| description: | Estonia is situated far from major art centres and was for centuries under foreign rule. On that basis one presumes, that there occurred a blending of different artistic styles, developing into a peculiar art-phenomenon, unparalleled in the Baltic Sea region. The goal of the proposed study is to discern elements of style in Estonian art heritage, adopted from international art metropolises from those locally generated, and to ascertain the reasons for and ways of the transformation of international stylistic developments here. The theme encompasses an interval from the 13th to the 19th century, further divided into two sub periods: medieval church art (13th to the first half of 16th century) and modern manor architecture (17th to the 19th century). |
