During the 1510s Dürer was intensely occupied with a number of projects for the Emperor Maximilian I. These included the Triumphal Arch and illustrations for the Prayer Book and for other planned publications. This did not, however, prevent Dürer from experimenting concurrently with etchings on iron (1515/18). Again the result was apparent disappointment and abandonment, notwithstanding the effectiveness of some of the sheets. After only six experiments Dürer ceased to work in this medium.
