Man te paard gekleed als Aurora 1584

Jost Amman's 1584 woodcut, “Man te paard gekleed als Aurora,” depicts a rider in elaborate attire, likely representing the Roman goddess Aurora. The rider holds a staff topped with a rooster, a common symbol of dawn. The ornate details of the horse's harness and the rider's clothing highlight the meticulous craftsmanship of Amman's work, which was typical of the Renaissance period. This print is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The image is characteristic of Amman's style which incorporated a mix of classical and contemporary elements, making it a valuable piece for understanding the artistic trends of 16th-century Europe.
