Festive Illuminations in 18th century Transylvania: Data on the Domestic History of Baroque Ephemeral Decorations

Summary/Abstract: As a result of the incorporation of Transylvania into the Habsburg Empire at the end of the 17th century, the use of various festive decorations in the principality increased significantly from the beginning of the following century. In our study, we would like to draw attention to the presence of this form of decoration in Transylvania by presenting some concrete examples of a less known ephemeral genre, the illumination. Most examples presented are related to the festive occasions of the royal family (birthdays, coronations), but also include the decorations during canonization in the Jesuit Order in Kolozsvár/Cluj, as well as the decoration of the wedding of members of the imperial elite in Nagyszeben/Sibiu.
