Profane Wandmalerei im Raum Bozen um 1400: Mit einem Katalog der profanen Wandgemälde des Mittelalters im historischen Tirol

Within the history of European art, the medieval secular wall painting of the Tyrolean region is of outstanding importance. This is based on various factors, for example the early dating as well as the extent and relatively good state of preservation of numerous cycles. Within the surviving corpus, the profane wall paintings that were executed around 1400 in the city of Bolzano and its immediate surroundings occupy a special position. There is evidence of extraordinarily extensive and high-quality production around this time, some of which has received little attention so far. This dissertation offers the first art-historical study to treat the Bolzano examples of profane mural painting in its entirety and complexity and to make it accessible to the interested public.

Entwerfen und Verwerfen: Planwechsel in Kunst und Architektur des Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit. Festschrift für Matthias Untermann zum 65. Geburtstag

With his multifaceted work as an art historian, medieval and building archaeologist, Matthias Untermann has made a particular contribution to the study of medieval architecture and its semantics. Not only the objects of his research are frequently characterized by changes of plans, but also his own career: In 2000, Matthias Untermann became a professor of art history at Heidelberg University after having worked as a monument conservator for 15 years. For his 65th birthday, friends, colleagues and companions honour him with this collection of 55 essays, which reflect this change of plans by means of interdisciplinary collaboration.
