EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous scene from history, depicting "The White King". Maximilian I receiving his beloved daughter Archduchess Margaret of Austria and the children of her late brother, King Philip. The woodcut artwork by Hans Burgkmair, created between 1514-16, beautifully showcases the grandeur and opulence of the Northern Renaissance period. In this image, we witness Maximilian I seated on an ornate throne, adorned in exquisite royal attire. With regal grace, he welcomes his daughter and her young charges into his presence. The intricate details of their costumes highlight the fashion trends prevalent during that era. Der Weisskunig serves as a loose account of Maximilian I's life as Holy Roman Emperor. This historical narrative was penned by Marx Treitz-Sauerwein, who served as Maximilian's secretary. It sheds light on both political and personal aspects of Maximilian's reign. Archduchess Margaret played a significant role in governing the Habsburg Netherlands after her brother's untimely demise. Her strength and leadership are evident in this portrayal. Through this woodcut masterpiece, we glimpse into a world where chivalry meets royalty—a time when self-publicity was intertwined with power dynamics within noble families like the Habsburgs. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only its artistic
