      An Ulm carved wooden figure of Christ as the Man of Sorrows, circa 1460.

      Est: €8,000 - €10,000

      This fine work from the circle of Hans Multscher was designed for private devotion and shows a half-figure depiction of Christ clothed in a perizonium and emerging from a cloud bank. He bears the crown of thorns and wound in His side and holds forth His hands to display the stigmata.

      MAXIMILIAN I (1459-1519) -- TREITZSAURWEIN, Marx (d. 1527). Kaiser Maximilians I. Triumph. Le triomphe de l'empereur Maximilien I ... d'après les desseins de Hans Burgmair. Edited by Adam Bartsch. Vienna: Andrée Schmidt & London: J. Edwards, 1796. 2 volumes, 2° (451 x 300mm). 135 numbered double-page woodcuts, 67 after Burgkmaier. (Plate 70 browned, plate 110 spotted, guards restored.) [And:] Ehrenpforte. Arc triomphal de l'empereur Maximilien I ... d'après les dessins d'Albert Durer. Edited by Adam Bartsch. Vienna: widow of Alberti for T. Mollo, 1799. 2° (634 x 480mm). Double-page letterpress title and 'avertissement' leaf. 50 numbered woodcuts on 43 double-page sheets, the entire design made up from 174 original blocks, and 18 pasted on etchings by Bartsch. Double-page letterpress 'avis au relieur' at end. (A few plates lightly browned, guards restored.) Together, 3 volumes, uniformly bound in contemporary diced russia gilt (rebacked, first work resewn, corners rubbed). Provenance: some plate numbers in vol. II corrected by the publisher -- contemporary 4-page ms. 'Table des noms et remarques écrites sur le dos des planches' inserted in vol. I, and inscribed in pencil 'No. 2305 in La Vallière Cat. Vol. I pt. 2' -- Henry Beaufoy (19th-century bookplate) -- Count Oswald Seilern (1901- 67; booklabel; sale Christie's, 26 March 2003, lot 80). BOTH WORKS ARE PRINTED FROM THE ORIGINAL 16TH-CENTURY BLOCKS, now preserved at the Albertina Museum, Vienna. They were conceived to establish Emperor Maximilian I's place in the imperial Roman tradition and depict on a monumental scale a triumphal procession and arch which were purely imaginary compositions on paper,'the most grandiloquent expression of the art of engraving' (Bliss, p.126). Among the fine woodcuts is Dürer's 'Small Triumphal Chariot', celebrating Maximilian's marriage to Mary of Burgundy. Each woodblock was inscribed on the reverse with the name of the woodcutter and date of delivery -- valuable for our knowledge of 16th-century print-making -- and a manuscript table transcribing the artists's names included in the Seilern copy may provide information no longer fully recoverable from the blocks themselves. The present 1796 edition is the third, but the first to include the design programme written by Treitzsaurwein (1512) in accordance with the emperor's instructions. Brunet V, 933; Dodgson II, p. 96/102-167; Graesse VII, 193; Hollstein V, Burgkmaier 552-618; Lipperheide Sba2; Meder Dürer 251 (p. 223); Strauss Dürer Woodcuts 187. The 'Triumphal Arch', the complement of the 'Triumphal Procession', was originally conceived by the Tyrolean court painter and architect, Jörg Kolderer, as a miniature and developed under the direction of the Emperor by Johannes Stabius. Dürer supervised its execution in print and contributed ornamental details (cf. Strauss p. 504). The arch depicts Maximilian's political history, accomplishments such as his prowess in the chase and experience of artillery, and the genealogy of the House of Hapsburg. Editions were published in 1517-1518, 1526-1528, and 1559. The present fourth edition of 1799 was printed from 174 surviving blocks, while 18 etchings by Bartsch supplied the place of the rest. Dodgson I, p. 311/130-136; Hollstein VII, Dürer 251; Meder Dürer 251 (p. 215); Strauss Dürer Woodcuts 175. (3)
