Albrecht Dürer's woodcut, *The Marriage of Philip the Fair to Joanna of Austria*, depicts scenes from the life of Emperor Maximilian I. The scene is set in a landscape filled with numerous figures and details, a style characteristic of Dürer's detailed works. This is a proof for a larger print commissioned by the city of Nuremberg to celebrate the marriage of Maximilian's grandson, Phillip the Fair, to Joanna of Austria. The work exemplifies Dürer's mastery of woodcut printing.
