Het Spaanse huwelijk: Filips de Schone trouwt met Johanna van Castilië

The scene shows Philip the Handsome and Joanna of Castile standing in ornate royal attire, flanking a central figure who presents a coat of arms. Below the figures are prominent heraldic shields, including the double-headed imperial eagle. This panel is part of the monumental Triumphal Arch of Maximilian I, a massive woodcut project celebrating the Emperor's lineage.

This work belongs to the Triumphal Arch of Maximilian I, a project that famously integrated Renaissance humanism with esoteric symbolism. The program was devised by figures like Johannes Stabius and Willibald Pirckheimer, who used the 'hieroglyphic' tradition of Horapollo to imbue the Emperor's history with veiled philosophical and symbolic meaning.
