| description | The history is intended as the first comprehensive examination of the role of Austrian history in the visual arts of the Habsburg monarchy between 1804 and 1918. At its centre are the following three key questions: What status did the general preoccupation with history acquire? What where the favorite historical subjects for artistic representation? What significance did the Habsburgs´own history (almost endlessly "extendible" all the way back to its fictitious mythical beginnings) hold for the issues of the day? Works of art contribute to the creation of traditions in a double sense: a given work simultaneously contains and creates history. A work of art is also a medium for social identification, facilitating communication between the monarch and the people. Investigating the characteristics of the different "reflections on history" in the visual arts in Austria in the 19th century led to the practical necessity of significantly widening the known material basis. It became apparent that previous research was based on a relatively limited range of works (primarily "high art") and failed to relate these works to literary documents from the fiields of historiography or belles-lettres. I believe it is only by expanding the basis in terms of both word and picture documentation that a reliable overview of the different strategies pursued by Habsburg iconography can be gained. Not only did my chosen methodology seem expedient, and indeed almost indispensable for an examination of concrete historical cases, it also reveals that this interlocking approach (furthermore justified by the nature of the material) based on interrelating picture and text media contains the very key to a proper investigation of the historical art of the 19th century. In approaching the central questions, this study begins with an introduction that looks at concepts and methodology and charts the difficult formation of the "Austrian nation" from "Casa d´Austria" to the Habsburg "nation state". The second chapter examines the relevance of the Austrian 18th century in the consciousness of the following century based on the examples of rulers Maria Theresia and Joseph II. This is folloewd almost of necessity by a long section on the ruler iconography of the period Emperor Franz II (I) to Emperor Franz Joseph I. The visual strategies of the Habsburg rulers in the 19th century and the inseparable question of the legitimation of the Austrian Empire in the years after 1848 steer attention back to the quest for "origins" and to the Habsburg "insurance policy" of evoking the figure of founding father Rudolf I. This forms the main focus of the fourth chapter. In this context, the various appeals to the famous progenitor assume the character of an "underpinning" myth (Jan Assmann). The final chapter attempts to provide answers to questions relating to the "flowering" of Austrian historiography in the 19th century relative to historical interpretations in painting. The complex genesis of the celebration of glorious Austrian deeds ist examined on the basis of the concrete example of "military iconography" and the decoration of the "hall of fame" in the "Arsenal" in Vienna. |

Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, die Bedeutung der österreichischen Geschichte in der bildenden Kunst der Habsburgermonarchie von 1804 bis 1918 erstmals umfassend deutlich zu machen. Im Zentrum stehen vor allem folgende drei Fragen: Welchen Stellenwert gewann die Beschäftigung mit Geschichte ganz allgemein? Auf welche historischen Ereignisse bezog man sich vorzugsweise in den Darstellungen der Kunst? In welcher Hinsicht besaß die eigene - bis zu fiktiven mythischen Anfängen gleichsam beliebig "verlängerbare" - Geschichte für gegenwärtige Fragestellungen Bedeutung? Kunstwerke tragen zur Konstruktion von Traditionen bei - und dies in höchst doppelsinniger Weise: das jeweilige Werk enthält und erzeugt zugleich Geschichte. Es ist darüber hinaus ein soziales "Identifikationsmedium" und vermittelt zwischen dem Regenten und den Bürgern. Die Charakteristika der unterschiedlichen "Geschichtsreflexionen" in Österreich im 19. Jahrhundert in den Medien der bildenden Kunst zu untersuchen brachte die praktische Notwendigkeit mit sich, die bekannte Materialbasis beträchtlich zu erweitern. Es zeigte sich, daß die Forschung bisher zumeist von einem eher begrenzten Werkbestand (vor allem der "Hochkunst") ausging und diesen nicht mit literarischen Dokumenten aus Historiographie und Belletristik in Beziehung setzte. Erst auf dieser entsprechend erweiterten Basis von Dokumenten in Wort und Bild läßt sich meines Erachtens ein verläßliches Gesamtbild für die unterschiedlichen Strategien habsburgischer Ikonographie gewinnen. Die gewählte Methodik erschien nicht nur zweckmäßig und darüber hinaus für den konkreten historischen Fall geradezu unerläßlich, sondern sie zeigt auch, daß gerade in dieser verschränkten (und in der Ausrichtung des Materials begründeten) Betrachtungsweise aufeinander bezogener Bild- und Textmedien der Schlüssel für die Erforschung der österreichischen Historienkunst des 19. Jahrhunderts liegt. Die vorliegende Arbeit nähert sich den zentralen Fragestellungen über eine Einführung zu Begrifflichkeit und Methodik und verfolgt die schwierige Formierung der "Nation Österreich" von der "Casa d´Austria" bis zum habsburgischen "Gesamtstaat". Die Aktualität des österreichischen 18. Jahrhunderts im Bewußtsein des folgenden Jahrhunderts am Beispiel der Regenten Maria Theresia und Joseph II. ist Gegenstand des zweiten Kapitels. Fast zwingend schließt sich hier der große Abschnitt zur Herrscherikonographie von Kaiser Franz II. (I.) bis Kaiser Franz Joseph I. an. Die visuellen Strategien der Habsburgerregenten im 19. Jahrhundert und die damit untrennbar verbundene Frage nach der Legitimation des österreichischen Kaisertums in den Jahren nach 1848 lenken den Blick wieder zurück zur Suche nach den "Ursprüngen" und zur habsburgischen "Selbstversicherung" durch die Beschwörung des Stammvaters Rudolf I., die zentraler Gegenstand des vierten Kapitels ist. Die unterschiedlichen Rekurse auf den berühmten Stammvater besitzen in diesem Zusammenhang den Charakter eines "fundierten" Mythos (Jan Assmann). Das abschließende Kapitel sucht Antworten auf die Fragen nach der "Blüte" der österreichischen Historiographie im 19. Jahrhundert im Verhältnis zu den Interpretationen in der Malerei. Am konkreten Beispiel der "Militärikonographie" und der Ausstattung der "Ruhmeshalle" im Wiener "Arsenal" wird die komplexe Genese der Verherrlichung österreichischer Ruhmestaten untersucht. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2013-12-31 23:55:55 2019-11-28 14:38:16 2020-04-01T15:15:37Z 2006 book 437150 OCN: 595338447 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34431 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/33015 ger open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34431/1/437150.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34431/1/437150.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34431/1/437150.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34431/1/437150.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34431/1/437150.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34431/1/437150.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34431/1/437150.pdf Böhlau 10.26530/oapen_437150 10.26530/oapen_437150 Austrian Science Fund 26ae1657-c58f-4f1d-a392-585ee75c293e Austrian Science Fund (FWF) Böhlau 576 D 3827 open access |
