Beschreibung

A reinterpretation of the Habsburgian ruler's reign as exemplary rather than reclusive. Rudolf II offers a fresh perspective on the Habsburg ruler, shedding new light on a reign often colored by myths of madness. Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann argues that, contrary to popular belief, Rudolf was not a passive recluse but an engaged monarch, navigating the complexities of state affairs with a moderate hand amid turbulent times. By contextualizing Rudolf s interests in astrology, alchemy, and magic, this book offers new insights into the emperor s support for scientific endeavors and his quest for power. Kaufmann also demonstrates that Rudolf s assembling of the greatest Kunstkammer and painting collection of his time and his patronage of artists were essential elements of Renaissance rulership.
