Two Wrestlers, from Wrestlers, plate 4 1552

"Two Wrestlers" is a 1552 engraving by Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert, depicting a dramatic scene of two men grappling. The detailed anatomical rendering of the figures, created using the technique of hatching, highlights the power and tension of the wrestling match. Coornhert's work reflects the Renaissance interest in classical themes and human anatomy, typical of Northern European art of the time.
