Abstract (en)

Warnke undertakes the reevaluation of the artist in early modern society by overturning the bourgeois revision of history undertaken in the last century that identified the cities and their citizens as the true promoters of culture and artistic creativity, while the courts were seen as enclaves of a restrictive cultural policy. He traces the historiography of such a persistent view, from its emergence after the French Revolution to the modern avant-garde, in order to set out the methodological premises of his study of the court in the late Middle Ages and early modern period in Europe as a mediating institution in the production of art and in the development of the role of the artist. Originally published in German as Hofkünstler: zur Vorgeschichte des modernen Künstlers (1985).
