Beschreibung
Martin Halata's book uncovers the previously overlooked topic of the stays of Habsburg and Wettin princes and princesses in the Prague royal residence in the 18th century. Based on extensive archival research in Prague and Vienna, it traces who was accommodated in the residence and for what purpose, where their chambers were located, and how they were furnished. It reconstructs the appearance of the ceremonial and private apartments in the southern wing of the New Palace and the Rosenberg Palace, follows the changes in accommodation strategies depending on age, status, and dynastic intentions, and provides insight into the everyday "living culture" of the Habsburg court.
The publication connects political, ceremonial, and architectural history with details of everyday life, from the colors of wallpapers to the arrangement of bedrooms, and offers a unique view of Prague Castle as a living residence of a powerful dynasty.
