After the death of her second husband in 1501, Margaret, still only 21, refused to marry again and eventually became the grande dame of European politics. She was also an avid collector, owning van Eyck’s Portrait of Giovanni(?) Arnolfini and his Wife (now also in the National Gallery) among many other paintings. She was a patron of art, literature and music, and her palace at Malines was packed with books, illuminated manuscripts, tapestries and even curiosities from the Americas, only recently explored by Europeans.
