Print Collection
1617
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Print Collection is a 1617 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a group of people dancing in a grand hall. Their flowing robes and raised arms suggest a formal celebration. A man in the center holds a staff, leading the motion. The scene matches a 1617 Prague court dance called the *Phasma Dionysiacum*. It was recorded in a German text, linking art and royal life. The print’s style feels stiff compared to today’s photos. Look for prints like this at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
