Maximilian's death came at a time when Dürer was concerned he was losing "my sight and freedom of hand" (perhaps caused by arthritis) and increasingly affected by the writings of Martin Luther.
Iznenadna smrt Maksimilijana I. nastupila je u vrijeme kada je Dürer bio zabrinut zbog gubitka vida i slobodne ruke (možda uzrokovanih artritisom) i sve više pod utjecajem pisanja Martina Luthera.
