Ahrrrrg! Techno Pookas are beating me senseless! Now I have to separate out the recipients.You just don't want to know what I have been through trying to get this one out! One last try.

My computer informed me that it failed to send this on the first try. Huh? But I forgot a couple of things so I guess it is for the best. Sorry if this is a repeat due to techno burps.


Greetings from Keterlin:

Here is a bit of info for those what asked.

The woodblock prints done for Maximilian are in three works. The Triumph of Maximilian contains, The Procession, Arch, and Chariot. There was also a Funerary procession which I have not looked into at this time. Each of the three are made up of multiple prints, several hundred in the first two.

I just finished a veritable asstack (pardon) of research for said images and this was the best source I found. You can click on the images and then get zooms and prints...

You will want to look up artists Hans Burgkmair, Hans Spriningklee, Albrecht Durer, Albrecht Altdofer, Lenard (Lohenard & other spellings) Beck, Wolf Traut, Hans Weiditz, Jorg Kolderer und Hans Sebald Beham, and so on.

http://www.thebritishmuseum.ac.uk/compass/ixbin/goto?id=OBJ2502 This is the British museums digital archive of the Triumphal arch. Limited zooms available and print quality is low.

http://www.artbma.org/paintedprints/html/pp11.html short information about colored prints of the arch.

http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/d/durer/2/12/8triumph/index.html Some nice details from the arch and a brief intro to Durer.

http://durer.szepmuveszeti.hu/eng_durer.html Possibly the most complete collection of these woodcuts, unfortunate bug/limitation with zoom and print process

Unfortunately a lot of the other links I had are broken, but there is a lot of stuff out there, and this should be enough to get going on things. Don't forget that there are some wonderful books out there for your libraries as well.

Allen Gluck!
