JÚLIA TÁTRAI AND LÁSZLO LENGYEL: Archduke Albert († 1621) on the Catafalque: A Picture of Old-New Acquisition

21, no. 80 (next to it in pencil no. 76). The foreword of the catalogue contains the following infor­mation about the Zichy Collection: "The Count Jenő Zichy Collection, due to the lack of a suitable venue, has been found a temporary place at the industrial school of drawing on Verpeléti Street. This collection became the property of the capital by way of the estate of the now deceased Count Jenő Zichy in 1911. The collection contains the works of important, and indeed world famous artists, such as pictures by Greuze, Rigaud, Largilliére, Le Brun, Ruysdael, Einsle, Lampi, Makart, Mányoki, Ligeti, and Marko as well as others." 13 Budapest Székesfőváros gróf Zichy Jenő Múzeumának katalógusa, 22, no. 75. The foreword of the catalogue notes that the fine arts works were identified by Simon Melier and Dénes Csánki, while the catalogue was produced with the expert advice of Elek Petrovics, Zoltán Felvinczi Takács and József Beer. 14 German terminology makes a distinction between the governors before and after Albert and Isabelle's governance by using the title Statthalter for the former and Souverän for the latter. There is no equi­valent term for this in Hungarian. Cf. H. Trnek, "Die Wappenoffiziere und die heraldische Kammer der Niederlande", in Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien.
