Frans Hogenberg's "Slag tussen keizerlijke troepen van Tilly en Deense troepen bij Lutter, 1626" is a 1626 woodcut depicting the Battle of Lutter am Barenberge fought between the Imperial forces under Johann Tserclaes, Count of Tilly, and the Danish forces under Christian IV in 1626. The detailed scene, a bird's eye view of the battle, is filled with soldiers and cannons engaged in close combat. The viewer's eye is drawn to the center of the print where the fighting is most intense. This detailed depiction, a powerful visual document of the Thirty Years' War, is a testament to the artistry of Frans Hogenberg, a renowned engraver from the 16th century.
