Hans Burgkmair's woodcut, *Karel de Grote, Godfried IV van Bouillon en Koning Arthur als drie christelijke helden,* depicts three Christian heroes: Charlemagne, Godfrey of Bouillon, and King Arthur. Created between 1516 and 1519, the artwork shows the three figures in armor, holding shields and swords. The woodcut is a testament to the artistic style of the early 16th century, showcasing the detailed, linear quality of the design. The combination of historical figures and their representation as Christian heroes speaks to the values and beliefs of the time.
