EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1535, immersing us in the world of German soldiers during the Renaissance period. The image showcases a lansquenet, a fearsome mercenary known for their distinctive attire and combat skills, accompanied by his loyal companion. Created as a woodcut by the talented artist Erhard Schoen, this piece captures every intricate detail with precision. The lansquenet stands tall and proud, donning his intricately designed armor that reflects both strength and elegance. His eyes exude determination while his grip on his weapon reveals readiness for battle. By his side stands a woman who is believed to be his trusted companion or perhaps even his wife. Her presence adds an intriguing touch of humanity amidst the harshness of war. Printed in 1568 at Nuremberg, Germany on a broadside handbill, this artwork not only serves as an aesthetic masterpiece but also holds historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of these brave men who fought valiantly during turbulent times. Granger Art on Demand has expertly preserved this remarkable piece from their collection - one that encapsulates the essence of German history and culture during this era. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us and left an indelible mark on our collective memory.
