EDITORS COMMENTS
Maximilian I (1459-1519), a prominent figure of the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, is depicted in this vibrant and intricately detailed colored engraving. Born as Archduke Maximilian of Austria, he ascended to the position of King of the Romans in 1486 and assumed the title of Holy Roman Emperor in 1493, ruling until his death. Maximilian's regal attire is a testament to his authority and dominion. He wears a burgundy cloak lined with ermine fur, adorned with the Habsburg arms, and a golden coat of plates. The imperial double-headed eagle, a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, is prominently displayed on his helmet and the globus cruciger, symbolizing imperial power and rule over the earthly realm, rests in his right hand. The engraving also showcases Maximilian's devotion to his faith. He is depicted holding a baton topped with a cross, symbolizing his role as a secular ruler and his allegiance to Christ. The image of Christ on the cross is also visible in the background, emphasizing the spiritual dimension of Maximilian's rule. Maximilian's strong presence and imposing appearance are further accentuated by the rich colors and intricate details of the engraving. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a striking representation of the power and authority of the Holy Roman Emperor during the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance.
