Such was Dürer’s renown that he was retained in 1512 as the chief artist for the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I. Dürer’s greatest commission during this period was The Triumphal Arch, the largest woodcut ever produced, requiring 192 blocks. He collaborated with other prominent German artists to produce a Triumphal Procession and to design marginal images for the Emperor's prayer book. His many paintings from these years included several official portraits of the Emperor, the last one completed shortly before Maximilian's death in 1519.
