Baroque architecture in Erlangen
The artists included in this itinerary are some of the most prominent figures in the Central European Baroque and early Rococo: the architects Johann Blasius Santini-Aichel, Balthasar Neumann, and Kilian Ignaz, Leonhard, and Johann Dientzenhofer; the painters Johann Jacob Stevens von Steinfels, Johann Christoph Lischka, Jacob Anton Pink, Franz Anton Müller, Melchior Steidl, Johann Rudolf Byss, Johann Michael Rottmayer, Giuseppe Appiani, Cosmas Damian Asam, Franz Julius Lux; and the sculptors Mathias Bernhard Braun, and Egid Quirin Asam.
Because this program is a collaboration between the Institute of Art History in Prague and the Institute of Art History in Erlangen, the main program language is English. Perfect English is naturally not expected, and information can be provided in German and Czech when necessary. Advanced Bachelor students and MA students are invited to apply through StudOn.
