Art history major Daisy Adams was awarded the Louisa Moseley Fine Arts Prize by the Department of Art History for an outstanding art history senior thesis.  The title of her thesis was “A Flask from the Past: The Didactic Usage of the Tale of Psyche and Cupid in Renaissance Italy.”  It focused on a maiolica (tin-glazed earthenware) pilgrim flask from 16th century Italy by Francesco Xanto Avelli that contained a scene from the tale of Cupid and Psyche.  Daisy showed how visual representations of this tale functioned as directives to Italian women regarding their expected roles in marriage.
