"Stamboom van Maximiliaan (bovenste deel)," or "Genealogical Tree of Maximilian (upper part)," is a 1515 engraving by German Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer. The complex composition depicts a genealogical tree of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, intricately woven with coats of arms and surrounded by numerous figures and decorative elements. This work exemplifies Dürer's mastery of detail and precision in his rendering of the intricate design, which reflects the importance of lineage and heraldry in the early 16th century.
