Abstract
The research project of Baroque painting in Slovenia, with a special consideration of its place in a wider European context, belongs to the fundamental researches of the history of Slovenian fine arts. The chosen theme concentrates on the field which Slovenian art history has but poorly investigated so far. Profound researches into individual aspects of the essential artistic monuments of the late 17th and the 18th centuries in Carniola and Styria, and into the oeuvres of the most outstanding Baroque painters in Slovenia (Giulio Quaglio, Franc Jelovšek, Johann Caspar Waginger, Anton Lerchinger) create the basis from which a synthesis of a deepened art-historical knowledge can be made. With determining their connectedness with Europe on the one hand, and their specific traits on the other, it renders possible to recognize the identity of Slovenian monuments within European, and particularly Central-European, context. The researches are based on the study of archival and literary sources, painted models, scholarly literature, field-work (examination of monuments, documentation, photo-documentation), comparative analyses of Slovenian and other European monuments. The study lays emphasis on the share of all components involved in the process of the origin and execution of an artwork: the patron, the artist, the work of art itself, and the viewer. Thus, the research is focused on the history of production of artistic monuments, their structure, the role of patrons, the reception of the artwork, the social context, and the wider cultural-historical meaning. The monuments of Baroque painting in Slovenia and the artists who were then active in our country are closely linked with the South-German, Austrian, Venetian and Croatian space, therefore special attention is paid to the study of these connections, also including the basic art-history methods of attribution, dating, iconographic and stylistic analysis, and determining artistic sources and influences.
