The Late 15th CenturyI. - CHARLES IV (1316-1378), HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR (1355-78)(Kaiser Karl IV)1316- Born, son of John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, and Elizabeth of Bohemia, grandson of the Emperor Henry VII. Christened Wenzel. Educated at the French court, beginning 1324, taking name Charles; engaged (age 7) to French Princess Blanche of Valois (1316-48). Marries her 1334; two daughters.1331-33- In Italy as Governor. Returns to Prague 1333, renovates the royal palace. Is named Margrave of Moravia.1343- Ernst von Pardubitz (Pardubice) becomes Bishop of Prague; Charles travels to the Papal court in Avignon (his old tutor had been elected Pope Clement VI in 1342). ObtainsClement's backing for his candidacy as Emperor, and has the Prague bishopric elevated toan archbishopric. Ernst von Pardubitz, the first archbishop in central Europe, commissions.THE GLATZ (or KLADZKO ) MADONNA. Ca. 1350 . (Berlin)1344- The French architect Matthew of Arras begins work on the new Prague Cathedral.THE GLATZ (Kladzko) MADONNA1The Glatz Madonna (Madonna of Kladzko),(ca. 1350, Berlin), a Madonna and Child in Majesty (compare earlier Italian examples by Giotto, Duccio or Cimabue). The painter is anonymous and probably of Bohemian or possibly French origin. Unusual features found in Italian examples are the characterization of Mary as Queen (with crown, sceptre and orb); the inclusion of tiny portrait of the Archbishop kneeling at foot of her throne; the exotic Near Eastern textiles; the beautiful but not strictly symbolic color choices (particularly the combination of rose red and orange for Mary's drapery). Her throne is identified as the Throne of Solomon by its two lions. Note also the influence of French Gothic in the figure proportions, and of antique Byzantine painting technique in the flesh areas, which have darkened over time.1346- Charles elected King of the Romans, at Rhense. His father, John of Luxembourg, now blind, killed by the English in Battle of Crecy. Coronation of Charles as King of the Romans in Bonn.1347- Death of the Emperor Ludwig the Bavarian. Charles crowned in Prague.21348- The Black Death strikes western Europe. Charles founds University in Prague (the Carolinum); lays cornerstone for the country fortress at Karlstein (Karlsteyn). Queen Blanche dies.1349- Charles marries Anna of the Palatinate, at Bacharach (on the Rhine). Is crowned in Aachen.1350- Formal display of the Imperial coronation regalia in Prague (possession of these automatically confers Imperial status on the owner). Founds Augustinian monastery in Prague, in honor of Charlemagne (who has now been declared a saint.) Donates golden bust of St. Charlemagne to Aachen.THE "FIRST BOHEMIAN STYLE": THE HOHENFURTH (Vyssi Brod) CYCLEThis group of paintings (ca. 1350-55) was a private commission from a member of the powerful and at times rebellious Rosemberck family, one f whom is seen kneeling in the corner of the Nativity scene, holding a model of the monastery chapel to which it was presented. Thus the commission is not directly relate to the Emperor himself, but the styleof the anonymous painter clearly shows the influence of the court. The Madonna of the Annunciation wears a crown and is enthroned, while Gabriel, outranked, kneels in her presence. The Mary of the Nativity reclines under a card-table shaped stable reminiscent of Giotto's Arena Chapel, but the landscape elements throughout the series are extremely ornamental, with an almost jigsaw puzzle-like configuration that is an exaggeration of Byzantine style. Joseph and the Midwife prepare the bath--a prefiguration of the future baptismal rite--and an angel dangles a banderole saying "Behold I bring you tidings of great joy" before the dazzled eyes of a shepherd. The same cycle includes an Adoration ofthe Magi, an Agony in the Garden--very interesting, featuring formulaic,
