In this study, Marina Belozerskaya re-establishes the importance of
the Burgundian court as a center of art production and patronage in
early modern Europe. Beginning with a historiographical and
theoretical overview, she offers an analysis of contemporary
documents and patterns of patronage, demonstrating that Renaissance
tastes were formed through a fusion of international currents and
art works in a variety of media. Among the most prestigious were
those emanating out of the Burgundian court, which embodied
prevailing contemporary values: magnificence in appearance,
ceremony and surroundings, chivalry inspired by Greco-Roman
antiquity, and power manifested through ingenious ensembles of
luxury arts. The potency of this 'Burgundian mode' fostered a
pan-European demand for its arts and their creators, with rulers in
England, Germany, Spain and Italy itself eagerly acquiring
Burgundian art works. This interdisciplinary study of the
Burgundian arts provides a new paradigm for further inquiry into
the pluralism and cosmopolitanism of the Renaissance.
