Parade 1765 - 1806

"Parade" is an engraving by Johann David (I) Schleuen, a German artist, from 1765-1806. This detailed print depicts a large procession of soldiers, likely a military parade, with a backdrop of a town and hills in the distance. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Schleuen's ability to capture the grandeur and spectacle of such an event through fine lines and careful shading, emphasizing the discipline and order of the troops. The engraving's historical value lies in its depiction of 18th-century military life and social structure.
