| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research focuses on paintings done with special supports in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, especially the works of northern European painters. It examines the historical context in which metal and stone plates came to be used as painting support. Through this examination, the research ascertains that metal and stone plate oil paintings were invented in Italy, and northern painters who were active in Italy, such as Bartholomeus Spranger and Hans von Aachen, played a significant role in promoting these new forms of painting in Northern Europe. The research discusses the preferences of themes in these paintings, the symbolic meaning which the materials added to the painted image, and the specific manner of displaying these paintings. The research concludes the diversification of painting forms is a unique phenomenon of Mannerism, where painters experimented with various kinds of materials to use as painting supports and created novel and rare pictorial works.
