Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 l a s g o w \ £5 OG Abstract The Neues SchloB in Pappenheim commissioned by Carl Theodor Pappenheim is probably one of the finest examples of neo-classical interior design in Germany retaining a large amount of original furniture. Through his commissions he did not only build a house and furnish it, but also erected a monument of the history of his family. By comparing parts of the furnishing of the Neues SchloB with contemporary objects which are partly in the house it is evident that the majority of these are influenced by the Empire style. Although this era is known under the name Biedermeier, its source of style and decoration is clearly Empire.

    EXHIBITION REVIEWS and located anything that looks Biedermeier in a bourgeois milieu. The traditional view has recently come under damaging scrutiny. Dr Haidrun Zinnkann in a study of furniture produced in Mainz - an important centre of manu- facture - has looked at cabinet-makers' order books, finding that it was the aris- tocracy who first commissioned pieces in Biedermeier style. Only around 1830 did the local Mainz middle classes, copying their 'social betters', approach manufac- turers for such furniture.2 What of Biedermeier in Munich? Here, the Stadtmuseum collection is important because so many of its 300-odd Biedermeier pieces can be dated, and their history documented. To be more precise, the mu- seum has fallen heir to a good deal of furniture from the residences of the former ruling house ofWittelsbach. Between 1806 and 1815 the Wittelsbachs commissioned large numbers of pieces in a style that can only be described as Biedermeier (Fig.76). This furniture was for everyday use, while grander rooms were decorated in Empire style. Thus in Munich Biedermeier appears a full decade before 'it should'.

  • Carl Spitzweg and the Biedermeier
    UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND “A CHRONIC TUBERCULOSIS:” CARL SPITZWEG AND THE BIEDERMEIER BENJAMIN BLOCK ART494 PROF. LINDA WILLIAMS March 13, 2014 1 Image List Fig. 1: Carl Spitzweg, English Tourists in Campagna (English Tourists Looking at Ruins). Oil on paper. 19.7 x 15.7 inches, c. 1845. Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen Preussicher Kulturbesitz, Berlin. 2 The Biedermeier period, which is formally framed between 1815 and 1848,1 remains one of the murkiest and least studied periods of European art. Nowhere is this more evident than in the volumes that comprise the contemporary English-language scholarship on the period. Georg Himmelheber, in the exhibition catalogue for Kunst des Biedermeier, his 1987 exhibition at the Münchner Stadtmuseum, states that the Biedermeier style was “a new variety of neo- classicism.”2 William Vaughan, on the other hand, in his work German Romantic Painting, inconsistently places Biedermeier painters in a “fluctuating space” between Romanticism and Biedermeier that occasionally includes elements of Realism as well.3 It is unusual to find such large discrepancies on such a fundamental point for any period in modern art historical scholarship, and the wide range of conclusions that have been drawn about the period and the art produced within indicate a widespread misunderstanding of Biedermeier art by scholars. While there have been recent works that point to a fuller understanding of the Biedermeier period, namely the exhibition catalogue for the 2001 exhibit Biedermeier: Art and Culture in Central Europe, 1815-1848 and Albert Boime’s Art in the Age of Civil Struggle, most broadly aimed survey texts still perpetuate an inaccurate view of the period, and some omit it altogether.

  • IS THAT BIEDERMEIER? Amerling, Waldmüller and More
    IS THAT BIEDERMEIER? Amerling, Waldmüller and more Lower Belvedere 21 October 2016 to 12 February 2017 József Borsos Emir from Lebanon (Portrait of Edmund Count Zichy), 1843 Oil on canvas 154 × 119 cm Museum of Fine Arts-Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest IS THAT BIEDERMEIER? Amerling, Waldmüller and more Die The Belvedere’s major autumn exhibition focuses on the development of painting in the years between 1830 and 1860 and provocatively asks: “Is that Biedermeier?” Curated by Sabine Grabner, the show runs from 21 October 2016 to 12 February 2017 at the Lower Belvedere. The exhibition centres around Austrian painting and how art developed in the imperial city of Vienna. It features portraits, landscapes, and genre pictures. Painting first blossomed in the 1830s and this heyday continued well beyond the middle of the century, until the building of the Ringstrasse heralded the advent of Historicism in Austrian art. The show therefore begins in the midst of the historical Biedermeier era and continues beyond this period. Painting’s continuous evolution over these years reveals that art and history influenced each other only to a certain extent. The Revolution of 1848 – marking the end of the Biedermeier period and the era known as Vormärz – is a case in point, as its impact on art was confined to depicting the political event and it had no effect on the technique of painting or the composition of pictures. „The Belvedere is in possession of one of the most outstanding collections of 19th century art, including arthistoric masterpieces. Therefore, it was my wish to look at this era in art history from a new scientific point of view.

  • Historicism and Decorative Arts Theory in Germany and Austria, 1851-1901
    Historicism and Decorative Arts Theory in Germany and Austria, 1851-1901 Eric Anderson Tuesday 6-8 pm Spring 2006 [email protected] In the second half of the nineteenth century, a wide-ranging movement to strengthen national art industries and improve the artistic quality of domestic interiors developed in Germany and Austria. At its heart was the belief that only by grappling with the past could modern designers meet the challenge of creating artistic environments suited to the new demands of a rapidly transforming society. From this conviction arose a rich theoretical discourse on historical forms and their relationship to the present. This course examines the concept of Historicism as it was developed in books, periodicals, and exhibition displays. What narratives of design history did theorists construct? How did they view the role of the decorative arts and the artistic interior in modern society? What were the social and artistic concerns underlying their arguments about the modern use of particular historical styles?
