Europe on the Move. Art Wanderings in the Age of Enlightenment
The author proposes a fragmentary look at the map of artistic Europe in the Enlightenment. He follows the movements of artists, mainly painters, between different centres, traces motivations behinds migrations, draws out the importance of newcomers for the flourishing of “national” schools in various European countries. He paints the map of a different “Grand Tour” – a journey during which artists sought important, prestigious commissions and earnings as well as new impressions, models and inspiration, valuable education and good company. A sketch of the network of relationships on this map can be an important element in reflection on the birth of modern European culture.
Keywords: the Enlightenment, modernity, Europe, travels, mobility, painters, artists.
