Abstract

Der Beitrag stellt – und beantwortet – die Frage, ab wann in der frühneuzeitlichen Druckgraphik antike Skulpturen in mehrseitigen bzw. Rundum-Ansichten abgebildet werden. Besprochen werden Beispiele aus nordalpinen Publikationen von Petrus Apianus und Stephanus Winandus Pighius von 1534 bzw. 1559. Des Weiteren wird gezeigt, dass in Europa weniger geläufige Gegenstände aus ‚exotischen‘ Kulturen offenbar besonders dringend aufwendigere bildliche Wiedergaben erforderten. Ab der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts kamen dann vermehrt Publikationen auf, die zur Erfassung der formalen Eigenschaften antiker Skulpturen systematisch mehransichtige Abbildungen anboten.

Translation of abstract (English)

This article poses - and answers - the question of when ancient sculptures began to be depicted in multiple or all-round views in early modern prints. Examples from northern Alpine publications by Petrus Apianus and Stephanus Winandus Pighius from 1534 and 1559 respectively are discussed, and it is also shown that objects from “exotic” cultures that were less familiar in Europe were apparently in particularly strong need of more elaborate pictorial reproductions. From the second half of the 17th century onwards, more and more publications appeared that systematically offered multi-view illustrations to capture the formal characteristics of ancient sculptures.
