If you have booked your air travel through Academy Travel, we will organise a transfer from the airport to the hotel. Overnight Prague. (Canapes) Tuesday 18 September Prague Prague is one of Europe’s most beautiful cities and it has been the jewel in the crown of many a monarch, from the medieval kings of Bohemia, to the Habsburg Rudolph I, who transformed the city into a Renaissance capital of the Holy Roman Empire. The city continued to flourish throughout the centuries as the cultural heart of an empire: a musical centre where Mozart, Smetana and Dvorak were adored and, later, for its distinctive art nouveau style. Today we explore the city’s art, history and music. After a talk in the hotel this morning, we take a walking tour of the UNESCO world-heritage listed Old Town, with its stunningly picturesque lanes and palaces. After a welcome lunch in a superior restaurant, we visit the museum dedicated to Alphonse Mucha, whose graphic art defined what is quintessentially art nouveau. Evening at leisure Overnight Prague. (B, L) Wednesday 19 September Above: Alphonse Mucha’s iconic style for Moet & Chandon in 1896 Prague Castle and its collections – Lisitsa Recital Below: wiew to St Vitus’ Cathedral from the Vlatava River Prague Castle has been a centre of political power for more than a millennium, and as such has accumulated fine examples of Czech architecture from the Romanesque to the Baroque. Today the complex is home to both the President of the Czech Republic and a number of excellent collections. We begin our tour of the area this morning with a visit to the 16th-century Lobkowicz Palace, whose collection includes masterpieces by Brueghel, Canaletto and Velazquez as well as an excellent collection of the original manuscripts of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. After a break for lunch, we have a guided tour of St Vitus’ Cathedral and its treasury, and a visit to the Sternberg Palace, where the National Gallery displays its antiquities and Old Masters, including Durer’s extraordinary Feast of the Rosary. This evening we enjoy a piano recital by the acclaimed Ukrainian pianist, Valentina Lisitsa, at the Rudolfinium. Overnight Prague. (B) Performance details Venue: Rudolfinium Program: Schubert – Liszt: Swan Song, D. 957; Ravel, Gaspard de la nuit; Musorgskij, Pictures at an Exhibition Performers: Vaelntina Lisitsa Thursday 20 September Kutna Hora and Villa Tugendhat This morning we depart by coach for Bratislava, stopping to visit two UNESCO World Heritage sites, representing two very different sides of Czech history and culture. Our first stop is Kutna Hora , a town born in the 12th century around Bohemia’s first Cistercian abbey, which later grew rich enough from silver mining to rival Prague. Our second stop is Villa Tugendhat, outside of Brno. Mies van der Rohe designed the villa in 1929 for Grete Tugendhat, who had long been an admirer of his work, and its clean, modernist lines melded with noble materials is a perfect embodiment of his architectural principles. The three- storey villa has been recently restored, along with its original furnishings, also designed by the architect and his collaborators. In the late afternoon, we continue to Bratislava. Dinner in a local restaurant. Overnight Bratislava. (B, D) Friday 21 September Bratislava Bratislava has long been overshadowed by its neighbours, and consequently it is a much less well-touristed city. This morning, after a later start, we take a guided tour of the city, exploring its history, from its time as the temporary capital of Hungary (when Budapest was part of the Ottoman Empire), to its modern transformation as the capital of Slovakia following the ‘Velvet Divorce’ from the Czech Republic. In the afternoon, we visit one of the region’s best new art galleries: the Danubiana Museum of Modern Art. The museum on the Danube takes full advantage of its views, and its collection includes an international modern art collection – on permanent loan from Muellensteen, a Dutch art collector who helped found the museum – Slovakian modern and contemporary art, and a sculpture park. We return to the hotel via Devin Castle, which stands above the line of the Iron Curtain and commands views across the Morava and Danube rivers. Overnight Bratislava. (B) Saturday 22 September Pannonhalma Abbey and Budapest We depart by coach for Budapest this morning, stopping to visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Pannonhalma Archabbey. The abbey encapsulates the national story of Hungary: it was established in the 10th century, when the Magyar rulers converted to Christianity and brought in Benedictine monks from Italy and Prague. The complex was expanded in the 13th century, neglected during the Ottoman period, and restored harmoniously in the 18th and 19th centuries.

  • Representation of Justitia in Town Halls, Courthouses, and Other Public Spaces
    Statues of Lady Justice in Hungary: Representation of Justitia in town halls, courthouses, and other public spaces Peter Takács, Széchenyi István University, Faculty of Law, Department of Jurisprudence, Győr, Hungary; [email protected] TAKÁCS, Peter. Statues of Lady Justice in Hungary: Representation of Justitia in town halls, courthouses, and other public spaces. In Človek a spoločnosť [Individual and Society], 2019, roč. 22, č. 3, s. 11-42. doi: http://www.doi.org/10.31577/cas.2019.03.557 Abstract: The representation of the idea of justice through the ancient Roman goddess-figure, recently known as Lady Justice, has constituted an essential part of European culture for centuries. This paper outlines these statues in town halls, courthouses, and public spaces in Hungary, and examines some of them in detail. The aim of the study is to draw a general picture of such statues in a Central and Eastern European country, namely in Hungary, to identify the characteristics of these sculptures, reflecting their social and political context, and in some cases to contrast them with that of those which were characteristic in Western Europe. The nature of this study is multi and interdisciplinary, so it applies several methods in exploring its theme; for example, art and cultural history were mixed with reference to social history and legal history. The paper focuses on the legal and political culture – conceived in the cultural context, institutional prerequisites and behavioral patterns as components of law and politics – and treats statues of Justice as part of this culture. As a way of introduction, the paper gives a brief overview of three murals, and discusses, briefly, the controversy around the authorship of one of them; stating that its attribution to Boticelli is, in all probability, misleading.

Although the economic aspect used to be predominant (Shackley, 2001; Mangeloja, 2003) now we can find more examples of practices that aim to promote socio-cultural sustainability, while taking the natural environment also into account (Tanguay et al, 2010).

    A Magyar Művészeti Akadémia a művészettel – különösen az irodalommal, a zenével, az építészettel, a képző-, az ipar-, a tervező-, valamint a fotó-, a film-, az előadó-, a nép- művészettel – továbbá a művészet elemzésével, támogatá- sával, oktatásával, hazai és nemzetközi bemutatásával, közkinccsé tételével és a magyar művészek képviseletével összefüggő országos közfeladatokat ellátó köztestület. A xix. századi európai akadémia alapítások során a tudo- mányos és művészeti élet jeles képviselői közös testületi formákat hoztak létre. A Magyar tudományos Akadémia megalapítását 1825-ben határozták el a magyar nyelv ápolására, a tudományok és művészetek magyar nyelven való művelésére. Az 1990-es rendszerváltozás után meg- mozdult a művészvilág, hogy a magyar művészet akadé- miai elismertetését visszaállítsa: 1992-ben 22 jeles MAGYAR MOZAIK HUNGARIAN MOSAIC magyar művész, Makovecz imre építész vezetésével tár- sadalmi szervezetként megalakította a Magyar Művészeti Akadémiát. közel két évtized múlva, az ország gyűlés 2011-ben törvényt fogadott el a köztestületként működő Magyar Művészeti Akadémia (MMA) létrehozásáról, mely- nek tagjai a magyar művészeti életben kimagasló szellemi vagy alkotói teljesítményt felmutató művészek lettek. A Magyar Művészeti Akadémia azóta a jogszabályok értel- mében a kulturális értékek védelme, a nemzet művészeti hagyományainak megőrzése, átörökítése és bemutatása, az új alkotások létrehozásának ösztönzése, a magas szín- vonalú művészi alkotómunka közösségi feltételeinek megerősítése, a művészeti élet kimagasló képviselőinek megbecsülése és a nemzetek közötti művészeti együtt- működés fokozott igénye alapján végzi munkáját. A köz- testületnek jelenleg 300 tagja van. Az MMA az elmúlt években együttműködési megállapo- dást kötött több művészeti akadémiával, a külgazdasági és külügyminisztérium közvetítésével pedig cserekiállí- tásokat, konferenciákat szervezett a világ több pontján, valamint vendégül látott külföldi kiállításokat székhelyén, a pesti vigadóban.
