"Theuerdarnk on a Boar Hunt" is a woodcut by Hans Burgkmair, dated 1517. The print depicts a scene from the epic poem *Theuerdank*, which tells the story of the hero Theuerdank's adventures. The woodcut shows the hero on horseback, engaged in a boar hunt, a popular theme in medieval and Renaissance art. It is one of 118 woodcuts that were created for the book *Die geuerlicheiten vnd einsteils der geschichten des loblichen streytparen vnd hochberümbten helds vnd Ritters herr Tewrdannckhs*, which is a historical account of the travels of Emperor Maximilian I. Burgkmair’s detailed woodcut, with its rich landscapes, intricate figures, and dramatic composition, reflects the artistic styles of the German Renaissance. The woodcut was likely intended to be both aesthetically pleasing and informative, contributing to the overall narrative of the book.
