Curatorial context

In 1606, the graphic artist and publisher Aegidius Sadeler provided a significant depiction of the capital of the Bohemian Kingdom. The drawing for the copperplate was created by Philippus van den Bosche, and Johann Wechter transferred it into a copperplate engraving.

This new animation is based on Sadeler's prospect, presenting a detailed image of the city filled with people, their joys, and their worries—an image of Rudolfine Prague in motion.
