Catalogue accompanying the exhibition in the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum, Aachen, March 11 - June 13, 2010; Prague Castle Gallery, July 1 - October 3, 2010; Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, October 19, 2010 - January 9, 2011. After more than ten years in Rome, Florence and Venice Hans von Aachen, by now a virtuoso painter, went to the courts of art-loving princes in Munich and Prague. Emperor Rudolf II appointed him court artist and bestowed upon him a title of nobility. Von Aachen's life and work embody the intensive exchange of artistic ideas during the late European Renaissance. The first monographic exhibition on the artist consists of over 100 paintings, drawings and prints from important collections in Europe and North America. After his early education in Cologne, Hans von Aachen studied carefully the works of past and contemporary painters and sculptors in Rome, Florence and Venice, developing a style that combined Netherlandish traditions with Italian innovations. Following sojourns in Cologne, Augsburg and at the court in Munich, Emperor Rudolf II called the artist to Prague as his court painter. The elegance, humour and sensuousness of his paintings still seduce us today; his religious works lead us into a world marked by upheaval and change. Von Aachen's virtuosity is especially pronounced in the lively portraits of his contemporaries. The catalogue, written by internationally renowned experts, consists of essays followed by extensive discussions of the exhibited works.
