The work belongs to a series documenting the ceremonial entry of the Emperor into Bologna for his coronation in 1530. Hogenberg, a Flemish artist active during the early sixteenth century, provides a detailed record of the period's courtly attire and social hierarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition follows a linear, frieze-like arrangement, typical of processional prints from the era. The figures are mounted on horseback, moving from left to right across the frame. Each rider is rendered with attention to the specific regalia of their office, including maces and staves. The Latin inscriptions at the base identify the roles of the participants: Corynophori, Virgiferi, Hostiarii, and Ianitores. These labels clarify the specific duties of the court attendants, ranging from mace-bearers to door-keepers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHogenberg employs a precise etching technique to define the textures of the horses' manes, the folds of the riders' cloaks, and the metallic sheen of their ceremonial equipment. The background remains largely empty, focusing the viewer's attention on the rhythmic movement of the procession. This print functions as a historical document, capturing the visual order of the Habsburg court. The work reflects the interest in classical revival and civic pageantry that defined the cultural climate of the Northern Renaissance. By documenting these specific courtly roles, Hogenberg provides insight into the administrative structure surrounding one of the most powerful monarchs of the sixteenth century. The print is a clear example of the graphic arts being used to record state events and maintain the visual identity of the imperial court.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/gezicht-op-de-palatijn-met-het-septizonium-hieronymus-cock\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGezicht op de Palatijn met het Septizonium - Hieronymus Cock — Hieronymus Cock\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/herauten-plaat-p-nicolaas-hogenberg\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHerauten, plaat P - Nicolaas Hogenberg — Nicolaas Hogenberg\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nicolas Hogenberg","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58587822752079,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58587903525199,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58587903557967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58587903590735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58587903623503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58587903656271,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58587903689039,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58587903721807,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58587903754575,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58587903787343,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58587903820111,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58587903852879,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Hoffunctionarissen-van-Karel-V-plaat-13_Poster_CompositorV1_1787882845159.jpg?v=1787884049","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/hoffunctionarissen-van-karel-v-plaat-13-nicolaas-hogenberg","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
