Prague Castle Picture Gallery

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:04:12

The same Swedish army that looted the famous bronzes in the Wallenstein Garden in 1648 also nicked Rudolf II’s art treasures. This exhibition of 16th- to 18th-century European art, housed in the former castle stables, is based on the Habsburg collection that was begun in 1650 to replace the lost paintings; it includes works by Cranach, Holbein and Rubens.
