Ursula Jüngst and Tiepolo: A Dialogue of Color, Rhythm, and Light

At the Martin von Wagner Museum of the University of Würzburg, historical imagery and contemporary painting meet in the special exhibition Ursula Jüngst: Tiepolo | The Rhythms of the World. The works of the artist from Miltenberg engage in an intense dialogue with Giambattista Tiepolo's famous frescoes and offer a new perspective on art, space, and perception.

When Historical Frescoes Inspire New Images

Ursula Jüngst was already impressed by Tiepolo's staircase fresco in the Würzburg Residence during her childhood. For the exhibition, she returned to Würzburg multiple times between 2024 and 2026 and consciously re-engaged with the ceiling painting. From this artistic encounter emerged works that combine historical references with an open, breathing language of forms.

Color as Moving Rhythm

The exhibition showcases paintings in which elongated, slightly curved brushstrokes become universal modules. From these shapes, elastic compositions develop that evoke elementary particles, cosmic order, and the rhythm of the living. The changing perspectives of the images invite viewers to shed familiar habits of seeing and fully engage with color, movement, and atmosphere.

Between Darkness and Hope

Jüngst's works revolve around forces, interactions, and the relationship of humanity to the entirety of the world. The artist describes her work as a painting against sorrow, pain, and darkness. Rather than a purely socially critical interpretation, the exhibition focuses on encouragement, brightness, and the healing possibilities of aesthetic design.

A Special Event Experience in the Small Gallery

The Small Gallery of the Martin von Wagner Museum provides a concentrated setting for this extraordinary encounter between contemporary art and art history. The calm event atmosphere supports intensive contemplation and transforms the exhibition visit into a decelerated cultural moment in the heart of Würzburg. The event planning is aimed at art enthusiasts, students, cultural travelers, and all visitors who wish to experience painting from new perspectives.

Conclusion: Art as an Invitation to New Seeing

The exhibition connects Tiepolo reception, contemporary painting, and art-historical expertise into an impressive event experience. Those who want to directly experience the relationship between historical imagery and modern color composition will find an inspiring place for focused encounters with art in the Small Gallery.
