Kult und Kunst – Kopie und Original

Some princely collectors in the early modern period established an unusual way of dealing with sacred pictures: they had altarpieces replaced by copies, which remained in the church room while the originals passed into courtly possession. How did these substitutions come about, and why were the sacred institutions content with the copies? Did the function of the originals change with the shift of location? And what role did the copies play? Antonia Putzger explores these questions on the basis of altarpieces by Rogier van der Weyden, Jan van Eyck and Albrecht Dürer. With a view to various concepts of originality that formed in the 16th and 17th centuries, she investigates whether the changed contexts of presentation also indicate a change in the religious and aesthetic reception of those works. The supposed opposition of cult and art is thus productively questioned.
