The Interior as an Embodiment of Power
The Image of the Prince and its Spatial Setting, 1400-1700
Organized by
ESF Research Networking Programme PALATIUM
Co-Organized by
Institute of Archaeology, Cultural Heritage and Art History,
Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg
Institute for Art History, Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich
Scientific summary:
In the last two decades research on European residences has shifted from
the outside to the interior and from stylistic analysis towards
functional aspects in conjunction with the formal layout and design of
courtly interiors. Only the concept of princely magnificence and its
continuous display with artistic means lets us understand early modern
palace buildings and their interior sequences as a medium of princely
self-expression and production. After numerous individual studies it is
now time to compare different courts and regions and to attempt a
synthesis.
The aim of the colloquium is therefore to embed into inter-regional and
broader historical narratives diverse phenomena such as: the ceremonial
passage and advancement of the visitors towards the Prince; the
calculated artistic effects on their route (such as the length of the
route or the gradual increase of the decor of the rooms); special
effects such as stair halls and enfilades; and also the type, number and
position of the furniture. Such a synthesis can offer comparative
overviews of design processes or problems relating to the practical
implementation of such complex interior presentations.
