Abstract
The research program encompasses basic investigations in the history of art in the Slove-nian territory as well as in the neighboring regions of Central Europe and the Adriatic from the Early Middle Ages onwards, covering in particular the fields of architecture, sculpture and painting, but also including urban planning, arts and crafts and design. The emphasis lies on the recording and investigation of complex units by stylistic periods in the sense of territorial corpora as well as by themes and artists, particularly in those areas explored to a lesser extent, whereby contemporary methodological approaches and inter-national art history practices (stylistic and functional analysis, typology, iconography and contextual issues - 'patronage studies') are applied. The points of departure are historical aspects with the investigation of archival materials and other written records, whereas for more recent periods the aspects of art criticism and theory are also taken into considera-tion. An important feature here are the thematic, stylistic and critical comparisons be-tween these materials and positions and the wider European space, and the emplacement of research results within this context. In view of the capacities and orientations of the members of the research group, the concrete tasks primarily involve investigations of the architecture, sculpture, wall painting and panel painting of the Gothic and Early Renais-sance periods, the architecture and sculpture of the Baroque, the architecture and sculp-ture of the 19th century and various aspects of art and art criticism in the 20th century, both in its national and international context.
The relevance of the research program for science in the broader (international) sense
In all its methodological aspects, the research program is comparable to similar art his-torical research carried out elsewhere in the world, at foreign university institutes and re-search organizations for other countries (e. g. Austria, Germany, Italy, Croatia, etc.). Such research work not only contributes to the European and universal history of culture and thought but also to an understanding of the latest developments in art. The signifi-cance of the proposed research program is in the exploration, presentation and emplace-ment of relevant materials from the territorially determined region of Slovenia and the neighboring regions of Central Europe and the Adriatic into a wider diapason of Euro-pean art history and in evolving a methodology that derives from the specific historical and cultural circumstances of this area.
The relevance of the research program for Slovenia
The basic subject of the investigations is part of the national cultural heritage of Slovenia and as such it is important for the corroboration of the national identity of our country. It is, however, expanded to also include the nearby regions of Central Europe and the Adri-atic, which, on the one hand, enables a more objective assessment, and on the other, an adoption of more elaborated, advanced research methods that it would be impossible to develop to such a degree if the research were limited to Slovenia alone. The aim of the research work is to stimulate the acquirement of a more thorough knowledge and assess-ment of Slovenian art of all periods, as well as to develop and reinforce art history as a scientific discipline in Slovenia.
