About This Item
The Chief Steward of Bohemia under Emperor Rudolf II, Christoph Popel, Baron of Lobkowicz (1549-1609), was a close friend of the celebrated court painter Hans von Aachen. Lobkowicz, who was known for his language and diplomatic skills, was tasked with welcoming visitors from within and without the Holy Roman Empire to the Emperor's Court and for negotiating alliances in the war against the Turks. Lobkowicz was responsible for the peace negotiations with the Polish King Sigismund. Lobkowicz spent considerable sums on art work for his residence and commissioned jewelry, precious watches and valuable objects. He was buried in the chapel in the Prague Cathedral.
