Abstract: The paper presents a little known full-length portrait of Karel of Žerotín from the Kunsthistorisches Museum’s holdings deposited at Ambras Castle Innsbruck and the relationship of the Czech nobleman to Archduke Ferdinand. Žerotín was the only Bohemian warrior whose armour, besides Jan Žižka’s sword, the archduke chose to include in his museum of arms and armours of famous heroes in the so-called Armamentarium Heroicum (Armoury of Heroes). It seems that they were not tied by war experience only, but also by a common passion for jousts and friendship. |
