This image showcases Schertlin in his prime, with an air of authority and confidence that belied his impressive military career. Born in Burtenbach, Württemberg, Schertlin entered military service at a young age, rising through the ranks to become a trusted advisor and commander under various German princes. He gained renown for his strategic acumen and tactical prowess, particularly during the German Peasants' War (1524-1525), where he played a pivotal role in quelling the rebellion. Schertlin's military expertise extended beyond the battlefield. He was also an accomplished diplomat, serving as an envoy to the Holy Roman Emperor and the Pope.
