‘Central Europe. A stable political situation in central Europe and the vision of Rudolf II in Prague in the late 16th and early 17th centuries [ce] created an intellectual climate that encouraged the adoption of new baroque ideas.

The fully developed Baroque style appeared in Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and Poland after 1680[ce] but flourished only after the end of the debilitating War of the Spanish Succession (1714[ce]).’
