In the summer of 1997 the city of Prague, former seat of one of the greatest and most influential monarchs in history, Rudolf II, is hosting a spectacular three-month celebration of art, music, and science. Nearly four hundred years after Rudolf's death in 1612, the reign of this enlightened and eccentric Hapsburg ruler, and the kaleidoscope of talents he assembled at his court, continues to capture our interest. Now, for the first time in Prague's history, his glorious realm is on display for all the world to see. In venues throughout Prague every aspect of Rudolf's extraordinary court can be seen: painting, sculpture, engraving, scientific and astrological instruments, decorative arts, and alchemical tools. The artists of the city--its aristocracy, clergy, burghers, craftsmen, and Jewish community--all flourished during Rudolf's cosmopolitan reign, and for the first time ever their achievements are being shown. Prepared with the Prague Castle Administration, this official and comprehensive catalogue contains the most significant artistic achievements of both court and city--and some of the most rarely seen. There are twenty-seven essays covering a wide range of topics and written by a team of international experts, many of whom offer new perspectives based on recent discoveries.
