Call for Papers CONCEPT – IMAGE – RECEPTION BAROQUE CEILING PAINTING IN THE SETTING OF EUROPEAN MONASTERIES Bratislava, 19–21 September, 2013 We would like to inform you about preparations for an international conference “Concept – Image – Reception. Baroque Ceiling Painting in the Setting of European Monasteries”, which will take place in Bratislava on 19–21 September, 2013. The conference will be organised by The Institute of Art History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, in cooperation with The Research Group for Baroque Ceiling Painting in Central Europe (BCPCE), The Department of Art History, Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in Brno, and The Institute of Art History, Czech Academy of Sciences. The theme of the planned conference is the relationship between monumental ceiling paintings and texts relating to them, and their contemporary reception, in the European countries in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The formulation of questions and the search for answers to them will take place within the framework of the following thematic fields: - the relationship that written sources (contracts, correspondence, inventories, etc.) and historical texts with a iconographical content (literature, concepts – concetti, manuscript or printed descriptions) have to the form the painting subsequently takes - the artistic approach to and formal treatment of the pictorial themes in relationship to architecture, to ceremonial and liturgical practice, and to the spirituality of the religious orders and publicity for them - the reception of the ceiling paintings and current possibilities for understanding them (interpretation of contemporary descriptions, topographical and pilgrimage literature and other sources) - the relationship between ceiling painting on the one hand and contemporary iconographical literature and post-Tridentine image theory (Robert Bellarmine, Gabriele Paleotti, Molanus, et al.) on the other - the migration of pictorial motifs and artistic exchange in Europe We welcome proposals for contributions to the conference relating to the thematic fields outlined above. The time available for contributions accompanied by a digital visual presentation will be 20 minutes. The conference languages will be English and German. In view of the limited scale of the conference, proposals for contributions will be subject to a selection procedure. It is planned to publish the contributions in the form of conference proceedings. Should you be interested in taking an active part in the conference, please send the title of your proposed contribution, together with an abstract no more than one page (1800 characters) in length, to one of the following e-mail addresses by 31 March 2013 at the latest: Mgr. et.

Wien,
16. - 19. September 2009 Am 31. August 2009 jährt sich der 300. Todestag von
Andrea Pozzo. In Wien befinden sich nicht nur wichtige Spätwerke der
Freskomalerei des Jesuiten, in Wien verbrachte er auch seine letzten Lebensjahre und in Wien wurde
er schließlich begraben. Dies ist Anlass für eine internationale Tagung, die im
September 2009 in Wien von der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (Kommission
für Kunstgeschichte) organisiert werden wird. Sie will sich vorrangig der
Deckenmalerei Pozzos zu widmen und versuchen, deren Dimensionen und Kontexte
herauszuarbeiten. Das Symposium wird sich der Neubewertung seiner Wiener Werke
widmen, aber ebenso weiterreichenden Fragestellungen, die für Pozzos gesamtes
Freskowerk Gültigkeit haben. Die erhaltenen Wiener Werke, also die
Neugestaltung und malerische Ausstattung der Universitätskirche, die
Freskierung des Herkulessaales im Gartenpalais Liechtenstein und der aus
Kulissen gefügte Hochaltar der Franziskanerkirche, geben auch die Objekte der
möglichen Untersuchungen vor: Ausstattung eines Gotteshauses der Gesellschaft
Jesu, Neuinterpretation / Umwertung von Architektur mittels Malerei, Funktion
der Scheinarchitektur, fürstlich-profaner Repräsentationsauftrag an einen
Jesuiten und dessen Erfüllung, der Hochaltar und seine Inszenierung, das theatrum
sacrum.

Frank Büttner, Institut für
Kunstgeschichte, Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität München, and Bayerische
Akademie der Wissenschaften, Munich -
Martin Mádl, Institute of Art History, Academy of Sciences of the Czech

Centre -
Werner Telesko, Kommission für Kunstgeschichte, Österreichische Akademie The
conference will discuss, on interdisciplinary level, the function,
manifestations and context of sacred ceiling painting in towns and cities.
Besides art historians, also researchers in other branches of the humanities
are kindly invited to participate, particularly those from the fields of
theology and ecclesiastical history. Most
welcome will be papers that fall within different thematic groups related to
religious ceiling painting from around the year 1700, such as the issues of the
aristocracy and the Church – within this context especially the religious
orders – as patrons of religious ceiling paintings in towns; ceiling paintings
in sacred buildings; religious ceiling paintings in secular buildings; theology
and iconography; worship of the saints; Marian iconography; literary and visual
sources; painting programmes and their reception; etc. Particularly
topical questions: the place and function of a sacred space in secular
architecture (understanding the decorations in chapels with regard to
diversified functions of the inner structures of palaces and chateaux);
iconography of the sacred space within the context of secular architecture
(motifs of ceiling decorations of palace and chateau chapels); decorations of
town churches in view of theological and liturgical aspects; qualitative
aspects of decorations in sacred spaces with regard to social function of a
public space; between religion and propaganda – decorations of town churches of
different religious orders, cathedrals, town churches and chapels. Presentations
will also be considered for publication. Contact: Barbara Murovec, France

BAROQUE CEILING PAINTING IN hUNGARY - RESEARCH SUMMARY
There are around 200 ecclesiastical and
secular buildings in Hungary that are decorated with 17th-18th centuries frescos.
During the first phase of the project systematic photo documentation will be
made of all these objects. The 5–8 thousand photos will be processed in a
searchable database by adding thesaurus-based descriptive data to the images
(place name, artist name, date, iconographic keywords etc.). The catalogue entries
will provide detailed description of all the objects, summarising the available
information (annotated bibliography, archival sources etc.) and adding detailed
thematic analysis, i.e. reconstruction of the iconographic program of the
works. The final stage of the research program will enable the research
community to carry out monographic and thematic research, to revise questions of
attribution etc. Project participants: Géza Galavics,
