Rudolf Eitelberger von Edelberg had a specific relationship with the issue of heritage care as we understand this concept today. This relationship corresponds to the time when he was forming his opinion about heritage properties, more precisely the 1840-60's, when the foundations of art history and related heritage care as a special discipline were emerging. He did not live to see its creation at the end of the 19th century - he died in 1885 but was still associated with the history of heritage care (through Max Dvořák). Eitelberger honored historicism in art and in heritage care (restorational purism); his progressive importance lies in his precise...

Two years after the death of Rudolf Eitelberger von Edelberg, Wilhelm Schram gave a lecture on his life at a meeting of the Historical and Statistical Section of the Moravian-Silesian Economic Society on 28 March 1887, inviting the Moravian public to create a memorial plaque on his native home. This happened the very next year. Two hundred years later, we recall Rudolf Eitelberger again, from a variety of perspectives: once as an art historian, secondly as a conservationist, and finally as a theorist of the 19th century artistic and industrial movement. In this paper we will briefly discuss his origins in Moravia, and by comparing the concept of art...

The Philosophical Background of Eitelberger's Art

The beginnings of the Vienna School of Art History are primarily associated with the requirement of exploring original works of art and determining their individual characteristics from individual observation. A study devoted to the philosophical origins of Rudolf Eitelberger's work shows that the new empirically based art of science (Kunstwissenschaft) did not exclude an interest in philosophical aesthetics and art theory. At the beginning of his professional career, Eitelberger devoted himself intensively to the study of German idealist philosophy, especially to the works of George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. He was involved with a circle of young thinkers...

Rudolf Eitelberger as an ideologist of the Vienna Ringstrasse

Jindřich Vybíral

Zprávy památkové péče 2018, 78(2):119-123 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2018.2.05  

This study looks for the political implications of the architectural forms of the Vienna Circle Class, with the support of published texts by Rudolf von Eitelberger. He argues with the idea that there exists a close link between Austrian politics and architecture, as was thought by culture historian Carl Schorske. It raises the general question as to whether the various stylistic modes of the architecture of historicism can be interpreted as identifying signs of horizontal or vertical loyalties and whether the plurality of aesthetic codes ruling in the architecture of the monarchy can be interpreted as a parallel to the cultural and linguistic heterogeneity...

"Spiritual organism permeated by art": Rudolf Eitelberger and the city planning according to artistic principles

Martin Horáček

Zprávy památkové péče 2018, 78(2):124-129 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2018.2.06  

This study discusses the involvement of Rudolf Eitelberger in the debate on the optimal form of a modern city. It concentrates on his key text on the subject, his lecture "Über Städteanlagen und Stadtbauten", printed in 1858. Its content is recapitulated, and some essential elements of the author's argumentation are underlined as an anchoring in history and reference to ancient and medieval habits, keeping parallel with the present with an emphasis on the impetus for the future architectural development of Vienna as well as sharp insights into the benefits of cultivated construction and the motivation of the population. A generation later, his pupil,...

Franz Ficker - before Rudolf Eitelberger. The instruction of history and theory of fine arts at the University of Vienna before the foundation of art history

Tomáš Hlobil

Zprávy památkové péče 2018, 78(2):130-135 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2018.2.07  

Rudolf Eitelberger, and later Eitelberger's literature, give the impression that prior to his work at the University of Vienna, history and the theory of visual arts was not a subject of study. The following study, based on available sources, shows that Franz Ficker (1782-1849), a native of Nebovazy in north Bohemia, a graduate of the University of Prague, then a professor of several Czech gymnasia, a professor of classical literature and aesthetics at the Lyceum in Olomouc from 1816, a professor of aesthetics and history of arts and sciences at the University of Vienna from 1823 is responsible for the oldest provable instruction of fine arts theory...

Eitelberger's pupils and the Olomouc Baroque

Pavel Zatloukal

Zprávy památkové péče 2018, 78(2):136-142 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2018.2.08  

The Viennese-Olomouc book-maker and book publisher Karl Graeser and the publishing of a part of the theoretical work by Rudolf Eitelberger von Edelberg played a decisive role in the mediation of significant and important cultural stimuli in Olomouc, Eitelberger's birthplace. It brought two of Eitelberger's pupils here. The art historian Albert Ilg gave a lecture here in 1890 in which the local audience became familiarized with Baroque art, which up to then had been shunned. The architect and urban designer Camillo Sitte, to whom Graeser published his fundamental theoretical work, was intensely and systematically involved in Olomouc in the decade of...

Eitelberger's Successor Jacob von Falke and the Art Industry

At the time when Rudolf Eitelberger (1817-1885) was the director of the Austrian Museum of Art and Industry (Österreichische Museum für Kunst und Industrie), his closest professional colleague was Jacob von Falke (1825-1897). In the Museum, Falke held the position of a collector for many years and was also the vice-director. When Eitelberger died on 17 April 1885, they were in close working contact with each other up to the last few moments. As referred to by the National Sheets (Národní listy) on 21 April 1885, Falke was among others who gave the burial speech at the central cemetery in Vienna, and subsequently published in the Wiener Zeitung an obituary...

Chinese chambers in Bohemia and Moravia: wall decorations

Lucie Olivová

Zprávy památkové péče 2018, 78(2):151-158 | DOI: 10.56112/zpp.2018.2.10  

The "Chinese fashion", which found expression in the construction of Chinese gardens and interiors in aristocratic residences, also penetrated the Czech lands during the 18th century. At the beginning of this essay, the article illuminates the broader contexts that promoted this trend and indicates the basic sources from which chinoiserie emerged: imported luxury goods and informative books about China. From here, we move on to the actual theme of the study, i.e. wall decorations created by local decorators. Chinese wallpapers are left aside for now. A survey of approximately twenty locations has revealed that the concept and design of decoration can...
