Summary: Welche Rolle spielten Kunstwerke im Geflecht der rasch wechselnden politischen Allianzen der Frühen Neuzeit? Dieser Frage gehen die interdisziplinären Beiträge des Bandes unter den Blickwinkeln "Krieg und Frieden", "Jesuiten und Diplomatie", "Verhandeln im Namen des Glaubens" und "Höfische und diplomatische Feste" nach. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf solchen Kunstgattungen, die aufgrund ihrer Reproduzierbarkeit für eine einfache Verbreitung geeignet waren, wie Medaillen und Druckgraphiken. Aber auch Gemälde, Grabmäler und ephemere Inszenierungen wie Feuerwerke dienten der Manifestation von Machtansprüchen. Durch die exemplarischen Analysen entsteht ein breiter Blick auf die politischen Dimensionen des frühneuzeitlichen transkulturellen künstlerischen Austauschs in Europa und darüber hinaus.Summary: What was the role of art in the context of rapidly changing political alliances of the early modern period? The interdisciplinary contributions to this volume explore this question from the perspectives of "War and Peace," "Jesuits and Diplomacy," "Negotiating with Faith," and "Court and Diplomatic Celebrations". Special attention is paid to those art genres that were suitable for easy distribution due to their reproducibility, such as medals and prints. But also paintings, tombs and ephemeral festivities like fireworks served the manifestation of claims to power. The exemplary analyses provide a broad view of the political dimensions of early modern transcultural artistic exchange in Europe and beyond.
