RESEARCH PROJECT CORPUS VITREARUM -
MEDIEVAL AND MODERN STAINED GLASS
IN AUSTRIA. INVESTIGATIONS INTO AUSTRIAN
STAINED GLASS AFTER 1800 AS PART
OF A PILOT PROJECT AT THE AUSTRIAN
ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
Keywords: Gottlob Samuel Mohn, Carl Geyling, Georg
Mader, Johann Wirnstl, Imperial jubilee churches
The article presents current investigations at the Austri-
an Academy of Sciences into Austrian stained glass af-
ter 1800, beginning with the stained-glass windows for
Laxenburg, which were created in the 1820s by Gottlob
Samuel Mohn by order of the Austrian imperial family.
The iconographie concept unites these new windows with
medieval spolia into one unit. Further exciting new dis-
coveries of glass paintings from the art trade, including
two panels by the landscape painter and founder of the
Viennese glass workshop in 1841, Carl Geyling, supple-
ment the knowledge of the technical possibilities of glass
painting production in the nineteenth century. The draw-
ings and cartons that have been preserved in the archives
of the Tyrolean Glass Painting and Mosaic Institute in
Innsbruck (founded in 1861) also provide an impression
of the various stages of implementation from the first de-
sign to the finished window. The focus here is on a group
of glass paintings created in the 1860s and 1870s, when
Georg Mader was the artistic director of the company.
The windows of the Linz Cathedral, created between 1868
and 1924, also come from the same workshop. The impe-
rial window of Linz finally leads to the so-called imperial
jubilee churches, which have been preserved in all regions
of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
