Twee Germaanse krijgers, figura I 1614 - 1616

"Twee Germaanse krijgers, figura I" (Two Germanic Warriors, Figure I), created between 1614 and 1616 by Nicolaes van Geelkercken, is an etching that depicts a scene of war with two warriors on horseback. One warrior carries a shield and a spear with the head of an enemy on it, and the other warrior is armed with a sword. The artwork showcases Van Geelkercken's mastery of detail and use of light and shadow to create a dynamic and dramatic scene. The etching is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
