The Age of Matthias Hunyadi, the Jagielloes

Room 5

This room presents the last fifty years of the medieval Hungarian Kingdom. The country threatened by the Ottoman Empire was linked to the Christian Europe in several ways through its policy and culture. In Matthias Hunyadi's (1458-1490 AD) court, the Italian Renaissance and the late Middle-European Gothic styles coexisted. This coexistence can be observed on the two seats that came from the same church.

Curiosities

	The royal coat of arms found on buildings and personal belongings does not necessarily refer to the procurer, but to the ruler under whose reign the work was finished. That is the how Mathias Hunyadi's coat of arms appears on the late-Gothic pew in Bártfa.
	The letter M on the decoratively painted shield used in King Matthias' army refers to the king himself.
	Commemorative coins were minted to the engagement of Louis II and Maria Habsburg in 1515.
	By inlaid works, Gothic towns were represented on Renaissance furniture.
