Februar 1443 in Klausenburg, Siebenb�rgen; � 6. April 1490 in Wien), war von 1458 bis 1490 K�nig von Ungarn und von Kroatien, von 1469 bis 1490 (Gegen-)K�nig von B�hmen und Eroberer weiter Teile der Habsburgischen Erblande, die er von 1485 bis 1490 von Wien aus beherrschte. � (wiki) // . Petrarch was the father of Humanism, whose ideas on painting, sculpture and architecture are discussed in Chapter I. In the revival of Antique art Petrarch considered the patron's role decisive, therefrom his preoccupation with the theory of patronage. Chapter II deals with the life and works of the four Humanists in Matthias' Court who studied the various aspects of art. In the treatment of the sources listed in the Appendices, the author directs attention to the critical analysis of Antique texts by the Humanists. In Chapter III, development of the Humanist concept of the royal residence is presented. The fact that Matthias' attention - who never visited Italy -- turned towards architecture and that, by inviting Italian masters, was able to create real all'antica architecture in Hungary attests to the decisive influence of the Humanists (primarily of Bandini). This original work (also based on research by Baxandall, Gombrich, Kristeller, Spencer and others) provides answers to problems about the relationship between Humanism and Renaissance art, raising new aspects of approach at the same time. � (Verlagstext) / INHALT : Preface (T.
