For quite a long time medieval works were not always recognized as art. They found their way into museums only with resistance, at first even as proof of their inferiority. Creating suitable presentations of these works remains a challenge for curators and collections to this day. This analysis of presentation methods, in the context of exhibitions, traces how museums have treated the Middle Ages from the early modern period to the present, and investigates a change in perception towards medieval imagery. It provides insights into the tasks and claims of the current museum culture, our concepts of art, and our ideas about the right way of dealing with history.

Caroline Louise, Margravine of Baden (1723-1783), who had married Charles Frederick, Margrave of Baden-Durlach in 1751, was a prominent European collector. She made the young royal seat of Karlsruhe into a place of lively intellectual exchange through her international network of correspondents. Her collecting was distinguished by her enlightened esprit, love of art and skillful handling within the French, Dutch and German art markets. The presentation of the margravine's own Mahlerey Cabinet, containing more than 200 paintings, is at the heart of a "large country exhibition." Caroline Louise was fond of Dutch masters of the Golden Age and the art of her contemporaries in France. She was able to acquire important works by Teniers, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Dou, Boucher, Vernet and Chardin. Her development from an amateur collector into a respected connoisseur is also traced. As her own skillful pastels and drawings indicate, she also achieved a high artistic level as a pupil of Liotard. The accompanying collection of essays contains 20 scholarly contributions by renowned authors that were presented at a conference in Karlsruhe in 2014.

The export of classical artworks and the works of the Old Masters from Rome and Italy is a theme that has now been widely dealt with in studies on collecting. However, there was a need for a different approach, aimed at analysing the motivations, dynamics and outcomes of an apparently less conspicuous development, the export of artworks in the years from the papacy of Pius VI until the unification of Italy, when Rome was still perceived as the Academy of Europe and not only as the main place of supply for collections and museums. The contributions to this volume are entrusted to single authors who engage in a collective discussion analysing the facts of the departure and arrival of the objects produced in Rome, offering a reading of the many facets of a historiographic problem faced for the first time on the occasion of the Maestà di Roma exhibition (Rome 2003). Developed out of research conducted by members of three Universities (Calabria, Milan and Roma Tre), open to scholars from different backgrounds and different generations, whose central theme was the export of the “Roman model” to Europe and the Americas, Roma fuori di Roma today brings together the results, first presented at an international conference (Rome, The British School at Rome, 2011) and subsequently expanded and revised. The phenomenon is interpreted through the testimonies of documentary and printed sources, with the activities of foreign merchants and travellers continuing the tradition of the Grand Tour in the mid-19th century. The volume illustrates the truly universal reception of coeval Roman models of painting, sculpture and even the development of new European architectural languages, including the industry of the applied arts and the role of sacred art, which had a convinced advocate in Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti, the future Pius IX.
