Papers by Miroslav Kindl
developed according to the changing tastes of musical theatre productions and the skills of masters of pyrotechnics. In Central Europe, several performances were staged at the Habsburg court from the middle of the 17th century onwards which were clearly among the most costly, complex and, above all, the highest-quality pyrotechnical displays of their kind in the history of human culture. They were instruments of the complex patterns of
contemporary propaganda and courtly representation, and their stories reflected the reality, desires, visions and concerns of the ruling dynasty. We can deduce their forms, stories and messages from surviving synopses and printed illustrated sheets.

An attempt was made to go beyond the approach mainly followed by previous research, especially oriented towards the reconstruction of individual architectural and decorative projects and of the content of the collections. The book focuses mainly on secular spaces. The secular collecting of this geographical and cultural area has been inserted here into a broader context underlying the cultural transfers from German and Italian milieux.
