Ein erster Überblick über englisch-deutsche Kunstkontakte im Zeitraum 1660–1727: Künstler- und Objektmobilität, Reisenarrative, Kunstaufträge mit Bezug zum Hosenbandorden und deutsch-englische Kontakte in der Monumentalmalerei

This article gives the first overview of a hitherto almost unexplored field, British-German artistic exchange in the period between 1660 and 1727. This period was characterized by a dynastic crisis of the Stuart monarchy that finally led to the establishment of the Hanoverian dynasty in Great Britain. The text focuses on five fields of inquiry: (1) the discussion of works of art and architecture in travel narratives, (2) artistic commissions related to the Order of the Garter, (3) travelling artists and the careers of German artists who settled permanently in England, (4) the movement of objects from Britain to Germany and vice versa, (5) the depiction of German-English contacts and the cross-cultural reception of aesthetic models in monumental painting.
