Franz Xaver Messerschmidt Monograph and Catalogue Raisonné FRANZ XAVER MESSERSCHMIDT MONOGRAPH AND CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ Belvedere Catalogues Raisonnés, Volume 4 2015 Franz Xaver Messerschmidt Second Head of the Beaked, 1777 1781 Alabaster © Belvedere, Vienna FRANZ XAVER MESSERSCHMIDT MONOGRAPH AND CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ Franz Xaver Messerschmidt, a native Swabian, is one of the most fascinating artists of the age of the Enlightenment and ranks among the leading sculptors of the eighteenth century in Central Europe. He successfully worked in Vienna for the imperial dynasty at the time of Maria Theresa. Messerschmidt was one of the first artists of his period to break with the traditional principles of stately Baroque portraiture in favour of a classicist style. Around 1770 a personal crisis brought about a radical turn in his career and life, which led to the creation of what is now his most famous group of works a series of head studies known as the Character Heads. No other sculptor of his epoch was capable of depicting human feelings and passions in such mercilessly realistic snapshots and with such biting mockery. With these extraordinary works, which were to he violated contemporary conventions and the fundamental rules of academism. The Belvedere is now presenting the new and comprehensive publication Franz Xaver Messerschmidt Monograph and Catalogue Raisonné. The author, Maria Pötzl-Malikova, is a recognised specialist for Baroque sculpture. Ever since the focus of her scholarly work has been on Franz Xaver Messerschmidt personal life and career. Having also devoted her dissertation to this outstanding artist, she published a monograph about his work in 1982. Over time, a number of publications on the vre ensued, while perspectives, which encouraged Maria Pötzl-Malikova to publish an updated version of her monograph of works, is commentaries and lists of relevant literature and exhibitions. Moreover, the volume also comprises a seminal contribution on the genesis of the Character Heads and the disease pattern behind them. edition of catalogues raisonnés at the Belvedere we have successfully implemented a long-term concept for the documentation of the oeuvres of important Austrian artists. This not only facilitates scientific exploration and art historical analysis, but also contributes to their increased appreciation and repositioning within an in says Agnes Husslein-Arco, Director of the Belvedere. Messerschmidt intensively worked on these altogether sixty-nine heads, to which the artist Portreen (portraits) and most of which exhibit extreme grimaces. The spectrum ranges from naturalistic heads harking back to the style of antiquity to exaggerated and expressive mimics displaying states of mind that are difficult to grasp and seem to suggest extreme exertion. Preserving as many as sixteen original heads, the Belvedere owns the largest collection of this group of works worldwide. They are complemented by a substantial number of plaster casts of the altogether fifty-four heads that have survived. output is unjustly reduced to the Character Heads, whose genesis is occasionally surrounded by speculative myths. These heads, which remained in the oeuvre. He made a sensational start with the two gilded bronze busts of the imperial couple Maria Theresa of Austria and Francis I Stephen of Lorraine, both of which are now preserved at the Belvedere. Messerschmidt s early works, which besides the above-mentioned statues of the imperial couple comprise the reliefs of Joseph II and his wife and the gilded bronze bust of Gerard van Swieten, meet all the requirements of stately Baroque portraiture while betraying their roots in the Viennese tradition. These depictions of members of the imperial family hold an important position in Austrian art history. Another patronage he received from the princely Liechtenstein family: from the future Duchess Maria Teresa of Savoy, the artist received such substantial commissions as the monumental Virgin Immaculate and the Elisaeus Fountain created portraits of celebrated contemporary personalities, including the historian Martin Georg Kovachich, the writer and art theorist Franz Christoph von Scheyb, and the physician Gerard van Swieten. Starting in the early 1770s, the soft sweep and pathos of the Baroque gave way to cool rigour and relentless precision. With his aggressive art of characterisation, Messerschmidt paved the way for truth in the rendering of the human figure. This complete rupture with artistic tradition failure at the Academy, and the loss of his patrons drove Messerschmidt into isolation. Biography – Franz Xaver Messerschmidt Franz Xaver Messerschmidt was born into modest circumstances in Wiesensteig, a town between Ulm and Stuttgart, on 6 February 1736. His father was a master whittawer, while his mother came from a family of carvers and cabinetm the mother and her children moved to her brother, the Bavarian court sculptor Johann Baptist Straub in Munich, where Messerschmidt started out as an apprentice. Around 1752 he continued his Philipp Jakob Straub, who was also a sculptor 1755 he enrolled at the Vienna Academy. The portraitist Martin van Meytens became his patron and provided him with the post of a stucco chiseller at the Imperial Arsenal. Around 1760, Messerschmidt successfully managed to establish himself as an independent artist. He received important commissions from the imperial family, which primarily included the life-sized statues of Maria Theresa and Francis Stephen (both of which are now on display at the Belvedere) and of Field Marshal Prince Joseph Wenzel I of Liechtenstein and Duchess Maria Teresa Felicitas of Savoy (née Liechtenstein). In 1765 the artist embarked on a study trip to Rome of several months. Most of his subsequent works betray the knowledge of antique sculpture he had acquired in Italy. On 30 January 1769 he was admitted to the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts as a member, and on 10 September that year he was appointed substitute professor. Around 1771 he began working on the Character Heads. After the death of the sculptor Jakob Schletterer, Messerschmidt was successor as a professor in 1774, although the post had been promised to him earlier. His hostile attitude and occasional mental confusion were given as reasons for his exclusion. In 1775 his possessions were sold, and he finally left Vienna. He went back to his native town of Wiesensteig via Munich and increasingly devoted himself to the work on his heads. In 1777 he moved to Bratislava, where he lived with his younger brother, Johann, who was also a sculptor. In l Zuckermandel. Besides his heads, Messerschmidt also produced portrait busts and, above all, alabaster medallions, which he sold. Messerschmidt died in 1783, presumably on 19 August. The cause of his death seems to have been pneumonia. His brother Johann inherited his possessions and also became the owner of the Character Heads. They were purchased in 1793 by the traiteur Franz Strunz, who exhibited them and had a catalogue produced. This was when their The Belvedere Catalogues Raisonnés For many years now, the scholarly review of the oeuvres of Austrian artists has been an important focal point of the Belvedere among its central tasks as a museum. Without such a of works, a comprehensive analysis of how his or her art historical significance has developed over time would be impossible. In order to be able to fulfil this task in the best possible way, Director Agnes Husslein-Arco has established the Institute for the Compilation of Catalogues Raisonnés at the Belvedere Research Centre. By engaging both in-house experts and independent specialists, the Institute systematically attends to the mapping of the entire careers of central exponents of Austrian art, from the Baroque to the present. Currently, twelve catalogues raisonnés are being compiled simultaneously, which will appear in the years to come. This scientific revision and documentation of the oeuvres of important Austrian artists constitutes a new benchmark in the exploration of Austrian art history. The following catalogue raisonnés have appeared to date: Josef Danhauser The Biedermeier Period in Pictures (Sabine Grabner, vol. 1), Carry Hauser Monograph and Catalogue Raisonné (Cornelia Cabuk, vol. 2), and Hans Makart Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings (Gerbert Frodl, vol. 3). The Catalogue Raisonné series is generously supported by the Dorotheum.

Abstract This overview reflects the extensive changes in the health care system which had significant effects on the apothecary’s profession and education. In the 18th century Maria Theresia assigned Gerard van Swieten to modernize the medical curriculum and to work out reforms for health care. The resulting sanitary bill released in 1770 and amended in 1773 became effective for the whole empire and influenced greatly the apothecary's profession. The Viennese Medical Faculty continued to be the supervisory body for the apothecaries, a situation which prolonged the conflicts between the faculty and the apothecaries. The financial and social distress prevalent in the 19th century also affected the apothecary business and led to a crisis of the profession. Furthermore, the apothecaries' missing influence over the sanitary authorities delayed the release of a badly needed new apothecary bill until 1906.

    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. Tracing the Art of the Straub Family is a highly valuable, innovative contribu- tion to the cultural history of eighteentth-century Central Europe. 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.

  • Austrian High Enlightenment Josephinism, Literature, and State Building
    Austrian High Enlightenment Josephinism, Literature, and State Building Joshkin Aziz Sezer University of Minnesota Abstract This article examines state building under Joseph II in the Habsburg Empire between the period of 1780-1790 and considers the intellectual successes of Josephinism. It analyzes the context of his targeted intellectual audience and focuses in particular on the work of Austrian author Johnn Pezzl who was a contemporary of Joseph II and a member of Masonic and other Enlightenment era groups. Article The reign of Joseph II was at the peak of Enlightenment sensibilities, and in many ways, he personified the ideal of an enlightened monarch. To be an enlightened monarch was to embody the state in your every action and be dictated not by the church or emotional sentimentality but by logic and reason; Joseph certainly worked towards this ideal. After the death of his mother Maria Theresa in 1780, Joseph oversaw a number of reforms in the Habsburg realm. From his Edict of Tolerance in 1781 to his lifting of censorship on the press to his attempts to modernize agriculture in the Empire, Joseph was a figure of modernity. This is not to say Austria was the backward land that it is often portrayed as in popular history; its many different legal systems, languages, and lack of centralized structures were not dissimilar to France, England, and even Prussia.1 Yet Austria and Joseph II were subtly different in this era and marked by continual contradictions. Joseph II liberalized censorship laws, yet at the same time, he went against theatre and ballet, pushed for greater “Germanization” throughout his empire, and took part in the dismantling of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

There is evidence that in 1751 Johann Georg assisted at BETWEEN ACADEMIC ART AND Philipp Jakobs’s workshop in Graz before he married in Bad Radkersburg in 1753.3 His sculptural œuvre is GUILD TRADITIONS hardly traceable, and only the figures on the right-side altar in the Church of Our Lady in Bad Radkersburg (ca. 1755) are usually attributed to him.4 The second half- brother, Franz Anton, stayed in Zagreb in the 1760s and early 1770s; none of his sculptural output has been confirmed by archival sources so far. Due to stylistic similarities with his brother’s works, Doris Baričević attributed a number of anonymous sculptures from the 1760s to him, among them the high altar in Ludina The family of sculptors Johann Baptist, Philipp Jakob, and the pulpit in Kutina.5 Joseph, Franz Anton, and Johann Georg Straub, who worked in the eighteenth century on the territory of present-day Germany (Bavaria), Austria, Slovenia, Cro- STATE OF RESEARCH atia, and Hungary, derives from Wiesensteig, a small Bavarian enclave in the Swabian Alps in Württemberg.
