This monograph examines the most prestigious political paintings created in Britain during the High Baroque age. It investigates a period characterized by numerous social, political, and religious crises, in the years between the restoration of the Stuart monarchy (1660) and the death of the first British monarch from the House of Hanover (1727). On the basis of hitherto unpublished documents, the book elucidates the creation and reception of nine major commissions that involved the court, private aristocratic patrons, and/or civic institutions. The ground-breaking new interpretations of these works focus on strategies of conflict resolution, the creation of shared cultural memories, processes of cultural translation, the performative context of the murals and the interaction of painted images and architectural spaces.

As space conditions perception, the analysis of relationships between image and space is highly significant. The current popularity of immersive spaces proves the strong affective potential of space and forms part of a long art historical tradition, upon which this volume offers critical reflection. Building on the methodological considerations inspired by the "spatial turn" and the "pictorial turn," the authors bring together approaches from image and architectural studies to formulate a new image-space methodology. The ten case studies of profane and sacred image-space ensembles from different eras and cultures discuss the types and functions of such ensembles as well as their respective aesthetic strategies, the related reception mechanisms, and performative uses.

Da der Raum unsere Wahrnehmung konditioniert, besitzt die Analyse der Zusammenhänge von Bild und Raum hohe Relevanz. Die derzeitige Hochkonjunktur immersiver Räume belegt das starke affektive Potential des Raums und steht in einer langen kunsthistorischen Tradition, die dieser Band kritisch reflektiert. Aufbauend auf den von «spatial turn» und «pictorial turn» angeregten methodischen Überlegungen, führen die Autor:innen bild- und architekturwissenschaftliche Methoden im Sinne einer neuen Bild-Raum-Wissenschaft zusammen. In zehn Fallstudien zu profanen und sakralen Bild-Raum-Ensembles aus unterschiedlichen Epochen und Kulturräumen werden die Arten und Funktionen von Bild-Raum-Bezügen sowie die jeweiligen Wirkungsstrategien, Rezeptionsmechanismen und performativen Nutzungen diskutiert.

Einführung in Methoden der Analyse von Bild-Raum-Bezügen Exemplarische Interpretationen von Bild-Raum-Ensembles vom Mittelalter bis ins 21. Jahrhundert Untersuchung des Zusammenhangs von Raumkonzepten und Raumwahrnehmung

Blick ins Buch

As spaces of knowledge, the national museums and galleries of nineteenth-century Europe played an important role both in the shaping of nation-states and the education of their populations. In this context, such institutions sought to convey the history of the people, for example by displaying pictorial cycles of important scenes from their history, exhibiting objects associated with certain formative events, or arraying period rooms to promote a specific impression of the past. The contributions to this volume examine the purposes and educational strategies of national museums and national galleries via case studies from Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, and Switzerland.
