Compagni di calza 1598

"Compagni di Calza" is a woodcut by Christoph Krieger, dated 1598. The artwork depicts a man in elaborate clothing, possibly a member of a guild or society, standing in a simple pose with his hands clasped. The intricate details of the man's attire are highlighted, and the surrounding ornate frame adds to the overall sense of grandeur. The use of woodcut, a common technique for printmaking at the time, creates a distinct black and white aesthetic, typical of early engravings. This artwork is a testament to Krieger's ability to capture the nuances of fashion and social hierarchy of the late Renaissance era.
