## Commentary

Some of the historical figures that Hans Daucher carved on this relief are identified. Riding a horse, whose rich trappings are emblazoned with the arms of the House of Habsburg, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V \(1500-1558\)leads his retinue across a bridge with laurel-crowned Emperor Maximilian I \(1459-1519\) at his side \(symbolically, since Maximilian was recently deceased\). Standing behind the two emperors is Maximilian&#39;s court jester Kunz von der Rosen.
