EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Spear rider with open visor, Jacob de Gheyn (II), 1599" takes us back to the world of warfare and military affairs in the late 16th century. The image showcases a skilled cavalryman on horseback, donning an impressive suit of armor. With his visor raised, we can see the determination etched on his face as he prepares for battle. The focus of this artwork lies in the helved weapon he wields - a long spear or lance held upright. This polearm is not only striking but also versatile, allowing for both hacking and thrusting movements during skirmishes. It symbolizes the power and dominance that these armored men possessed on the battlefield. The artist, Jacob de Gheyn (II), masterfully captures the essence of spear riding in this print. The armored man confidently drives forward atop his majestic steed, openly displaying his prowess with this formidable weapon. Quint Lox's interpretation brings out every intricate detail of De Gheyn's work, highlighting its historical significance. As we gaze upon this magnificent piece from Liszt Collection, we are transported to an era where chivalry met conflict head-on. It serves as a reminder of how warfare has evolved over time while showcasing the skill and bravery required by horsemen who fought using spears and lances.
