Preparatory drawing. Hands of Maximilian.In Feast of the Rosary, Dürer shifted the hands closer together, so that his left hand overlapped his right palm. [2]The work was initially commissioned by Jakob Fugger, an intermediary between emperor Maximilian I and Pope Julius II, during the painter's stay as the banker's guest in Augsburg, though it was produced whilst the painter was in Venice.
Durer also placed quotations from Luther's translation of the German New Testament on the panel beneath the Apostles. [1] Dürer's commitment to his new Protestant identity is further evidenced by placing the saints Paul and John, who were believed to be the most influential to Luther, at the foreground of the painting.
