A unique, enigmatic masterpiece<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1465459121094{padding-right: 20% !important;padding-left: 20% !important;}”]The purpose of this unique piece of art still remains a<\/p>\n

matter of speculation.<\/p>\n

Was it a model collection for an itinerant artist, who was just as familiar with Bohemian as with French and Italian art, or was it destined for a patron \u2013 a gift of thanks or an incentive for the patron to commission more art in order to secure the artist\u2019s livelihood? We do not know.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4933″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1446490337349{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1446492142925{padding-top: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1446490903113{padding-right: 20% !important;padding-left: 20% !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Maple tablets and a stamped leather case \u2013 a precious frame for a magnificent work of art<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1446491064252{padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

This is a truly extraordinary piece, not least due to its outer appearance: a total of 14 small maple tablets lie protected in a valuable, dark stamped leather case. Each of the tablets is set with four fine, detailed drawings that are placed in small frames. The tablets were originally arranged in a fanfold, and the valuable leather case had been designed to protect the valuable contents, with a strap that probably served to carry it around as a bag.<\/p>\n

Elaborate portraits and mythical creatures<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1446493802069{padding-right: 20% !important;padding-left: 20% !important;}”]All 56 drawings show the entire brilliance of the artist, 39 present magnificent and extremely individualistic portraits reminiscent of the quality of Duerer (two of which have been added at a later stage, during the second quarter of the 15th century), 16 are depictions of animals and mythical creatures and an almost Expressionist looking skull. One particularly fascinating feature is the only full-length drawing of a spider which, like all the other depictions of this virtuoso artist, brilliantly emphasises the small pictorial motif against a totally alienating greenish-grey ground.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4960″ alignment=”right” css=”.vc_custom_1446535101409{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1446534927389{padding-top: 10% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1446534748493{padding-right: 20% !important;padding-left: 20% !important;}”]A wide array of different head types underlines the link with sacral\/Christian themes \u2013 such as Mary Mother of God, the angel of the Annunciation, the Infant Christ, the Crucified or the Apostles \u2013 and the profane world of the court. And between all the spaceless heads and busts the viewer discerns a charming young boy looking into a water basin: it must be Narcissus who due to the beauty of his own reflection was definitely a widely used motif in 15th-century painting. The whole universe of the outstanding \u201cSoft Style\u201d had been especially designed to evoke astonishment amongst viewers and to promote the skills of their creator \u2013 today just as well as 600 years ago.<\/p>\n

The Vienna Model Book is a late testimony to what is now commonly referred to as the King Wenceslas School, and in this capacity it is the sum of what Bohemian art has brought forth since the period of Emperor Charles IV and Peter Parler. At the same time it constitutes a link to later paintings of the 15th century.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1446535191324{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 5% !important;padding-bottom: 5% !important;background-color: #f4f4f4 !important;}”][vc_column width=”2\/12″][vc_empty_space height=”1px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1446493688614{padding-right: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

A medieval artist and illuminator presenting his skills<\/h4>\n

This wonderful masterpiece so unique in its kind is now being made accessible to the public in the form of a faithful and genuine facsimile edition. The edition provides a selected circle of collectors with the opportunity to experience a great work of art in a small format, well before the Vienna Model Book returns to form one of the main attractions at the reopening of the Kunstkammer in the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna at the end of 2012.<\/p>\n

Delicate miniatures of unsurpassed quality in a unique packing<\/h4>\n

The 56 pen drawings created on greenish paper, heightened in white and red and mounted on foldable wooden tablets (each 9.5 cm in height and 9 cm in width), all come in a leather case. They were made from around 1410 to 1420 in Bohemia and Austria. The drawings perhaps served as a model collection for an itinerant artist. The depictions of 56 heads, bust portraits as well as animals and mythical creatures show Bohemian, French and Italian influences, providing a valuable example of the immensely rich and elaborate \u201cInternational Style\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″ css=”.vc_custom_1446493710903{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”1px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The commentary volume<\/h4>\n

The commentary to the Vienna Model Book was authored by Dr. Maria Heisen from the Commission for Palaeography and Codicology of Manuscripts at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and researcher at the Institute of Art History at the University of Vienna. In the appendix, Prof. Dr. Eberhard K\u00f6nig explains the significance and role that model books played in medieval art.<\/p>\n

The edition<\/h4>\n

Facsimile edition of the Model Book at the Kunstkammer in the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna, shelf-marked KK 5003\/5004. The edition has been limited to a total of 800 copies worldwide. It comes in a true-to-the-original replica of the richly blind-tooled leather case.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
