Summary/Abstract: The article introduces new perspectives on a fragment of painting micro history of the imperial Banat in which dualistic stylistic tendencies (baroque and neoclassical) mediate spiritual exercises through formulas created by the Viennese academic painter Hubert Maurer (1738-1818). Contamination with the ideology of an era in which reasoning and pragmatism formed a mentality free from the constraints of religious Counter-Reformation, underlines the quality of the creative act at the end of the century which for the Banat of Timișoara meant the beginning of modernity with everything that configures a period of extensive transformations.
