Seventeen contributions shed new and revealing light on the cultural identity of this Catholic-dominated core region of Europe, using the defining term ‘historism’ as the historiographical element that unifies the book’s four sections (Social and Church Historical Context, The Organisational Structure of Ecclesiastical Art, Centres of Art, ‘Grenzgänger’: between Theory and Praxis).
