This woodcut print by Hans Schäufelein, created in 1517, depicts a man crossing a small bridge. The artwork, titled “A Man Crossing a Small Bridge, from Hymmelwagen auff dem, wer wol lebt...,” is part of a series of woodcuts that were created to illustrate a book of moral advice. The man's determined expression and the simple, yet evocative, landscape contribute to the artwork's contemplative tone. The print, with its delicate lines and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of the early 16th century.
