In 2010, I visited Schönbrunn Palace, the summer residence of the Hapsburgs, where I made an unexpected discovery—a painting in Maria Theresa’s “Carousel Room” that depicts the carousel game (see Figure 3.4). In this case, there is a curious addition, the decapitated head of a man floating in the background—a “Turk’s head.”
