Kategoria BISAC: Art >> History - Renaissance

Trotz Miasmen-Angst und Sittenstrenge war das Bad stets ein fester Bestandteil der fruhneuzeitlichen Hofkultur, der bislang nicht umfassend untersucht wurde. Die Beitrage widmen sich Architektur, Ausstattung und Funktion von Schlossbadern seit der italienischen Renaissance bis zur Franzosischen Revolution.

Neben noch bestehenden oder rekonstruierbaren Raumen geht es ebenso um Badedarstellungen in den Bildkunsten, wie etwa in den Gemalden...
