This woodcut by Hans Baldung, a prominent artist of the German Renaissance, is a complex work. Created in 1513, it features a central figure of a man in armor within a decorative border filled with grotesque figures and a coat of arms. The detailed design and use of line create a sense of depth and realism. The inscription at the top adds a layer of symbolism, likely alluding to the character's virtues or triumphs. This piece showcases Baldung's talent for creating intricate scenes and masterful use of the woodcut medium.
