About this book

George Villiers, erster Herzog von Buckingham, war als Vertrauter und Günstling 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 Aufträge 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 zusammenhängende Betrachtung der intensiven Sammler- und Auftraggeberschaft Buckinghams vor, welche die Kunstpolitik des Hofes maßgeblich beeinflussen und für eine Neubewertung der Malerei und visuellen Kultur im frühneuzeitlichen England verantwortlich zeichnen sollte.
