Abstract

Tamar Cholcman recent years there has been a renewed and growing interest in the ephemeral art of court festivals, state homages, funeral processions, and the art of the carnival. The tradition of ephemeral art flourished in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries. Its name was derived from the Greek ephemerios, meaning "for the duration of one day." Created for public events, such as triumphal processions, weddings, or court funerals, it encompassed visual arts of architecture, painting, and sculpture, and performing arts of theatre and music. Ephemeric Art l in its day and age was the expression of both artistic traditions of the Renaissance and traditions of court and state art. However, modern history has tended to judge its pictorial, architectural, and theatrical aspects as propaganda art, emphasizing its value to the study of political and cultural history, rather than discussing it in the context of art history. We should, instead, view the ephemeral art of festivals as an independent art form with specific, distinct characteristics derived from its particular form of temporal existence. Ephemeric Art should be regarded as a distinctive form of both fine art and court propaganda with not one but two facets, or even
