EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable woodcut artwork titled "A Mounted Griffin, from Maximilians Triumphal Procession" by the talented German artist Hans Burgkmair. Created between 1516-18, this piece is part of a larger collection known as Maximilian's Triumphal Procession. Intriguingly, the central focus of this image is a majestic griffin – a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The griffin stands tall with its rider atop, exuding power and strength. The rider holds a feathered horn in one hand while skillfully playing a musical instrument with the other, creating an enchanting melody that resonates through the scene. The hybrid nature of this creature symbolizes triumph and victory, reflecting both earthly strength (represented by the lion) and divine qualities (embodied by the eagle). This amalgamation perfectly captures Emperor Maximilian I's desire to portray himself as an all-powerful ruler during his reign from 1459 to 1519. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of medieval times, this woodcut transports us back to an era where art was used not only for aesthetic purposes but also as political propaganda. It serves as a testament to Burgkmair's artistic prowess in capturing intricate details within his work. This extraordinary print preserves history while allowing us to appreciate Burgkmair's talent in bringing mythical creatures like griffins to life through his masterful craftsmanship.
