Abstrakt: | Abstract: Drawing upon previously unknown archival sources, the present article reconstructs the visit of the Florentine architect Antonio Lupicini to the Habsburg courts of Vienna and Prague from 1578 to 1579. Dispatched by Grand Duke Francesco I de’ Medici to serve Emperor Rudolf II, the architect’s imperial sojourn offers new insights into Rudolf ’s earliest construction projects and pays testament to some of the first diplomatic gifts the Emperor received for his Kunstkammer collection. |
