EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of the Triumphal Arch of Emperor Maximilian I of Germany, created by the renowned artist Albrecht Dürer. The arch, dating back to 1517/18, is adorned with a deer-skin bearing an inscription that praises the Emperor's illustrious family connections. However, it is the presence of a floppy-eared goat in this particular section that truly captivates the viewer. The inclusion of this symbol holds great significance as it alludes to Emperor Maximilian I's acute hearing and unwavering alertness. The goat's floppy ears represent its ability to listen attentively and perceive even the faintest sounds - qualities that were undoubtedly admired in the Emperor himself. As we delve into this extraordinary woodcut masterpiece, we are transported back to the Renaissance era where propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public perception. This artwork not only glorifies Maximilian I but also serves as a testament to his power and influence during his reign. Surrounded by putti and cherubs representing abundance and heavenly blessings (cornucopia), this image exudes grandeur and opulence. It reminds us of an era when art was used as a powerful tool for political messaging. Preserved within private collections today, this photograph from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind Dürer's work and gain insight into historical narratives embedded within such masterpieces.
