Maalingud Hõreda ja Vääna mõisahoones ja salapärane Paridom Jacob Neus
Paintings in the Hõreda and Vääna Manors and the Mysterious Paridom Jacob Neus

Summary/Abstract: Paridom Jacob Neus, known in Estonian art history mostly as the drawing teacher of the Baltic German artist and antiquarian Otto Magnus von Stackelberg (1786–1837), is a relatively little studied artist. His name has been tentatively linked to murals in two manors, Hõreda and Vääna. The research in Hõreda and conservation works in Vääna, offering opportunities for closer examination of the paintings’ technical structure and comparisons, motivated this article. This article attempts to compare the findings in Hõreda and Vääna, while placing them in the context of archival data related to the mysterious Paridom Jacob Neus.
