Abstracts

EN

The beginnings of Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen’s (1738 – 1822) more intensive interest in art and art collecting are associated with his stay in Bratislava (former Pressburg) from 1766 to 1780 (after the appointment to the position of the Governor and Chief Captain of Hungary by Empress Maria Theresa in 1765), and his fascination with the ideas of the French Enlightenment and Freemasonry. The article is primarily concerned with the social and cultural values which shaped Albert’s taste and his preferences in the period, when he renovated, built and furnished his residence at Bratislava Castle (including Italian, German, Dutch and Flemish artefacts).
