The house and its honour - Macht and Herrschaft in images and heraldic representations of the elites. (1300-1700) (21)

• Subject Area: Art History
• Term: from 2016 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 257731206

The sub-project is devoted to the subjects of power and Herrschaft in late medieval and early modern images (with a special focus on secular wall paintings) as well as heraldic representations (including heraldic connoted pictures, objects, performative acts and architectonical structures). The sub-project thereby focusses on elites who participate in (house-related) discourses on Herrschaft and order with images and heraldic ensembles, and who at the same time attempt to locate themselves within their own social fabric.
