Munich, 1523. The Emperor Maximillian commissioned a series of woodcuts showing a parade that featured himself dressed as Apollo on an ornate chariot. The parade measures some 26 feet when fully assembled. The only panel that does not have the participants dressed as mythic Greeks is the Minstrels. It is a very curious combination of instruments being performed as the musicians stumble along a rocky path. Hand colored.
