| Description | The lecture was dedicated to the memory of German-Bohemian Painter Gabriel von Max who was the main initiator of the artistic contacts between Bavaria and Bohemia at his life time. The 24th of November 2015 was the day of the 100th anniversary of his death. The example of Munich influenced considerably Bohemian painting already in the 1840s when two painters from the metropolis of Bavaria, Christian Ruben and Maxmilian Haushofer became leading figures of the Prague Academy of Fine Arts. The attractiveness of the Munich metropolis of arts grew greatly in the decades 1860s-1880s: the Academy of Fine Arts as well as various private schools were attended by students from all over the world and especially from Central Europe. The Bohemian-Moravian artistic community (with students of Czech and German mother tongue) belonged to the largest land communities in Munich. The Munich Secession became recognized in 1890s, as well as the artistic colony in Dachau associated with it and specialized in landscape painting. The lecture is focused on Bavarian inspirations at works by painters who went through Munich and other places (Augsburg, Dachau, Ammerland). Many of them spent several important study years in Bavaria while others remained there even after finishing their studies. Among them, Gabriel von Max won the greatest public recognition: he was awarded the title of the professor of the King_s Academy of Fine Arts and the personal title of nobility to the occasion of his 60th birthday in the year 1900. Because an intensive research of artistic exchange between the metropolis of Bavaria and the lands of Central Europe has been conducted since the last decade, the topic of the lecture is focused in a comparative perspective. |
