Beschreibungen/Notizen
From about 1530 to the end of the century a notable increase of interest in Marcus Aurelius can be seen in Western art. A number of artistic projects appeared throughout Europe which referred specifically to the equestrian portrait of the emperor on the Capitoline or to its well-known gesture - right arm extended with palm held downward. This phenomenon is examined and related to the popularity of two little-known books by Fray Antonio de Guevara, the court historiographer of Charles V. The Libro Aureo de Marco Aurelio and the Relox de Principes helped create the image of the emperor as the perfect prince and as an ideal for all men who sought to lead a Christian life.
