Souvenir sheets in commemoration of Emperor Rudolph II

  • Items from the collections of Rudolph.
  • Emperor Rudolph II (sovereign 1576-1611).
  • Emperor Rudolph's Court Painter, Giuseppe Arcimboldi (self-portrait).

Personal Note: I particularly like the way Arcimboldo is depicted in the last sheet as the effigy of some sort of Magus that could have sprang out from one of his own paintings.

What`s in the Devil`s Vaudeville?

The Devil`s VauDeville is a blog that was created out of my personal love and interest for works of art that depict bizarre, grotesque, magical and sometimes fantastical motives and tropes.
