Adriaen de Vries Symposium, Stadthagen 16-18 April 2008

Summary/Abstract: Between 16th and 18th April 2008 the town of Stadthagen (Lower Saxony, Germany) hosted a group of ca. 100 specialists in sculpture on behalf of the symposium dedicated to a great master of mannerist bronze sculpture, Adriaen de Vries (1556– 1626). The main aim of the organisers of this meeting (Schaumburger Landschaft and Förderverein Renaissance Stadthagen) was to gather conservators, curators, art historians and historians to discuss the problems of the approaching conservation of the bronze sculptures of the Stadthagen mausoleum of Prince Ernst zu Holstein-Lüneburg, executed by Adriaen de Vries in the years 1618-1620. The conference was an occasion to recall and revise the results of the intensive studies on de Vries, which culminated in the series of the exhibitions in the years 1998-2000 in Amsterdam, Stockholm, Los Angeles and Augsburg. During two days of the proceedings the new results of the technical study on de Vries’s bronzes (J. Bassett) have been announced as well as new discovered and regained works of de Vries and his circle have been presented (a preparatory sketch for the Augsburg Mercury figure from the collection of Waldburg-Wolfegg, discovered by G. Krämer; the bronze figure of Mercury in the Castle Karlova Koruna in Chlumec nad Cidlinou, presented by E. Fučiková; a statuette – an equestrian portrait of the prince Heinrich Julius von Braunschweig, which came back to the collection of Herzog Anton Ulrich-Musem in Braunschweig, reported by Jochen Luckhardt). The twelve presented papers are going to be published already in the autumn 2008.Opublikowane01.06.2008Licencja
