Globo celestial com mecanismo de relógio

1579
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 520
Feito para Rodolfo II, imperador do Sacro Império Romano, este globo aloja um mecanismo fabricado pelo relojoeiro imperial, Gerhard Emmoser, que assinou e datou o anel meridiano. O movimento, que foi em grande parte reconstruído, girava originalmente a esfera celeste e movia uma imagem do sol em movimento ao longo do caminho da elíptica. Um quadrante em cima da esfera indicava as horas e o outro, os dias do ano. A esfera, com suas constelações delicadamente gravadas e Pégaso, que faz as vezes de suporte, são obras de um ourives anônimo e talvez de um gravador que provavelmente trabalhavam nas oficinas da Viena imperial.
