No. x.12; Holzschuh-Hofer 2014(b). 8 Cf. above, Ch. 2.3; Cles’ reference to the Viena Hofburg discussed in Gabrielli 2004, pp. 19–20, and 390–391, doc. 29; and Dellantonio 2002. Bernardo Cles (Clesio, Bernhard von Cles) has been studied exhaustively both as a politician and a patron, as has the Magno Palazzo: see [Fig. 5.3]. Early examples of the use of the antique manner in commissions of Ferdinand  i are the portal of the Zeughaus or arsenal in Wiener Neustadt, which is dated 1524 [Fig. 5.4], and the tomb of Count Nicholas Salm, the de- fender of Vienna against the Turks in 1529, which Ferdinand commissioned from Loy Hering shortly after count Salm’s death in 1530 [Fig. 5.5].7 Ferdinand was not the only patron in the Habsburg lands indulging a taste for a style of architecture based on Antique example. The new approach was pioneered also by a few highly educated, wealthy officials who were all close collaborators of the ruler, and who all, because of their origin, their studies, or both, had a more cosmopolitan outlook than their contemporaries. By far the most significant of these is Ferdinand’s Chancellor Bernardo Cles, Prince- Bishop of Trent, who in 1528 added a new residential block to his residence, the Castello del Buonconsiglio at Trent. He had this ‘Magno Palazzo’ built and decorated in the new manner introduced by Giulio Romano at the Pala- zzo del Te by a team of masons and craftsmen recruited in Mantua, and the painters Girolamo Romanino, Dosso and Battista Dossi, and Marcello Fogo- lino [Figs.  5.6–5.9]. The role of this spectacular complex in inspiring Duke Ludwig  x of Bavaria to construct part of his Stadtresidenz in Landshut in the Italian manner has already been referred to, and its influence on residential architecture North of the Alps has been considerable.8 Figure 5.3 Anonymous sculptor, Ferdinand i as Roman Emperor, ca 1520–1525.
