1515 Albrecht Durer Emperor Maximilian & Mary, Woodcut, Triumphal Arch

About the Item

The Betrothal of Mary of Burgundy from the Triumphal Arch of Emperor Maximilian I Emperor Maximilian and Mary Im Krieg so Er im Geldern führt , Dabey Mann noch fein Mammheit spürt Manchritterliches Blut vergoßz / Wie wols sein Wiederthcyl verdroß / Doch macht Er sie ... 231mm × w 151mm Bartsch 138; Meder 251; The Metropolitan Museum of Art dates this woodcut to 1515. Production of the Arch of Honor was essentially completed by 1515 but was delayed in release while Maximilian ordered his court historians to add further research into his purported early ancestry. Only a small number of proofs were completed before the emperor’s death, so most of the early printings of complete sets of the Arch were only made and distributed by his grandson Ferdinand I in 1526. Another edition appeared from the Habsburgs in 1559. Woodcut by Albrecht Durer; German Prose; printed by Hieronymus Andreae. Woodcut 16 from the first edition of the Ehrenpforte Maximilian. Extremely rare detail plate of the triumphal arch of emperor Maximilian I. Woodcut in black on fine laid paper. Extremely fine and contrast rich impression. Edges with old and very neat backing. Two minor spots of marginal restoration without loss. A few very minor age spots. Minor paper thinning.
