Capitano grande 1598

"Capitano Grande" is an engraving created by Christoph Krieger in 1598. The artwork depicts a man, likely a captain, in full 16th-century garb, including a long coat, a hat, and a dagger. He appears to be addressing the viewer, with a slightly raised right hand, and his left hand is resting on his hip. This woodcut is part of a larger illustrated book. The intricate details and the elaborate ornamentation surrounding the figure are characteristic of the woodcut style. It offers a glimpse into the fashion and social hierarchy of the late Renaissance.
