Art and Architecture around 1400:
Global and Regional Perspectives
Due to the exhibition in Köln Parler und der Schöne Stil 1350–1400 : Europäische Kunst unter den Luxemburgern (1978) art and architecture of continental Europe and its Mediterranean rim have been classified by regional and other perspectives and placed among general surveys of European art history. The researches reached another peak with the exhibitions in Trent in 2002 (Il gotico nelle Alpi: 1350–1450) and in 2005 and 2006 in Luxembourg and Budapest (Sigismundus Rex et Imperator) as well as in Prague (Karl IV. Kaiser von Gottesgnaden: Kunst und Repräsentation des Hauses Luxemburg 1310–1437).
However, the case of the pilgrimage church in Ptujska Gora in Slovenia (about 1400), for example, with its architecture and sculpture of the highest quality for instance indicates that the researches of the international level have not included all the activities in the peripheral territories. These activities pose special problems, which cannot be detected by focusing on leading centers with courts of secular and ecclesiastical rulers.
The proposed colloquium will provide ample opportunity to present artistic production outside major, and much better known, centers, where several known monuments of high quality are preserved; it is an opportunity to attempt solving the questions connected with the transfer of stylistic modes and iconographic motifs.
We now call for papers addressing the four themes listed below. Each presentation should last no more than 20 minutes followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer period. Postgraduate students and junior scholars are invited to present posters.
The deadline for submission of abstracts (300 words) is Monday, May 10, 2010.

Principal Themes:
I. Centers and peripheries around 1400: economical and social conditions and cultural contexts of artistic production inside and outside “Europe of the regions”.
II. Private and collective patronage, representation, imitation, and devotional practices.
III. Migration of artists and/or artistic models? Local workshops’ practices and procedures.
IV. Global respondents: later reception and perception of the art and architecture from around 1400.
