CROATIAN CONSERVATION INSTITUTE BAVARIAN STATE DEPARTMENT OF MONUMENTS AND SITES INSTITUTE FOR THE PROTECTION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE OF SLOVENIA UNIVERSITY OF GRAZ UNIVERSITY OF LJUBLJANA The work of the Straub family of sculptors between the Swabian Alb and the Adri- atic Sea, in Württemberg, Bavaria, Vienna, Styria, Slovenia and Croatia, is being re- searched and presented by art historians and restorers. The father Johann Georg, until now mainly known as a carpenter in Wiesensteig, had five sons, all of whom worked as sculptors predominantly in wood, and who followed the course of the Danube to the southeast. The greatest value of the Tracing the Art of the Straub Family project lies in the up-to-date high quality photographs, the latest information on the state of research and detailed documentation of the material history of all the works, along with the damage they suffered, adjustments, renovations and finally, scientific conserva- WWW.TRARS.EU tions.

Peter Steiner The monograph Tracing the Art of the Straub Family brings together the contri- butions of many first-rate researchers into the noteworthy German, Austrian, Slovenian, and Croatian eighteenth-century artistic heritage. This concerns the n altar-sculptural oeuvres of five brothers of the artistic Straub family, whose work extended beyond the cultural borders of Central Europe and enriched the artis- tic panorama of capitals, market towns, cities, and villages, in a wide arc from the slopes of the South German Alps to the edges of the Pannonian Plain along the frontier of the Ottoman Empire. The individual contributions in the monograph by numerous scholars have – for the first time – been interwoven to provide a uni- fied picture of a large family of sculptors, a collection of related but specific artistic Co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Unio routes that led the brothers from their native Wiesensteig to Munich, Graz, Mari- bor, Bad Radkersburg and Zagreb.
