Emperor Leopold I
ca. 1690 | Leopold I. (1658-1705), Kaiser
Numerous works entered the treasury under Leopold I that served the glorification of his imperial majesty. The amber reliefs with their program of encomium are fragments from an otherwise lost throne which Elector Frederick William of Brandenburg gave Leopold I in 1678 for his sovereign jubilee. Cameos and works of ivory and goldsmithing similarly portrayed the greatness and deeds of the emperor.
