    "description": "<p><strong>Phoebus Focus XXXVIII</strong></p><p>In this edition of Phoebus Focus, Prof. dr. Larry Silver guides you to the court of Rudolf II. The author expertly demonstrates how art was used politically and conjures up a world in which art was not meant to be beautiful but to intrigue, persuade and challenge. Spranger\u2019s Mercury Bearing Psyche to Mount Olympus is not a painting to be viewed discreetly from a distance. It is art in which you must fully immerse yourself. That\u2019s exactly what this Phoebus Focus does.</p>",
