Warriors of God. The fight for the right faith around Vienna in the 15th century.
The exhibition is about the Austrian response to the teachings of Jan Hus and the "Bohemian heretics" in the form of university debtates, preachings, and crusades waged by Duke Albrecht V against the Warriors of God (boží bojovníci).
Unlike in the Kingdom of Bohemia, whose churches and monasteries suffered severely from the destruction caused by the iconoclasts, the monastic reform supported by the sovereign himself and the unbroken patronage of the church had a positive effect on the development of the arts in the Vienna area. The magnificently illuminated codices, goldsmith's work, panel paintings and sculptures on display here are eloquent testimony to this.
The gigantic Albrecht Altar in the Sebastian Chapel of Klosterneuburg Abbey showing a first depiction of the Viennese skyline is an impressive monument to the triumph of the church, created shortly after the Hussite wars around 1435/40. The altar is named after Albrecht V, who reigned from 1411 to 1439 and who is already depicted here as king under Mary's protective mantle. Albrecht is little known today, unlike other Habsburgs, although he gained rule over Hungary, Bohemia and the Holy Roman Empire.
From its foundation in 1852, the library of the Victoria and Albert Museum acquired specimens of illumination, sometimes as artworks in their own right, but more often to serve as models and inspiration for British art workers. With over 2,000 manuscript cuttings, mainly purchased before 1910, the museum now holds one of the largest collections of this kind in the world. Featuring cuttings dating from the 12th to the 16th century and originating from Italy, the Netherlands, present-day Belgium, Germany and France, this display unfolds in two directions. It explores the journeys and uses of these fragments in the 19th century, in the hands of collector and curators, but also of copyists, restorers and forgers. It then discusses these cuttings in their original context of production, investigating the types of books they came from: choirbooks, bibles, books of hours, law textbooks, medical treatises and literary works.
