Ursula Jüngst and Tiepolo: An Exhibition Full of Light, Rhythm, and a Sense of the World
In the Small Gallery of the Martin von Wagner Museum, two artistic worlds come together starting from October 10, 2026: the baroque fresco art of Giambattista Tiepolo and the contemporary painting of Ursula Jüngst. The exhibition Ursula Jüngst: Tiepolo | The Rhythms of the World invites viewers to see familiar art with new eyes and to explore the inner movements of color, form, and space.
When Historical Imagery Gets Moving
Ursula Jüngst, who works in Barcelona and Nuremberg and originates from Miltenberg, has been fascinated by Tiepolo's famous staircase fresco in the Würzburg Residence since her childhood. For the special exhibition, she returned to Würzburg several times between 2024 and 2026. Her new works engage in a direct dialogue with the baroque masterpiece, making the connection between historical art and contemporary painting visible.
Color as the Rhythm of the Living
The exhibition focuses not only on motifs but also on forces, interactions, and proportions. Jüngst develops open and breathing compositions from elongated, slightly curved brushstrokes. Multi-sided dripping color threads and rotating canvases enhance the impression of movement. This creates an intense event atmosphere, where picture space and perception are constantly restructured.
Between Atom and Cosmos
The works revolve around the relationship of the individual person to the whole world. Instead of depicting humans as figures, Ursula Jüngst makes visible the forces and dimensions into which our existence is embedded. Her painting merges art historical reflection with a sensual experience of color and space – an event experience for art enthusiasts, curious explorers, and all those who want to engage in an unusual encounter with Tiepolo.
Brightness as an Artistic Attitude
Jüngst describes her work as a painting against sorrow, pain, and darkness. The images seek encouragement and hope, without ignoring the crises of the present. Damian Dombrowski, the director of the Modern Department of the Martin von Wagner Museum, classifies this connection as a form of Visual Healing. Thus, the exhibition not only has its art historical significance but also a directly emotional dimension.
Visit and Exhibition Experience
The special exhibition will be on view from October 3, 2026, to January 31, 2027, in the Small Gallery of the Martin von Wagner Museum. On Saturday, October 10, 2026, the exhibition will be open from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM. Admission is free. The event planning in the museum combines a focused exhibition visit with the unique atmosphere of the historical residence environment.
Conclusion: Visitors can expect an impressive connection between baroque art history, contemporary painting, and sensual color effects. Those wishing to rediscover Tiepolo and experience Ursula Jüngst's independent visual language will find an inspiring venue for a free art visit in Würzburg.
