‎Eagles Looking East and West. Dynasty, Ritual and Representation in Habsburg Hungary and Spain‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 338 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:55 b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503581330.‎

‎Summary Symbolised by the 'double-headed eagle' looking East and West, the Habsburg dynasty constituted a universal power structure in the early modern era. The dynasty's Spanish and Austrian branches created a code of shared identity, one which also encompassed their religious piety and their ability to pitch the Austriacum Imperium against multiple enemies worldwide. The present volume investigates the construction of the dynasty's political image in two spheres, the Kingdom of Hungary and the Spanish monarchy, between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. Fifteen Hungarian, Czech and Spanish specialists offer comparative perspectives on the Habsburg era during this convulsive period of European history, addressing topics including diplomatic links, dynastic ritual and representation, and the Order of the Golden Fleece. In covering a wide range of themes, their contributions aim towards a better understanding of the emergence of new political attitudes in the Western world prior to the Enlightenment. Contributors to the volume include Cristina Bravo Lozano, V clav B??ek, N ra G. Et nyi, Alfredo Florist n Im zcoz, Rub n Gonz lez Cuerva, Borb la Guly s, Fanni Hende, J nos Kalm r, Zsolt K k nyesi, Zolt n Korp s, Pavel Marek, Tibor Monostori, and G za P lffy.

‎Parish and Pilgrimage Church of St Elizabeth in Ko'ice. Town, Court, and Architecture in Late Medieval Hungary,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Paperback, XII+292 p., 224 b/w ill., 220 x 280 mm. ISBN 9782503531090.‎

‎One of the most important building projects in late medieval Hungary was the reconstruction of the parish and pilgrimage church of St Elizabeth in Ko'ice (present-day Slovakia). The burghers of this prosperous, free royal town decided to rebuild their main church shortly before 1400, and work continued, with several interruptions, into the late fifteenth century. Along with the ambitious and unusual design that emerged, far-reaching artistic connections with centres such as Prague and Vienna ensure the church's exceptional value for architectural history - not only within Hungary, but in the Central European region as a whole. It is this value as an art historical document that the present work seeks to exploit. It approaches the church's fabric as a source of information about patrons, masons, and congregations, attempting to locate the dynamics behind design choices made. This necessitates a detailed reconstruction of the building enterprise itself, before the focus shifts to the impact of the St Elizabeth's project both in northern Hungary and further afield (Transylvania, Lesser Poland), allowing the town lodge's remarkable achievements be set in inter-regional context.

‎Mary of Hungary, Renaissance Patron and Collector : ‎

‎, Brepols 2020, 2020 232 p., 18 b/w ill. + 32 colour ill., 5 b/w tables, 210 x 270 mm, Paperback, English, Gender, Art and Culture. ISBN 9782503589480.‎

‎This collection of essays examines diverse facets of the cultural patronage and collecting of Mary of Hungary. Mary of Hungary?s extensive artistic patronage and the collections she formed of an array of artworks, objects and books were by no means an isolated phenomenon within the Habsburg dynasty. On the contrary, the Regent of the Netherlands and loyal adviser to her brother, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, emulated the examples of the Habsburg women who preceded her, and in turn provided an exemplar for those that came after. She continued the traditions, trends and practices her ancestors and peers had established, which had been initiated by female members of the Trast mara dynasty, most notably Isabel of Castile This collection of essays examines the cultural patronage of Mary of Hungary in the light of her multiple identities: a humanist-trained patron of the arts; a Habsburg princess closely implicated in the visual construction and projection of Charles V's political identity across the alliances and divisions of early modern Europe; and a female regent bound by the imperial, dynastic and political ideologies cultivated by the sixteenth-century Habsburg monarchs. Beyond forming one of the most important art collections of the European Renaissance and playing a prominent role in the patronage of the artists she received under her protection, Mary used art to construct an image of herself that undeniably contributed to the consolidation and dissemination of both her political legitimacy and that of her dynasty among the courts of Europe.‎
