EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an Italian light cavalryman from the 16th century. Created by Christoph Krieger, a renowned engraver from that era, this artwork showcases the intricate details of the soldier's attire and weaponry. The cavalryman is depicted wearing a complete suit of armor, including a visored helm adorned with a plume. A silk moire scarf elegantly drapes over his corselet, adding a touch of sophistication to his appearance. Armed with both a lance and flintlock arquebus, he exudes power and readiness for battle. The image is framed within an ornate decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, enhancing its artistic appeal. Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot skillfully transformed Krieger's woodcut into this remarkable woodblock engraving. Originally featured in Cesare Vecellio's "Costumes anciens et modernes" published between 1859-1860 in Paris by Firmin Didot Ferris Fils, this print has become part of a private collection. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece today, it transports us back to the late 16th century when brave soldiers like him fought valiantly on horseback as part of their army or troop units. This artwork not only celebrates their courage but also highlights the beauty and craftsmanship found in traditional armor worn during that time period.
