En savoir plus sur le livre

In 1512, Maximilian I, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, conceived the most grandiose of his many schemes involving a triumphal arch, the subject of the present volume, and a triumphal procession (see Burgkmair, The Triumph of Maximilian I). The arch, composed of 192 separate woodcuts, would, when put together, form an arch over ten feet high. Designed to immortalize the “last of the knights” and executed when woodcut was at a technical and esthetical peak, this series is one of the most important and amazing in the whole woodcut history.
