Keizer Rudolf I, ontvangt de hulde der Duitsche Rijksvorsten 1751 - 1816

This engraving by Reinier Vinkeles depicts a historical scene of Emperor Rudolf I of Habsburg receiving homage from German princes. Created between 1751 and 1816, the artwork showcases Vinkeles' skill in capturing detail and conveying a sense of grandeur. The scene is set within a grand hall, with the Emperor standing tall while a prince kneels before him. The surrounding figures, including other princes, add to the dramatic and ceremonial nature of the event. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the power dynamics and rituals of the Holy Roman Empire during this period.
