Turkse ruiter 1488 - 1492

"Turkse ruiter" (Turkish Rider) is a 15th-century engraving by the anonymous artist known as the Master of the Amsterdam Cabinet. The artwork depicts a rider in traditional Turkish attire, mounted on horseback. The scene is set in a landscape with a river and a distant castle. The detailed depiction of the rider's clothing and the landscape reflects the Master's interest in capturing the visual details of his subject. The work demonstrates a high level of skill in engraving and is a fascinating example of early Northern European printmaking.
