Dive into the world of the Baroque and discover patron saints, vanitas motifs, and unique art treasures. An exciting tour on faith, superstition, and popular piety in the historic DomQuartier Salzburg.
This special guided tour through the DomQuartier sheds light on the Baroque veneration of "heavenly helpers" – patron saints who provided comfort and support in a time marked by wars, plagues, and famines. The focus is on vanitas and memento mori motifs, which, as artistic expressions, address the transience of life and create a tension with the "carpe diem" ideal: the reminder to consciously shape earthly existence.
Unique objects such as devotional items and votive offerings make the connection between faith, superstition, and popular piety tangible. The exhibits tell of the appreciation of saints, but also of the fears and hopes of people in the Baroque era. The tour offers insights into the cultural and religious significance of these treasures and their role in the everyday life of the period.
