"Emperor Maximilian I, c.1508-09" is a notable portrait attributed to the Flemish Renaissance painter Joos van Cleve. This work captures the likeness of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, who reigned from 1493 until his death in 1519. The painting is a significant example of early 16th-century portraiture, reflecting both the artistic style of the Northern Renaissance and the political stature of its subject.

Joos van Cleve, active primarily in Antwerp, was renowned for his detailed and realistic portraits, as well as his religious compositions. His ability to convey the personality and status of his sitters made him a sought-after artist among the European nobility. In "Emperor Maximilian I," van Cleve employs his characteristic meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of textures and the intricate patterns of the Emperor's attire.

The portrait depicts Maximilian I in a three-quarter view, a common pose in Renaissance portraiture that allows for a more dynamic representation of the subject. The Emperor is adorned in regal garments, with a fur-lined cloak and a richly decorated hat, emphasizing his imperial authority and wealth. His stern yet contemplative expression suggests both his political acumen and the burdens of leadership.

This painting not only serves as a visual document of Maximilian I's appearance but also as a testament to the cultural and political milieu of the time. The early 1500s were a period of significant change and consolidation within the Holy Roman Empire, and portraits like this one played a role in asserting the power and legitimacy of the ruling class.

"Emperor Maximilian I, c.1508-09" is housed in a prominent art collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance. The work exemplifies Joos van Cleve's skill in portraiture and provides valuable insight into the representation of European royalty during the Renaissance.
