Die Kunst im Umfeld Herzog Ludwigs des Reichen von Niederbayern (1450-1479)
Künstlerische Innovation und Intellektualisierung als Ergebnis der Rezeption der italienischen Frührenaissance
The court of Duke Louis IX of Bavaria-Landshut (reigned 1450-1479) was one of the most influential and dazzling courts of its time. Not least because of the Landshut wedding in 1475, it is still known today. Against the backdrop of humanist discourses, this book analyses selected architecture and works of art that were created at the court of Louis IX and in his circle. The focus of the analysis is on the transfer of these discourses and their artistic realisation. Using the example of the three core themes of humanism – the discovery of the individual, landscape, and history – it is shown how humanist discourses travelled from the university towns of northern Italy to Landshut through so-called learned councils and were reflected in art there.
