Description: Copenhagen: Statens Museum for Kunst, 2015. 22cm., pbk., 96pp. illus., most in color. Danish-English text. Summary: In 1515 Albrecht Dürer created the largest woodcut ever made during the Renaissance era. The work was commissioned by Emperor Maximilian, who wanted to celebrate himself, demonstrating and validating his power to as many people as possible. Anyone who watches it becomes fascinated by this work. It impresses by virtue of its sheer size as well as by the beauty of its form. And the many battle scenes, landscapes, strange creatures, and mysterious symbols pique our curiosity and demand explanation. For what were the intentions behind this vast, 3.5 x 3m woodcut called The Arch of Honour of Maximilian I, which Albrecht Dürer and his workshop created in 1515 as a commission work ordered by the emperor? That is the question addressed by the exhibition Might and Glory. Dürer in the Emperor’s Service.
