Abstract

New Diplomatic History has turned into one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of research - especially with regard to early modern history. It has shown that diplomacy was not as homogenous as previously thought. On the contrary, it was shaped by a multitude of actors, practices and places. The handbook aims to characterise these different manifestations of diplomacy and to contextualise them within ongoing scientific debates. It brings together scholars from different disciplines and historiographical traditions.The handbook deliberately focuses on European diplomacy - although non-European areas are taken into account for future research - in order to limit the framework and ensure precise definitions of diplomacy and its manifestations. This must be the prerequisite for potential future global historical perspectives including both the non-European and the European world.

Abstract

Die Publikation widmet sich einem bislang wenig behandelten Thema der Handzeichnung und Druckgrafik: Wie wurde in der Zeit zwischen ca. 1500 und 1700 über die Schraffur reflektiert? Anhand von fünf Fallstudien werden zentrale Aspekte der künstlerischen Technik untersucht. Der Blick geht dabei über europäische Ländergrenzen hinweg und sucht nach Antworten auf diese Frage. Methodisch werden Ansätze der Diskursgeschichte und Rezeptionsästhetik vereint. Die gute Quellenlage eröffnet einen Schatz an historischen Texten, von denen viele erstmals in diesem Zusammenhang transkribiert und übersetzt wurden. Detaillierte Bildanalysen zeigen, wie das volle Potenzial der Schraffur allein in den Kunstwerken und ihrer Betrachtung aufgehen kann. Erste Monografie zur Technik der Schraffur in der Frühen Neuzeit Bisher unpubliziertes Bild- und Textmaterial This publication is devoted to a hitherto little examined aspect of hand drawing and printmaking: How was hatching reflected upon in the period between c. 1500 and 1700? Central aspects of the artistic technique are examined on the basis of five case studies. The perspective extends beyond European national borders and seeks answers to this question. Methodologically, approaches of discourse history and reception aesthetics are combined. The promising source situation discloses a treasure trove of historical texts, many of which were transcribed and translated for the first time in this context. Detailed image analyses show the full potential of hatching and the way it functions in the artworks and their viewing. First monograph on the technique of hatching in the early modern period Previously unpublished image and text material
