El emblema musical del rey David dedicado a María Ana de Baviera: música, devoción y política en la corte de Wittelsbach

Abstract

María Ana de Baviera, cultured and pious woman, neither queen nor empress, has gone almost unnoticed by Historiography. Luckily, the artistic legacy leaves us its memory in a unique engraving by Johan Sadeler governed under the construction of the Musical Emblematic dedicated to the future wife of Ferdinand II of Habsburg, which translates into a revival of power, fervor, and music that gave expression to a similarity of life in the court of Bavaria, to which renowned artists went in search of patronage impregnating the dukedom with the new creative spirits.
