This study explores the creative activities of the Nuremberg graphic artist Virgil Solis Junior (1551–1623?), who moved to Prague in 1567. As little is known about his life and work in Prague, this study seeks to investigate Solis‘s artistic contributions among painters in Prague. In particular, I aim to map activities that are potentially linked to the court of Emperor Rudolf II and Prague printers. Virgil Solis has been researched mainly as an engraver and illustrator of two pictorial publications - The Life of Adam from 1601 and Diadochos, printed in 1602. Therefore, this study focuses on Solis‘s other creative activities, especially his painting associated with the court milieu, as well as his drawing and graphic activities for Prague printers. A comparative analysis of woodcut illustrations printed in the Czech lands at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries suggests that Solis collaborated with the printer Daniel Sedlčanský. Furthermore, the study includes a revised list of titles that could be attributed to the drawing and woodcutting activities of Virgil Solis Jr.
