Three Men and a Boy in the Court of a Castle, to the Right Three Men on a Staircase 1514 - 1516

Leonhard Beck’s woodcut print, "Three Men and a Boy in the Court of a Castle, to the Right Three Men on a Staircase," depicts a scene of 16th-century life, likely set in Germany, where Beck lived. The artist captures a sense of architectural detail with the castle's stonework and arched doorway. The figures in the print are dressed in the fashions of the day, conveying social status and roles. The print, created between 1514 and 1516, exemplifies the artistic trends of the early Renaissance, where attention to detail and accurate representation of figures were paramount.
