Turken in een veldslag 1633

"Turken in een veldslag" (Battle of the Turks) is a 1633 etching by Johann Wilhelm Baur, a German artist who specialized in prints depicting military subjects. This small-scale print, which measures just 105 mm in height and 139 mm in width, depicts a scene of intense action in which mounted knights battle a group of Turkish soldiers. The composition is characterized by dynamic lines and dramatic foreshortening, giving a sense of energy and movement to the scene. Baur's detailed depiction of the battlefield and the individual figures within it provides a glimpse into the artist's interest in military tactics and the realities of warfare. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
