Globe céleste à mouvement d'horlogerie

Gerhard Emmoser German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 520

Exécuté pour Rodolphe II, empereur du Saint Empire romain, ce globe céleste renferme un mouvement fabriqué par Gerhard Emmoser, horloger impérial, qui a signé et daté le cercle méridien. Le mouvement, en grande partie reconstruit, faisait à l’origine tourner la sphère céleste et coulisser une image du soleil le long de l’écliptique. Un cadran au sommet du globe indiquait les heures et un autre, la date. Le globe, décoré de constellations délicatement gravées, et le socle, qui représente Pégase, sont l’œuvre d’un orfèvre anonyme et peut-être aussi d’un graveur, tous deux probablement employés par les ateliers impériaux, à Vienne.
