EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, created by Robert Willemsz de Baudous in 1608, transports us back to the 17th century and offers a glimpse into the world of armed forces. The image depicts a soldier proudly holding up his caliver in his right hand while extending his left to receive it. This scene is part of the Marksmen series, specifically plate 3, from "Waffenhandlung von den Roren Musquetten undt Spiessen / Wapenhandelinghe van Roers Musquetten Ende Spiessen" (The Exercise of Arms). The intricate engraving showcases the artist's attention to detail as he captures not only the physicality of the soldier but also conveys a sense of historical significance. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the importance placed on weaponry during that era. Displayed at an art gallery or museum like The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this antique piece serves as a testament to Netherlandish heritage and history. It stands among other prints and illustrations that depict scenes from warfare and military life. As we observe this illustration today, we can appreciate its artistic value while contemplating its cultural significance. It reminds us that war has been an integral part of human history for centuries and prompts us to reflect on how our understanding and depiction of armed forces have evolved over time.
