This woodcut, "Unfalo Causing Theuerdanck to Fall into a Trap during a Hunt, from Theuerdanck" by Hans Schäufelein, depicts a scene from the epic poem *Theuerdanck*. Theuerdanck, a knight, has fallen into a trap set by Unfalo, a sinister figure. This scene is characteristic of the style of German woodcuts of the early 16th century, with its detailed landscape, dramatic action, and clear, expressive lines. The use of woodcut was a popular printmaking technique in the Renaissance, providing affordable and accessible reproductions of artwork for a wider audience.
