Herbert Karner, Martin Mádl (eds.)
The publication in German offers a collection of papers focused on parish churches and their monumental painted decoration in Central Europe in the 16th-18th centuries. The editors and authors of the forthcoming book aim to capture various aspects of Baroque decoration of rural churches in a broader cultural and religious context, and to describe the specific function of rural sacral buildings in mediating cultural and artistic impulses between the centre and the periphery. Last but not least, the book strives to draw attention to this important part of Europe's cultural heritage which is often overlooked and potentially neglected due to the current social and economic conditions. The book will include more general historical and art-historical essays as well as several case studies, which were first presented to the professional public at an international scientific conference jointly organised by the Institut für kunst- und musikhistorische Forschungen ÖAV and the Institute of Art History CAS in Vienna in autumn 2017.
