Umetniška dela kot vojni plen

Tošnjak, Špela (author), Mahnič, Katja (mentor)

Namen zaključne seminarske naloge je predstaviti problematiko umetnin, odtujenih v vojnem času. V krajšem zgodovinskem pregledu bom izpostavila, kdaj je ta praksa postala družbeno nesprejemljiva. Problematiko bom obravnavala tudi glede na sedanjost, ko se ponovno odpirajo vprašanja o odtujenih umetnostnih delih, ki jih hranijo v muzejih po svetu. Svoje ugotovitve iz literature bom podkrepila s predstavitvijo primera umetnostnih del, ki so jih med drugo svetovno vojno Italijani odnesli iz samostanov in cerkva v Istri. Izpostavila bom specifičnost te odtujitve in poskuse povrnitve v prvotno stanje.

• Title: Works of Art as Spoils of War

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to present the issue of art looted in times of war. Through a brief historical review, I will pinpoint the moment when the practice became socially unacceptable. I will also address the issue with regard to the present, when the questions regarding works of art located in museums all around the world are being reopened. I will support my literature- based findings with the presentation of an example of works of art that were removed from monasteries and churches in Istria during the Second World War by Italians. I will point out the specificity of this case of alienation and the attempts to restore it to its original state.
