Portrait of Rudolph II 1603 Aegidius Sadeler II Netherlandish This allegorical bust-length portrait of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II was engraved by Aegidius Sadeler after a painting by Hans von Aachen. Wearing the victor's laurel crown and dressed in armor with a clasp bearing the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece, Rudolf II is represented as a triumphant emperor. He is described in the inscription surrounding the oval portrait as Augustus. The eagle and fish-tailed goat at the top of the print are emblems that were indeed used by the first Roman emperor, as well as by Rudolf's illustrious, more immediate predecessors. Bracketing the portrait are personifications of Rudolf's enlightened reign. At left, Hermathena, standing on a plinth inscribed constabit (strong), represents the rich humanist culture presided over by the emperor in Prague; while at right, the figure of Time, standing on a plinth inscribed instat (continuous), represents the never-ending promise of his rule.
