-century R
 ussia by promoting science\, an understanding of history\, a knowledge of 
 antiquity and a familiarity with the then-current and most advanced libera
 l political ideas.
