Uno dei posti più belli in assoluto che ho visto ad Innsbruck è stato il Castello di Ambras, un maniero rinascimentale che sorge a sud della suddetta città. Trovarlo è stata a dir poco un'impresa in quanto è disperso in un parco abbastanza grande e non sapevo dove andare visto che si era perso pure il mio navigatore; trovarlo tuttavia è stato veramente galvanizzante, quando sono entrato nel suo cortile per un attimo, mi sono sentito un imperatore tedesco, sempre sghincio eh, ma con epicità!. . . One of the most beautiful places I saw in Innsbruck was the Castle of Ambras, a Renaissance manor located south of the aforementioned city. Finding it was problematic to say the least because it is dispersed in a large enough park and I did not know where to go because even my navigator was lost; to find it, however, was really galvanizing, when I went into his yard for a moment I felt like a German emperor, always a bit motorcyclist, but with epicism! . . . #innsbruckstagram #innsbruck #mrlivingstone #ambras #ambrascastle #österreich🇦🇹 #schlossambras #schloß #renaissance (presso Schloss Ambras Innsbruck) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsVRLc8A_LG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bqezuiku93xa

Hunt and House: Depictions of Medieval Life in German Playing Cards  

At the center of the exhibition The World in Play: Luxury Cards, 1430–1540, on view through April 17, are two luxury decks of cards that once belonged to Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria (brother of Emperor Maximilian II) and were kept in the Kunstkammer he created at Schloß Ambras, near Innsbruck, sometime after 1567. Known as The Courtly Hunt Cards and The Courtly Household Cards, both decks were carefully described in Ferdinand's posthumous inventory, which also states that they were kept in special painted boxes, signifying the high regard in which they were held. Their fine and unsoiled condition indicates that they were valued for their artistry and were not intended for play. In contrast, ordinary playing cards were small, unpretentious, and produced in large qualities with simple stamps or woodcuts with little, if any, color. Because they were discarded when soiled or worn, few have survived and only a handful are found in public collections.
