Hans von Aachen
German, c. 1552-1615

This late drawing reveals the melding of northern and southern Baroque influences that characterized the cosmopolitan court of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II (1552-1612). The drawing may relate to a painting of this subject, now lost, that was listed in the Emperor’s inventory.
