The apparition of knowledge in the Court of Rudolph II

"The apparition of knowledge in the Court of Rudolph II" brings to light a historical event that has surprisingly been largely ignored by established historians.
Emperor Rudolph II (nephew of Phillip II of Spain) lived in Prague during the 16th century. This unusual emperor put territorial affaires and religious wars in a secondary place in order to dedicate himself to the development of science and the arts. It was under his lavish patronage that the largest concentration of knowledge in that epoch took place.
Figures such as Kepler, who were very often hiding from religions prosecution, were able to develop their work thanks to the support of the emperor. This video reveals the late renaissance expression of knowledge where religion, science and the arts became fused in the search for a fundamental understanding of the
world and of life.
This was an atmosphere where ideas and knowledge were trying to develop and overcome the religious antagonisms that, in years to come, would bring extreme destruction to Europe.
Neither the train of thought nor the sensitivity nor the tolerant attitude of the Rudolphian era were to remain influential later on and during ensuing centuries his figure was repeatedly undervalued. Nevertheless, from the 20th century onwards, its cultural, artistic and spiritual values have been revived thanks to modern thinking.
