Globo celestial con maquinaria de reloj

Gerhard Emmoser German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 520

Hecho para Rodolfo II, emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico, este globo aloja en su interior un mecanismo realizado por el relojero imperial Gerhard Emmoser, quien firmó y fechó el anillo meridiano. El mecanismo, reconstruido casi por completo, originalmente rotaba la esfera celeste y movía una imagen del sol a lo largo de la ruta eclíptica. Un cuadrante en la parte superior del globo indicaba las horas y otro el día del año. La esfera, con sus constelaciones grabadas con gran delicadeza, y el Pegaso que hace las veces de soporte, son obra de un orfebre anónimo, y tal vez de un grabador, ambos empleados en los talleres imperiales de Viena.
