The White King's Council with the Captors, from Der Weisskunig 1514 - 1516

"The White King's Council with the Captors" is a woodcut by German Renaissance artist Hans Burgkmair, created between 1514 and 1516. The print depicts a council meeting with several men seated around a table, with a window visible in the background. This detailed woodcut is one of 118 illustrations from the *Weisskunig*, a chronicle of the life of Emperor Maximilian I, and showcases Burgkmair's mastery of the medium. The scene, set in a domestic setting, focuses on the conversation between the council members. The high level of detail and realism further enhances the narrative of the scene. The print is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
