Johann Peter Molitor (1702–1757) and the “Rococo” in Bohemia and Central Europe
Taking the German experience of the painter Johann Peter Molitor (1702–1757) and his later stay in Krakow as example, the project focuses on the mutual relationship of the then contemporary art
happenings in Bohemia and the wider Central European region. Through a methodological analysis of the various ways of how the term “Rococo“ comes to be defined and used, it aims to clarify the place of Molitor’s work in the broader narrative of the history of art in Bohemia.
