Catalogue Note
L’archiduc Rodolphe naquit en 1788 au palais Pitti à Florence. Il était le benjamin des fils de l’empereur Léopold II et de l’infante Marie-Louise d’Espagne. Au début de l’année 1819, Rodolphe fut élu archevêque d’Olmütz et l’année suivante il sera nommé cardinal. A côté de sa carrière ecclésiastique, c’était un grand musicien. Il jouait notamment du piano et écrivit quelques compositions. Il comptait d’ailleurs comme un important protecteur de Beethoven. Ce dernier dédicaça d’ailleurs quatorze compositions à l’archiduc entre les années 1803 et 1824.
