Neupräsentation Des Stadtmodells Von Johann Baptist Seitz Und SPECIAL EXHIBITION Bella Figura European Bronze Sculpture in Southern Germany around 1600 6 February to 25 May 2015 Between 1570 and 1620 Southern Germany was one of the centres of international bronze art. Principal patrons of art such as the Fuggers and the Dukes of Bavaria summoned to Augsburg and Munich chiefly Dutch artists who had gained their experience in the Florentine workshop of Gio- vanni Bologna, the court sculptor of the Medici. In a complicated and technically sophisticated bronze casting process, large-scale artworks such as fountain figures, garden sculptures, and fa- çade decorations were commissioned for courtly and urban representation. Statuettes entered into private collections as exclusive cabinet objects. Also, these artists were receiving substantial or- ders for bronze statues for tombs and altars. Works such as the Madonna on Munich’s Marian Column or the lions at the Munich Residenz are still popular attractions in Munich to this day. One of the main themes of Mannerist bronze art was the nude, which was depicted in intricate poses and could be viewed from all sides. Mythological representations such as the god Mercury and the nude couple Mars and Venus as lovers were not only executed in small format but also in monumental fountain figures. This exhibition opens up the chapter on to one of the most brilliant eras in Southern German art history in which art works of European importance were created. With approximately 80 master- piece bronze sculptures and about 25 drawings and prints, the Bavarian National Museum illumi- nates the emergence of Mannerist bronze art in the 16th century in Florence and its dissemination to northern Europe. The bronze sculpture’s success story will be demonstrated with works by Giovanni Bologna, Willem van Tetrode, Hubert Gerhard, Adriaen de Vries, Johann Gregor van der Schardt, Carlo di Cesare del Palagio, and Hans Reichle. Important museums and collections from all over Germany and from New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Vienna and London will be par- ticipating with first-class loans. The exhibition will be accompanied by a richly illustrated scientific catalogue and a guide to the public bronze works in Munich and Augsburg. .

    The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adam R. Gustafson June 2011 © 2011 Adam R. Gustafson All Rights Reserved 2 This dissertation titled The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria by ADAM R. GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.

    The Arts Society Grayshott presents Oberammergau Passion Play 2020 & the Art & Palaces of Munich & Bavaria What is the 7 days from £1,539 Departing 16th June 2020 Oberammergau Passion Play? THE HISTORY In 1633, in the middle of the Thirty Years War, Bavaria was being swept by a plague epidemic and more than 80 lives had been lost in Oberammergau alone. The local elders vowed that if the village were purged of the plague, they would ‘keep the Passion tragedy every 10 years’. The epidemic came to a standstill and in 1634 the villagers fulfilled their solemn promise for the first time. Ever since they have loyally kept their vow and in 2020 Oberammergau will, for the 42nd time, be staging the Passion Play telling the story of Christ’s Passion, from His entry into Jerusalem and ending with the Resurrection and Ascension. THE STAGE The roofed auditorium has seats for nearly 4,500 spectators. The terraces rising towards the back of the auditorium ensure a good view from every seat of the open air stage, where the play is performed whatever the weather. THE PLAY The Play is performed exclusively by amateur actors, who were either born in Oberammergau or have lived there for the past 20 years. In 2010, over 2,000 of the 5,300 or so inhabitants were involved either on stage or backstage. A special feature of the Oberammergau Passion Play is its living tableaux: colourful scenes from the Old Testament, which are woven into the story of the Passion in the form of still life pictures.

  • Promenade Among Words and Things: the Gallery As Catalogue, the Catalogue As Gallery
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Lending, M 2015 Promenade Among Words and Things: The Gallery as Catalogue, the Catalogue as Gallery. Architectural Histories, 3(1): 20, +LVWRULHV pp. 1–22, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/ah.da RESEARCH ARTICLE Promenade Among Words and Things: The Gallery as Catalogue, the Catalogue as Gallery Mari Lending* In the mid-19th century new casting techniques allowed for the production of huge building fragments. Well-selected cast collections would ideally display perfect series in galleries in which the visitor could wander among monuments and experience the history of architecture on a full scale and in three dimen- sions. The disembodied material of plaster proved capable of embodying a number of modern historical taxonomies and aesthetical programs, most importantly chronology, comparison, style, and evolution. Veritable showcases of historicism, the casts could illustrate in spatial arrangements new conceptions on the history, contemporaneity and future of architecture. The plaster cast became a main medium in which to publish antiquities as novelties for grand audiences, taking the printed and the published beyond the two-dimensional space of words and images. However, due to the increasing market of casts and their sheer size and weight, the reproductions as mounted in the galleries often behaved as disorderly as architecture does outside curatorial control. In the end only the catalogues, the paper versions of these imaginary museums, could create the order their plaster referents constantly aspired to destroy. An important chapter in the history of the architecture museum, these plaster monuments belong to a part of architectural print culture in which catalogues were curated and galleries edited.
