Abstracts

EN

The author analyses the texts (source material) in relation to the contemporary reception of baroque wall paintings in the historic Hungarian Kingdom. At present there are known only a few relevant sources, especially theological interpretations and texts presenting aesthetic perception of the image in the liturgical space. One of these works is a chronicle of the Hungarian province of the Pauline order. This manuscript (kept in Országos Levéltár Budapest) includes the aesthetic and theological reflection from 1754 on the chancel vault frescoes of the Pauline pilgrimage church in Šaštín. The author combines three essential elements of ancient, trident and mannerist art theory: the concept of the Divine origin of artistic ideas; the idea of an art work, able to visualize God's majesty and initiation of piety.
