Hardback. Condición: Good. A detailed look at the ambition and artistic legacy of Emperor Maximilian I and his passion for armor and chivalry Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I (1459?1519) crafted a public persona and personal mythology that earned him the romantic sobriquet the ?Last Knight? and that perpetuates his legend to this day. In his lifelong quest to establish himself as Europe?s noblest ruler, he commissioned art, epics, and lineages, as well as exceptional armor from the most celebrated armorers in Europe. Published to coincide with the 500th anniversary of his death, this book discusses the ramifications of Maximilian?s wide-ranging political aspirations and artistic legacy and is the first to concentrate on the importance of armor and concepts of chivalry in the construction of his identity.    Maximilian established the prominence of the Habsburgs through advantageous alliances, expanding their dominions across Europe and into the New World. He commissioned grandiose projects, some of which rank among the most ambitious in European history. But more than this, he created a profile for the ruler?a combination of idealism and vainglory?that not only helped shape the identity of the growing German nation but also has resonances in the current political climate worldwide. This superb volume provides a rare picture of how art, armor, and the cult of personality helped shape the politics of Europe at the dawn of the Renaissance.Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University PressExhibition Schedule:The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (October 7, 2019?January 5, 2020).…

When decorated with magical or religious symbols and texts, it could invoke the powerful assistance of outside forces, including gods. Should it fail to deflect harm, it would at least help to save one's soul. When featuring the emblems of a community or a leader, it fostered a sense of belonging. When made of or decorated with precious metals, it denoted rank and resources. Popular motifs included flowers and leaves, birds, winged lions, and geometric patterns.
