Heinrich Aldegrever's 1553 engraving "Vertical Panel with Inhabited Candelabrum Rising from a Cuirass" is a fine example of the German Renaissance style. The piece depicts a highly detailed candelabrum composed of intertwining foliage, culminating in a human torso at the base. The candelabrum is densely populated with grotesque figures and foliage, showcasing Aldegrever's mastery of detail and his ability to merge classical and fantastical elements. The engraving is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
