Re: Post 32, landscape with cannon, 1518
Added coat of arms of Nuremberg as depicted on cannon.
This was apparently one of a number of 'iron plates' and depicting curiously a group of Ottomans around an outdated cannon from Nuremberg. At this time Maximilian I, Holy Roman emperor was calling for a crusade against the Turks, which did not materialize. The symbolism in the work is unclear.
