The Triumph Of Maximilian, Set Of 4 Colored Engravings, 19th/20th Century
A set of 4 colored, framed engravings from the "Triumphal Procession of Maximilian I."
The standard-bearers are depicted in their finest attire, adorned with sumptuous costumes and ornate headdresses, mounted on fully decked-out horses.
Maximilian I of Habsburg (1459–1519) was Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 1508. He was nicknamed the “last knight” for his devotion to medieval values. A great warrior, skilled diplomat, and enlightened patron of the arts, he significantly expanded the power of the Habsburgs through military conquest but above all through marriage alliances.
He died in 1519, leaving behind an empire that, under his grandson Charles V, would become the largest in Europe.
This section presents the mounted standard-bearers of the territories the emperor was to inherit, as follows:
*plate 62, banners bearing the coats of arms of Säckingen, Hohenberg, and Nellenburg
*plate 60, banners bearing the coats of arms of Kyburg, Ferrette, and Goritz
*plate 63, banners bearing the coats of arms of Glarus, the County of Sonnenberg, and the County of Feldkirch
*plate 73, banners bearing the coats of arms of Duino, Oberwaldsee, and Unterwaldsee
The Triumphal Procession of Emperor Maximilian I consists of 38 undated and unsigned woodcuts.
The plan for this procession was drawn up by Johannes Stabius based on a design by Jörg Kölderer. The instructions given by Maximilian I were recorded by his secretary, Marx Treitzsaurwein, in a manuscript now preserved in Vienna.
The work brought together the greatest artists of the time: Hans Burgkmair the Elder, Albrecht Dürer, Albrecht Altdorfer, Hans Springinklee, and other masters of German printmaking.
