- Summary
- The Thirty Years' War is one of the great traumas of European history. Yet even in this time of crisis--when starvation, death and disease brought immense suffering and economic hardship--art production did not come to a standstill. Works of art continued to serve as represen­tations of power, to be exchanged as diplomatic gifts, to document military actions, and to urge peace. As coveted items of booty, they often changed hands multiple times. Forty-two authors from eight countries elucidate the historical, religious-historical and cultural-historical aspects of the Thirty Years' War from a wide range of perspectives. This volume of essays is a mirror of European diversity. It emphasises the importance of our shared cultural heritage and draws parallels with present-day issues.
