This monograph examines the most prestigious political paintings
created in Britain during the High Baroque age. It investigates a
period characterized by numerous social, political, and religious
crises, in the years between the restoration of the Stuart monarchy
(1660) and the death of the first British monarch from the House of
Hanover (1727). On the basis of hitherto unpublished documents, the
book elucidates the creation and reception of nine major
commissions that involved the court, private aristocratic patrons,
and/or civic institutions. The ground-breaking new interpretations
of these works focus on strategies of conflict resolution, the
creation of shared cultural memories, processes of cultural
translation, the performative context of the murals and the
interaction of painted images and architectural spaces.
As space conditions perception, the analysis of relationships
between image and space is highly significant. The current
popularity of immersive spaces proves the strong affective
potential of space and forms part of a long art historical
tradition, upon which this volume offers critical reflection.
Building on the methodological considerations inspired by the
"spatial turn" and the "pictorial turn," the authors bring together
approaches from image and architectural studies to formulate a new
image-space methodology. The ten case studies of profane and sacred
image-space ensembles from different eras and cultures discuss the
types and functions of such ensembles as well as their respective
aesthetic strategies, the related reception mechanisms, and
performative uses. Introduction in Methods of the Analysis of
Image-Space Relationships Interpretations of Image-Space Ensembles
from the Middle Ages to the 21st Century Study of the Relationship
between Ideas of Space and Spatial Perception
