EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic bronze statues in the Hofkirche, located in Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria. Taken around 1935 by an unknown creator, the image captures four of the 28 life-size bronze figures that stand as guardians over Emperor Maximilian I's tomb. Interestingly, despite their name "Schwarzmander" or Black Men, these figures include several women and were completed years after the emperor's death. The Hofkirche is a stunning court church where Emperor Maximilian I was intended to be buried; however, his actual resting place lies at Wiener Neustadt. The intricate sculptures depicted in this photograph are a testament to both artistry and religious devotion. Each figure exudes a sense of solemnity and grandeur within the church's interior. This historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into Austria's rich cultural heritage during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of Emperor Maximilian I's significant role as Holy Roman Emperor during the 16th century. The print comes from "Österreich - Land Und Volk" an Austrian literature publication by R. Lechner (Wilhelm Muller) based in Vienna circa 1935. Its inclusion in this collection highlights its value as both artistic documentation and tourist attraction for those interested in exploring Tyrol's history and religious landmarks. Overall, this evocative image invites viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind these remarkable bronze statues but also reflects upon Austria's royal legacy intertwined with religion and culture throughout centuries past.
