Vijf edelherten en standaarddrager te paard 1483 - 1526

This woodcut, created between 1483 and 1526 by German artist Hans Burgkmair, depicts a standard bearer on horseback leading five stags. The composition is characteristic of Burgkmair's work, featuring a strong sense of detail and intricate linework, particularly evident in the stag antlers and the rider's elaborate clothing. The artwork's title "Vijf edelherten en standaarddrager te paard" translates to "Five noble stags and a standard bearer on horseback." While the precise meaning remains unclear, the image likely represents the symbolic power of the stag, a recurring theme in medieval and Renaissance art.
