Transoceanic Dialogues: "Exotic" Arts at Imperial Courts, 1550–1750 Transoceanic trade in the early modern period brought an influx of global arts into cosmopolitan courts around the world. To contextualize and critique the resulting artistic dialogues, noting connections to imperialism and colonialism, we'll look closely at three monarchs: Elizabeth I in England, Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II in Prague, and the Qianlong Emperor in Qing China. We'll examine how these rulers influenced and responded to cross-cultural interactions at their courts - and how they used the arts to legitimize their rule.
