The origins of the legal protection of heritage. Legislation on the safeguard of monuments and artworks issued in 15th- to 18th-century Europe.

Descripción del proyecto

La protección del patrimonio entre los siglos XV y XVIII en Europa

A principios del siglo XV, diversos países europeos establecieron un sistema de administración, protección, supervisión, conservación, mantenimiento, clasificación y registro de artefactos y monumentos en Europa. Sin embargo, carecemos de un historial sobre la legislación relativa a la protección del patrimonio en Europa. El equipo del proyecto LawLove, financiado con fondos europeos, analizará las leyes sobre la protección de obras de arte y monumentos promulgadas en los países europeos entre principios del siglo XV y finales del siglo XVIII. A través de un análisis comparativo de la legislación, y mediante una perspectiva jurídica e histórica del arte, se examinarán los sistemas establecidos en la Europa de principios de la Edad Moderna y de la Edad Moderna para proteger el patrimonio en los diferentes Estados. En LawLove se investigarán registros originales relacionados con la legislación, incluso documentos conservados en archivos e institutos de Europa.

Objetivo

LAWLOVE proposes an analysis of the laws on the protection of artworks and monuments that were issued in the European countries between early 1400s and late 1700s. The objective is to develop a comparative analysis of legislation through both a juridical and an art historical perspective, to understand the systems established in early-modern and modern Europe to administer, protect, supervise, conserve, maintain, classify and record what was thought of as “heritage” in various states.
Research will be carried out on original records related to legislation, including documents preserved in archives and institutes in Europe, and will involve an interdisciplinary approach to Art History, Cultural History, History of Restoration and Conservation, Legal History, Comparative Law, History of Heritage Legislation, and History of Administration.
Research objectives will include an understanding of: the conceptual core of legislation; the systems of administration/supervision prescribed by law; the legal instruments provided to implement the law.
Research results will include: a translation of the corpus of legislation into English; a study of the development of a consistent concept of “heritage”; a study of the practices established to administer, restore, safeguard, catalogue the heritage in 15th- to 18th-century Europe.
LAWLOVE will establish a new state-of-the-art and found a first history of legislation on the protection of the artefacts in Europe, which at the moment is completely lacking, dealing also with questions related to the EU policy-making on the preservation of the heritage.
A specific training-through-research will help the fellow to acquire: new research competencies; methodologies and expertise in new interdisciplinary areas; transferable skills; skills in project/financial management; writing/lecturing/communication skills. The fellow will refine her maturity and independence as academic, increasing her competitiveness for future career opportunities.
