KIÁLLÍTÁS - Lővei Pál: A királynét kiállítani nem kell félnetek. Kiállítás az Andechs-Merániakról Andechsben (1993)

1230, being in close connection with its arcaded form with figurai decoration with the French stylistic trends of the period, a head of a king and an angel were borrowed by the organizers of the exhibition. The reproduction of a reconstructionvariation of the sepulchre published by László Gerevich was also exhibited with the carvings. With the Andechs exhibition it was possible for the first occasion to show the public the rich interiors of the monastery building settled by Benedictines in 1455. The exhibition showing rich material consisted of six units. The first one was representing medieval power system, the next the family of Andechs-Meran, and the third the artistic and literary milieu of the family. An independent unit was set for the two outstanding canonized female members of the family - St. Elizabeth of the House of the Arpads, the daughter of Andrew II and Gertrud, and her aunt, Hedwig, Princess of Silesia. The last unit was showing the relics found in 1388 under the altar of the Andechs mountain chapel that had been standing in the place of the pilgrimage church. Surprisingly enough only two photos were representing the Bamberg cathedral, the building of which was built by the bishop Ekbert (1203-1237), brother of Queen Gertrud. In the unit dealing with their sister, St. Hedwig was the copy of tympanum relief of the cistercian monastery Trzebnica, Silesia made around 1230 exhibited. The monastery was founded by Hedwig and her husband, Henry I, Prince of Silesia. The relief resembling to the style of the so called „Gnadenpforte" in Bamberg is an excellent proof of the artistic connections existing between Bamberg and Trzebnica. It is unfortunate that the similar connections between Bamberg and Hungary were not mentioned at the exhibition. Another brother of the above mentioned, Bertold was between 1207 and 1218 the archbishop of Kalocsa in Hungary, and in the years preceding the murder of the Queen he had held important government offices. During the time of his archbishopry had begun the building of the second cathedral in Kalocsa. A few carvings or the plan of the church would make richer the image of the Andechs family. The dynastic connection of the House of the Arpads and the Andechs-Meran family might have influenced - at least indirectly the impact of Bamberg on Ják. In connection with the almost highest respected female saint of medieval Germany, the daughter of Queen Gertrud, St. Elizabeth of the House of the Arpads, there were no objects from Hungary exhibited. This could finally be understood, as from her childhood spent in Hungary no objects have remained to us, while the memories of her later cult are so numerous and varied in Germany as well, that even with borrowing objects from Hungary the image could not have been made richer.
