Archduke Ferdinand, later Emperor Ferdinand II
ca. 1614 | Österreichisch
The reign of Emperor Ferdinand II was marked by the incipient Thirty Years War and the Counter-Reformation. His armour, field marshal’s baton, and posture suggest military strength and decisiveness. Ferdinand II had the property and succession laws for the Kunstkammer and treasury collections of the Habsburg house regulated and codified.
