Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Sacred Ensembles of Late Medieval Vienna:
Spaces, Imagery, Liturgy

As a princely seat and commercial hub, Vienna's status as a leading art centre in late medieval Central Europe was secure. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, its wealthy elite financed the remodelling or complete rebuilding of all its principal churches and public buildings. This course addresses the most important sacred projects of the period – particularly the ongoing building and manifold remodellings of St Stephen’s as a city church, princely mausoleum, and seat of a collegiate chapter and then bishopric. Analysis of the well-preserved spatial and visual media of this and other Viennese churches will offer insights into processes of creation and reception, and bring us closer to the perspectives of patrons, artists, and congregations.
