Verwandelte Geschichte: Tiepolo gestaltet die geistliche Herrschaft in Franken.
- Authors
Dombrowski, Damian
- Abstract
The article deals with the frescoes by Giambattista Tiepolo in the Würzburg Residence. Tiepolo was commissioned to create frescoes in the High Princely Dining Hall and in the staircase of the Residence. He was able to express his artistic freedom and received support from the commissioners. The frescoes emphasize the spiritual rule and present the Bishop of Würzburg more prominently than the head of the empire. It also discusses the changes Tiepolo made to the wall frescoes in the Emperor's Hall to emphasize the power of the bishop.
