EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Emperor Maximilian Presented by His Patron Saints to the Almighty" in all its glory. Created in 1519, this masterpiece was brought to life by Hans Springinklee, a talented German artist and pupil of the renowned Albrecht Durer. Springinklee's close collaboration with Durer led him to become involved in print projects aimed at glorifying Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian. The emperor firmly believed that large woodcut projects would serve as an affordable yet powerful means of ensuring his enduring legacy. In fact, he famously declared that those who fail to leave behind a remembrance during their lifetime are destined to be forgotten after death. "The Emperor Maximilian Presented by His Patron Saints to the Almighty" is a testament to Maximilian's unwavering commitment towards preserving his memory for future generations. This remarkable woodcut depicts the emperor being presented by his patron saints before the almighty, symbolizing his devout faith and divine protection. With intricate details and expert craftsmanship, Springinklee skillfully captures both the grandeur of Maximilian's reign and the religious fervor that defined his era. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate not only Springinklee's artistic prowess but also understand how art was used as a tool for political propaganda during this period. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this piece from Heritage Art/Heritage Images stands as an invaluable representation of Germany's rich cultural heritage and serves as a reminder that art has
