EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Maximilian Presented by his Patron Saints to the Almighty" is a poignant memorial piece that commemorates the passage of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian into eternal life. Created in 1519 by Hans Springinklee, this print measures 35.72x37.47 cm and is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. In this artwork, we witness Emperor Maximilian humbly kneeling before Christ while being surrounded by an array of Habsburg family saints including Andrew, Barbara, George, Leopold, Maximilian himself, and Sebastian. The presence of the Virgin and Child adds a sense of divine grace to the scene. The Latin text below provides details about Maximilian's numerous titles and territories as well as his date of death. Accompanying these facts are laudatory verses that pay tribute to his accomplishments during his reign. Despite its popular format as a woodcut print, it is believed that this particular artwork was not intended for sale or public display but rather distributed exclusively among members of the imperial court and other nobles close to Maximilian. It serves as a personal commemoration piece for those who held him dear. With its monochrome palette emphasizing contrasts between light and shadow, this powerful image captures both reverence for religious figures and admiration for an influential leader who has now passed on from earthly existence into eternity.
