Visions of the Courtly Body

The Patronage of George Villiers, First Duke of Buckingham, and the Triumph of Painting at the Stuart Court

About this book

George Villiers, erster Herzog von Buckingham, war als Vertrauter und GĂŒnstling gleich zweier englischer Könige – James' I. und seines Sohnes Charles' I. – politisch so einflussreich und umstritten wie im Europa des beginnenden 17. Jahrhunderts sonst vielleicht nur Kardinal Richelieu. Peter Paul Rubens und Anthonis van Dyck erhielten die AuftrĂ€ge zu einer Folge von Portraits, mit welchen der Herzog dieser Wahrnehmung ein selbstgeschaffenes Bild seiner Person entgegenzusetzen suchte. Mit diesem Band nimmt die Autorin erstmals eine zusammenhĂ€ngende Betrachtung der intensiven Sammler- und Auftraggeberschaft Buckinghams vor, welche die Kunstpolitik des Hofes maßgeblich beeinflussen und fĂŒr eine Neubewertung der Malerei und visuellen Kultur im frĂŒhneuzeitlichen England verantwortlich zeichnen sollte.
