Abstract

The most prominent period of Hungarian history in arts and science was during the reign of King Matthias (1443-1490). His humanist upbringing, his education and his political successes made him a renowned ruler of his time. In parallel with the emergence of Italian early Renaissance gardens, royal and ecclesiastical gardens were established in the Kingdom of Hungary. The numerous links well characterise and explain the affinity between early Renaissance gardens in Italy and Hungary. Alongside the king's bountiful vegetable gardens and the gardens of the clergy, revelry is combined with Renaissance architecture to satisfy new desires. By marking the sites of Matthias' buildings and well-known gardens on a map using a variety of sources, we can uncover a significant landscape heritage. Some of the gardens he created, together with his palaces and villas, are located around the Danube, on its banks. Others are along the road leading to Vienna. The Danube was one of the safest and most important communication roads of the time. Matthias, following in the footsteps of his ancestors, and similarly to his contemporaries, had a magnificent houseboat built. He travelled from Buda to his various residences in this boat, Bucentaurus. Interpreting the surviving descriptions and comparing them with contemporary portraits, it is possible to distinguish different royal residences.
