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 On the basis of hitherto unpublished documents, the book elucidates the creation and reception of nine major commissions that involved the court, private aristocratic patrons, and/or civic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.

Das Buch analysiert Entstehung und Rezeption der neun wichtigsten politischen Bildzyklen des Hochbarock in Großbritannien, die vom Königshof, einzelnen Aristokraten und / oder öffentlichen Institutionen in Auftrag gegeben wurden. Es konzentriert sich auf die von zahlreichen sozialen, politischen und religiösen Krisen geprägte Epoche zwischen der Restauration der Stuart-Monarchie (1660) und dem Tod des ersten britischen Monarchen aus dem Hause Hannover (1727). Auf der Basis bislang unpublizierter Dokumente werden alle Werke einer grundlegend neuen Deutung unterzogen. Dabei stehen visuelle Strategien der Konfliktlösung, Formen des kulturellen Gedächtnisses, kulturelle Übersetzungsprozesse, performative Kontexte der Wandmalereien und Bild-Raum-Beziehungen im Vordergrund.

Prof. Dr. Christina Strunck is chair of the Institute for Art History at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Her enthusiasm for British art was sparked by her studies at the University of Cambridge and her time as lecturer at the University of York. In numerous publications, she has addressed processes of cultural exchange within Europe. Her areas of specialization are Italian-French relations in the early modern period and the relationship of these Catholic cultures to the British-Anglican tradition.
