Medaillon met wapentrofee in ornamentale omlijsting 1559

This intricate engraving, created by Hieronymus Wechinger in 1559, showcases a "trophée d'armes," a traditional motif featuring a circular arrangement of weapons. The central figure, a warrior in full armor, is encircled by a vast array of swords, shields, and spears, symbolizing military might and valor. The surrounding ornate frame, filled with fantastical creatures and decorative elements, adds to the overall sense of grandeur and spectacle. The inscription, "MI. DER. ZEIT," likely refers to the time period or context of the work. This engraving, with its meticulous detail and intricate composition, exemplifies the artistic achievements of the German Renaissance.
