Theuerdank, 1519 - A Glimpse into the Royal Family of King Romreich and his Daughter
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 16th century, immersing us in the world of German royalty. The image depicts a scene from "Theuerdank" a renowned literary work published in 1519, created by an unknown artist. In this woodcut with letterpress artwork, we witness King Romreich alongside his daughter Mary of Burgundy. King Romreich was none other than Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor - a powerful figure who left an indelible mark on history. His daughter Mary inherited her father's regal presence and is seen here exuding grace and elegance. The detailed craftsmanship of this Northern Renaissance piece transports us to a time when literature and art were intertwined. "Theuerdank" itself was written by Melchior Pfintzing (also known as Pfinzing), who collaborated with the anonymous artist to bring this epic poem to life through woodcuts. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this rare print showcases not only the artistic talent but also provides insight into the cultural heritage of Germany during that era. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these historical figures continue to captivate our imagination. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and connect us with our rich past – allowing us to appreciate both its beauty and significance for generations
