Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor from 1576-1612
Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor from 1576-1612. A member of the House of Habsburg, Rudolf was King of Hungary (1572-1608) and Bohemia (1575-1611) and Archduke of Austria (1576-1608), as well as Holy Roman Emperor. A long debilitating war with Turkey and a revolt by his Hungarian subjects led to him being forced to give up his kingdoms and effective power to his younger brother Matthias, who also succeeded him as Holy Roman Emperor when he died in 1612

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rudolf II, the Holy Roman Emperor from 1576 to 1612. A member of the prestigious House of Habsburg, Rudolf held various titles including King of Hungary, Bohemia, and Archduke of Austria. As a devout Catholic ruler, he played a significant role in shaping Christianity during the 16th and 17th centuries. The portrait captures Rudolf II dressed in an exquisite costume that reflects his regal status. His attire is adorned with intricate details such as a ruff collar and armor, symbolizing both his royal authority and involvement in warfare. The engraving beautifully highlights his strong yet contemplative expression, portraying him as a man deeply committed to his religious beliefs. However, despite his notable reign, Rudolf's rule was not without challenges. He faced a long-lasting war with Turkey that took its toll on him physically and mentally. Additionally, a revolt by his Hungarian subjects forced him to relinquish power over his kingdoms to his younger brother Matthias. Ultimately, this striking image immortalizes Rudolf II as an influential monarch who left behind an indelible mark on European history through both political maneuverings and religious devotion.
