Ursula Jüngst and Tiepolo: A Dialogue Between Light, Color, and Worldview

In the Small Gallery of the Martin von Wagner Museum, contemporary painting meets baroque fresco art. The exhibition Ursula Jüngst: Tiepolo | The Rhythms of the World showcases works by the artist from Miltenberg, who works in Barcelona and Nuremberg, in dialogue with Giambattista Tiepolo's famous staircase fresco in the Würzburg Residence.

When Historical Image Worlds Provide New Impulses

Ursula Jüngst has been engaging with Tiepolo's imagery since her childhood. For the exhibition at the Martin von Wagner Museum, she has intensely focused on the ceiling painting of the Residence during several visits to Würzburg between 2024 and 2026. A part of the works on display in the Small Gallery has emerged from this conscious seeing experience.

Color Forms Between Atom and Universe

Jüngst's painting employs elongated, slightly curved brushstrokes that blend into open, elastic, and breathing compositions. The images do not primarily tell stories but make forces, interactions, proportions, and dimensions tangible. An intense visual space emerges, where personal perception and universal order meet.

An Exhibition About Hope and Translucency

The works respond to the crises and catastrophes of the present without dwelling in darkness. Jüngst describes her artistic approach as painting against sorrow, pain, and darkness. Her luminous color movements oppose despair with a search for encouragement and hope. The exhibition experience combines art-historical context with an immediate sensual impact.

Experiencing Art History Live

The event planning of the Martin von Wagner Museum centers around the dialogue between old and new art. Visitors discover how a baroque fresco can shape the formal language of a contemporary painter. The exhibition is suitable for art enthusiasts, cultural travelers, and anyone looking for a quiet, inspiring museum visit in Würzburg.

Conclusion: A Luminous Dialogue in the Würzburg Residence
