Lantmanna Party () was a political party in Sweden during the late 19th century, essentially a faction in the parliament which existed from 1867 to 1912 (though split in two 1888–1895). |
The Lantmanna Party was founded in 1867, following the representation reform of 1866 which had replaced the old Riksdag of the Estates with the modern Riksdag, assembled for the first time in early 1867. |
It was represented in the second chamber ("Andra kammaren") of the parliament, which was directly elected. |
The party originally did not have any clear political ideology but claimed to represent farmers and ordinary people, although it was never a real agrarian party. |
Many of its first members had been members of the last Estate of Peasants in the old Riksdag of the Estates while one of the informal leaders at the start was Count Arvid Posse. |
The party was also supported by the main Swedish newspaper at the time, "Dagens Nyheter". |
Posse went on to become Prime Minister of Sweden from 1880 to 1883. |
In 1888 the party was split in two parties over the issue on free trade contra protectionism; the free trade advocates founded the "Old Lantmanna Party" and the protectionists founded the "New Lantmanna Party". |
In 1895 the two parties reunited under its old name. |
Erik Gustaf Boström of the Lantmanna Party (New Lantmanna Party during the split) was able to form a cabinet twice, as prime minister in 1891–1900 and again in 1902–1905. |
By the turn of the century 1900, the party had evolved in an ideologically conservative way, much due to opposition against the liberals and the emerging social democrats. |
While the party had its base in the parliament and was formed solely by elected members of it, there was no organisation for election campaigns until 1904, when the Lantmanna Party formed the Allmänna valmansförbundet (General Elector Coalition) together with other right-wing fractions in the parliament. |
In 1912 the Lantmanna Party merged with another of the right-wing fractions of the parliament, the National Progress Party, to form the new (), which came to be known as the ('right-wing faction of the second chamber'). |
This and the eventually evolved into the present Moderate Party. |

Museo di Capodimonte is an art museum located in the Palace of Capodimonte, a grand Bourbon palazzo in Naples, Italy designed by Giovanni Antonio Medrano. |
The museum is the prime repository of Neapolitan painting and decorative art, with several important works from other Italian schools of painting, and some important ancient Roman sculptures. |
It is one of the largest museums in Italy. |
The museum was inaugurated in 1957. |
History. |
The vast collection at the museum traces its origins back to 1738. |
During that year King Charles VII of Naples and Sicily (later Charles III, king of Spain) decided to build a hunting lodge on the Capodimonte hill, but then decided that he would instead build a grand palace, partly because his existing residence, the Palace of Portici, was too small to accommodate his court, and partly because he needed somewhere to house the fabulous Farnese Collection which he had inherited from his mother, Elisabetta Farnese, last descendant of the sovereign ducal family of Parma. |
Over the years, the palace was enlarged and filled with more art. |
In 1787, on the advice of Jacob Philipp Hackert, a laboratory for the restoration of paintings was created. |
When the Parthenopaean Republic was declared in 1799, King Ferdinand IV fled to Palermo on board Nelson's "Vanguard", taking the most valuable items from the museum with him. |
What remained was looted by the French troops of General Jean Étienne Championnet who were billeted there during the short life of the Republic in 1799. |
Later on, during the nine years of French reoccupation (1806 to 1815), the art collection was transferred to the Naples National Archaeological Museum. |
When King Ferdinand returned from Sicily in 1815, he employed many painters and sculptors to work on the redecoration of the palace. |
It was finally completed in 1840, and a gallery housing contemporary art was added. |
After the palace passed in 1861 to the House of Savoy, further pieces were added to the art collections, appointing Domenico Morelli as consultant for new acquisitions. |
They also added an extensive collection of historic firearms and other weapons. |
In 1866, the "boudoir" of Maria Amalia of Saxony was transferred to Capodimonte from the Palace of Portici, and in 1877 a Roman era marble floor was brought in from a Roman villa on Capri. |
After the end of the monarchy, the palace became purely a national museum in 1950, with many of the exhibits being returned from the National Museum. |
Collection. |
The first and second floors house the Galleria Nazionale (National Gallery), with paintings from the 13th to the 18th centuries including major works by Caravaggio, Raphael, Titian, El Greco, Giovanni Bellini, Simone Martini, Masaccio, Lorenzo Lotto, Giorgio Vasari, Jacob Philipp Hackert and many others. |
The museum is by far the best place to see paintings of the Neapolitan School, often under-appreciated by the wider world, with large holdings of Jusepe de Ribera, Luca Giordano, the Neapolitan Caravaggisti and many others (see List of works in the Galleria Nazionale di Capodimonte). |
Much of the ground floor is taken up by part of the magnificent Farnese collection of classical, mostly Roman, monumental sculpture, which survives here and in the Naples National Archaeological Museum largely intact. |
Elsewhere in the palace, the royal apartments are furnished with antique 18th-century furniture and a collection of porcelain and majolica from the various royal residences In 2022, art dealer Lia Rumma donated more than 70 works made by 30 prominent Italian artists – including Vincenzo Agnetti, Giovanni Anselmo, Enrico Castellani, Luciano Fabro, and Michelangelo Pistoletto, and others – to the Italian government, to be displayed in the Museo di Capodimonte. |
Mia Celeste Dyson (born 1981) is an Australian singer, songwriter and guitarist. |
She has released six studio albums. |
Her second, "Parking Lots", won the ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2005. |
Since 2013, Dyson has concurrently released music under the name Dyson, Stringer & Cloher with Liz Stringer and Jen Cloher. |
Life and career. 1981–2002: Early life. |
Mia Dyson was born in 1981 in a mud brick home built by her parents near Daylesford. |
Her father, Jim Dyson, is a blues guitarist and luthier. |
The family moved to Torquay when she was eight. |
For secondary schooling she attended Matthew Flinders Girls High School, Geelong. |
When queried by "The Sydney Morning Herald"s reporter on how she went from a settled family life, in the Victorian beachside resort town of Torquay to playing and singing blues and roots music, Dyson responded: "I don't know either, it's a testament to the power of music and how that whole childhood of being played what I consider incredible music seeped into my bloodstream. |
My parents were always playing the records of Little Feat, Bob Dylan, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Neil Young, everything. |
Torquay is devoid of any artistic pursuits and had I only had that culture I'm sure I would not be playing music. |
I might have had more luck with the alcohol if I'd been left to the surfing culture."<br><br> "I went through my early teenage Nirvana, Pearl Jam obsessions and then I came back to the roots of this stuff and picked up the guitar. |
And I knew how to play these songs that I'd never learnt because I'd heard them so many times as a kid." |
She described her father's hand made guitars: "I guess now people are impressed how lucky I am to have a dad who makes such beautiful instruments," Dyson says. |
But as a child she was unaware of their potential. |
"It was only, 'Oh, don't they look beautiful' when he finished one," she says. |
"It was only around 16, 17, when I was able to think about the sounds and the different sounds I could get out of the guitars, the amps and pedals, that I got excited." |
Dyson played her first gig at a party in Modewarre and followed with shows at the Barwon Club and at the National Hotel in Geelong. |
She then relocated to Melbourne, where her first residency, in November 2000, was at the Dan O'Connell Hotel, Fitzroy with her backing band comprising Dean Addison on bass guitar and Carl Pannuzzo on drums. 2003–2006: "Cold Water" and "Parking Lots". |
Dyson released her first album, "Cold Water", in May 2003 via Black Door Records and distributed by Shock Records. |
It was produced by Dyson with Lloyd Barratt – her audio engineer and sometime domestic partner. |
For the album she provided lead vocals, guitars (acoustic, baritone, electric, lap steel) and piano. |
Her backing band were Daniel Farrugia on drums and Lucas Taranto on bass guitar. |
"The Age"s Patrick Donovan opined, "[she] blew audiences away with her powerfully emotive voice and dynamic guitar playing on her debut album "Cold Water". |
But the songwriting was a little one-dimensional." |
She supported the album by touring both Australia and internationally: East Coast Blues & Roots Music Festival, West Coast Blues & Roots Festival, Falls Festival, Womadelaide, NXNE (Canada) and Edinburgh Festival (Scotland). |
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2003 it was nominated for the ARIA Award for Best Blues and Roots Album. |
Dyson released her second album, "Parking Lots", in April 2005. |
She produced the album with recording partly occurring in a back yard shed at her grandfather's home in Moonee Ponds. |
Nick Launay mixed the album and studio musicians included Renée Geyer and Matt Walker. |
"The Sydney Morning Herald"s reporter described her sound as "strongly into soulful rock, folk and country." |
Donovan reflected, "she demonstrates the maturity to let her voice and playing soar. |
Dyson puts her newfound maturity down to experience and confidence gained from two years on the road, playing everywhere from women's prisons to three months overseas as a solo artist." |
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2005 she won Best Blues and Roots Album and was nominated for the ARIA Award for Best Female Artist. |
In 2006, Dyson toured the United States and Canada, she performed with Frank Zappa's band, The Mothers of Invention, on stage at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, and supported Ani Di Franco in New York's Central Park. |
In August of that year she was invited by Deborah Conway to take part in the Broad Festival project, with three other Australian female artists, they performed their own and each other's songs. |
With Dyson and Conway were Melinda Schneider, Kate Miller-Heidke and Ella Hooper. |
They toured the mainland state and territory capital cities. 2007–2013: "The Signal" and "The Moment". |
In 2007 Dyson supported Eric Clapton during his Australian tour in February to sell out crowds. |
She also had a guest appearance on Australian hip hop artist Urthboy's second album, "The Signal". |
For her third album, "Struck Down", Dyson used Angus Diggs (Jeff Lang, Monkeyboy) on drums and James Haselwood on bass guitar. |
She co-produced it with Barratt. |
"The Signal" was released in August 2007 and it peaked at No. 74 on the ARIA Albums Chart. |
Em of "Soulshine" observed, "The result is a superb album with Mia's classic husky roots sound, this time featuring a defining rhythm. |
Mia has evolved not only as a musician, but as a songwriter too, drawing inspiration from just about everything around her, and this album is sure to please old fans and convert new ones." |
The artist followed with a tour from September to November. |
In 2009 Dyson relocated to Boston to try to break into the American music scene. |
She toured continuously, playing clubs and festivals across the country and in 2010, moved to Los Angeles. |
She briefly worked with Dave Stewart (ex-Eurythmics), she felt, "Dave is sort of an eccentric genius character, but we didn't have the same ideas and weren't really on the same page so it wasn't ever going to work, I think." |
They recorded a track together, "You and Me", which was part of an extended play released in the US in April 2011. |
Dyson opened for Stevie Nicks at the Santa Barbara bowl and Lake Tahoe in late 2010 and then opened for Chris Isaak on his national tour. |
Dyson worked on her fourth studio album "The Moment" from late 2011. |
It was produced by Erin 'Syd' Sidney and Patrick Cupples, and was recorded in Ojai, California. |
A promotional track from the album, "Tell Me", was released in April 2012. |
