Carlo Innocenzo Carlone: The Fine Arts protected by the Sovereign‘s generosity, preparatorysketch for a ceiling fresco, red chalk
Giambattista Pittoni: Rinaldo and Armida, modello for a “supraporte”, oil on canvas
The Salzburger Barockmuseum is the only European museum dedica-ted exclusively to the “birth of a work of art”: the preparatory sketch.Why? – Because it is the preparatory sketch which reflects that firstcreative moment: when the artist, no matter how he would berestricted by all later instructions, followed his spontaneous artisticidea. And consequently the sketches may well be regarded as the
“originals of the originals”. In particular during the 17th and 18thcenturies – which were so enthusiastic about everything endowedwith a sensuous dramatic aspect – such display of daring virtuositywas highly esteemed and often collected. It is, therefore, ratherdifficult to distinguish between the sketches meant for collectors andthose used as a basis for further artistic work in the workshops. Thefirst idea (drawing) was followed by a preparatory sketch in oil or wood or terracotta – the “bozzetto” – or even by a “modello”, anaccomplished, though smaller, work of art. The former private collection of Kurt and Else Rossacher was trans-formed into a foundation in 1970. It has been kept as the Salzburger
Barockmuseum since 1973 and today holds almost 200 bozzetti and150 drawings. The executed works of art of about 50 preparatorysketches are known. In some cases the work of art itself has beendestroyed, the preparatory sketch thus becoming our sole source ofknowledge.Among the most important artists displayed at the SalzburgerBarockmuseum are: Luca Giordano, Peter Paul Rubens, Giambatti-sta Tiepolo, Joh. Michael Rottmayr, Paul Troger, Joh. Martin Krem-serschmidt, Franz A. Maulbertsch and the sculptors GianlorenzoBernini, Michael Zürn d. J., Ignaz Günther and Joh. Baptist Straub.The collection of graphic arts holds such outstanding artists as

Carlo Carlone, Mar-tino Altomonte, DanielSeiter, F. A. Dirr and J. A.Feuchtmayr.The four to five special exhi-bitions per year focus on the graphic arts and on the artists’craftsmanship. The Museum is located in the building which formerly was theorangery of the Mirabell Gardens. In the so-called “garden-room”the Museum, therefore, displays J. A. Danreiter’s etchings of theGardens, showing how the latter appeared around 1725/28.Owing to its felicitous situation in the Gardens of the MirabellPalace – with the view over theBaroque silhouette ofthe City – the origi-nal and true Ba-roque spirit canbe felt instant-aneously when youenter the Museum.
