Iron-on label van der Weyden - Portret F. de Goede
Filips de Goede serves as the archetype of a monarch in the world of the court. The world of the late Middle Ages was a mosaic of courts and rulers. They maintained relationships, but at the same time vied for influence and territory. In the end, only the strongest survived: powerful dynasties such as the Ottomans and the Habsburgs. He is the counterpart to Mehmed II.
