The Great Triumphal Car of Emperor Maximilian

Albrecht Dürer

Cleveland Museum of Art

An ornate, old-fashioned illustration of a chariot drawn by four horses. The chariot has four people standing in it, each holding a wreath. The chariot is decorated with various designs and patterns, featuring wheels on the back. Three people pull the chariot from the front, one holding a bow. Above the horses are several words including "Fortitudo," "Velocitas," "Felicitas," and "Visulatas." The background includes text in a language that appears to be Latin.
