"The King's Sons Shooting Their Father's Corpse" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist known as Master MZ, whose monogram appears on the work. Master MZ, active during the early 16th century, is identified by these initials, but his full name remains unknown. This particular woodcut is part of a series that illustrates a narrative, possibly allegorical, and is dated to around 1500. The image depicts a macabre and unusual scene in which a group of royal sons shoot arrows at the corpse of their deceased father, a king, as suggested by the title.

The work is executed with the intricate detail characteristic of the Northern Renaissance, and it reflects the period's interest in complex, often moralistic storytelling through visual art. The woodcut medium was a popular form of printmaking during this time, allowing artists to produce multiple copies of their work and reach a wider audience. Master MZ's woodcuts are known for their fine lines and expressive figures, which convey a range of human emotions and narratives.

"The King's Sons Shooting Their Father's Corpse" is significant for its representation of themes such as mortality, familial relationships, and possibly the abuse of power or the consequences of tyranny. The exact meaning of the image, however, is open to interpretation, as is common with many allegorical works of the period. The woodcut is an important example of Master MZ's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic context of early 16th-century Germany.

As an artwork with limited information available, the woodcut's provenance, historical context, and influence on later art may not be fully documented. However, it remains a valuable piece for the study of Renaissance printmaking and the visual language of the era. The woodcut is likely held in a museum or private collection, and it may be studied in the context of other works by Master MZ and his contemporaries.
