Művészettörténet- az emlékezés tudománya?
Ernő Marosi, art historian and Vice-President of HAS, treated art history as the science of remembering. He drafted various model-constructions that offer different understandings of the relationship of a piece of art and its interpretation, based on various key-concepts. It is characteristic of art history that its subject (i.e. the piece of art as a monument) may only be defined on the basis of one or another theoretical conviction. The manifold concept of the monument is described through the example of the Laokoon Group, the analysis of cathedrals and in connection with symbols of national heritage. All this is reflected in such debates as the one over restoration or conservation, and the location of the Holy Crown of Hungary.
