Bartholomeus Spranger (1546-1611) and an Allegory of Lust and Power for Emperor Rudolf II
Description
Phoebus Focus XXXVIII
In this edition of Phoebus Focus, Prof. dr. Larry Silver guides you to the court of Rudolf II. The author expertly demonstrates how art was used politically and conjures up a world in which art was not meant to be beautiful but to intrigue, persuade and challenge. Spranger’s Mercury Bearing Psyche to Mount Olympus is not a painting to be viewed discreetly from a distance. It is art in which you must fully immerse yourself. That’s exactly what this Phoebus Focus does.
