Book Synopsis

Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder (1722-1789) was an important figure for Kassel. His decades of activity as court painter to the landgraves of Hesse-Kassel meant that many works by him are still kept in the historic buildings and various collections of the Museumslandschaft Hessen Kassel today. The rediscovery and restoration of three ceiling paintings from the former landgraves’ palatial residence in Kassel spotlight his work as decorative artist. Their programmatic orientation and position within Tischbein's activities as an interior designer for the Hessian landgraves is the subject of the present volume, supplemented by an art-technological contribution on the latest restoration project.

  • Object history in art history and art technology
  • New research on the landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel
  • Anniversary of Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder
