__The Cultural Aspects of the Baroque Period of the Habsburg Monarchy__

Emperor Leopold I of the Habsburg Empire (1658-1705) was the cousin of Louis XIV of France and shared with his cousin a great admiration and patronage of the arts. Leopold saw the benefits of a cultural transformation, well aware of how it worked for France politically and was constantly engaged in rivalry with Louis.

 His successors, Emperors Joseph I and Karl IV continued this patronage of the arts. Because of this, all three, were responsible for the establishment of Baroque at the court
