This print showcases a foot soldier carrying an harquebus, dating back to 1590. The harquebus was a groundbreaking invention from Spain in the mid-15th century and marked the first gun to be fired from the shoulder. This engraving, after Degli habiti antichi et moderni by Cesare Vecellio, beautifully captures the essence of this innovative weapon. The soldier depicted in this image is dressed in traditional military attire, complete with a helmet and sword at his side. His strong stance exudes confidence and determination as he carries the harquebus with pride. The black and white aesthetic adds depth to this historical moment, emphasizing its significance. This print not only highlights the advancements in weaponry during that time but also serves as a reminder of Italy's contribution to military innovation. It transports us back to the 16th century when infantry soldiers like him played crucial roles on battlefields across Europe. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured by Cesare Vecellio and Unknown creator, we are reminded of how technology has evolved over centuries. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit for better tools for warfare
