 The designs were cut from 1516 to 1519 by a large team of block-cutters led by Jost de Negker, including Hieronymus Andreae, Cornelis Liefrinck and Willem Liefrinck.The work was not completed by Maximilian's death in 1519 and the project stalled with 139 blocks completed; a large number of portraits of courtiers and German princes were among the casualties, and were never made.Dürer ceased to receive the annual pension of 100 florins paid under Maximilian, and he published his "Large Triumphal Carriage" separately in 1522 (in the description below it is restored in its intended place as block 122 a-g); a smaller equivalent was substituted.
