This woodcut, created by an artist from Dürer's workshop in 1502, depicts the coat of arms of Maximilian I as King of the Romans. The intricate design features a central shield bearing the imperial eagle, flanked by two lions and a crown, all surrounded by elaborate scrolling vines, leaves, and ribbons. The artwork, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of the detailed, decorative style prevalent in German art of the early 16th century. This woodcut, likely intended as a devotional image, showcases the precision and mastery of woodcutting during the Renaissance period.
