Description: |
Dr Astrid Swenson (Brunel University)
Context in International Context The paper will look at how ideas about the 'right' context for art and architecture evolved in relation to international relations since the French Revolution. The Revolutionary Wars and their unprecedented destruction and art looting had a formative effect on debates about context (not least in forcing the internationally community to find a common solution towards either accepting the change of context or creating the mechanisms for restitution), but the debates continued long after the Congress of Vienna affecting the definition of art and heritage till the present. |
