Epirota before 1558

"Epirota" is a 16th-century engraving by Enea Vico, a prominent Italian artist known for his detailed depictions of historical figures. This artwork features a soldier, likely an Epirota (a soldier from Epirus, a region in northwestern Greece), carrying a crossbow and a quiver of arrows. The engraving's meticulous detail and the soldier's confident stance are characteristic of Vico's style. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Vico's contribution to the Renaissance artistic tradition, showcasing his skill in capturing human form and military attire.
