Theodoor van Thulden's engraving *The Marriage of Maximilian of Austria with Mary of Burgundy* depicts the historical marriage of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, to Mary, Duchess of Burgundy. The print depicts the wedding scene, set under a grand arch, with the figures dressed in rich attire and surrounded by symbolism that underscores the importance of this union for the Burgundian and Habsburg families. Though the artwork is undated, the engraving was created by Theodoor van Thulden, a Dutch Baroque artist known for his work in printmaking and painting, between 1606 and 1669. The artwork, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is an important document of European history.
