Prague Art 1583-1612

The web site of the Metropolitan Museum of Art features art pieces from Prague created during the reign of Rudolph II. Rudolph was a patron of the arts and art enthusiast, and under his guidance, Prague's art scene rose to prominence in Europe as painters and sculptors flocked to the Bohemian capital to exercise their talents.

The webpage gives a brief description of this period of art history in Prague, then allows viewers to click on significant examples for more information and larger photos. Included is a portrait of Rudolph II himself.
