Title: The
Illuminated Chronicle (Chronicon Hungariae Pictum or Chronica
de Gestis Hungarorum) represents the international artistic style of the
royal courts in the court of Lajos (Louis) the Great. The illuminated decoration
of the manuscript was executed in Hungary before 1360 and it proves the
knowledge of the Hungarian life, historical traditions, and legends. The 147 pictures of the Chronicle are great source of information on medieval Hungarian cultural history, costume, and court life in the 14th century. |
