Huomo d’arme 1598

"Huomo d’arme," a woodcut print by Christoph Krieger, dated 1598, depicts a fully armored soldier standing in profile holding a staff and sword. The soldier's armor is meticulously detailed with the artist employing a technique of hatching to create a sense of depth and volume. The print is framed with decorative borders featuring stylized figures and flora, typical of Renaissance artwork. The image is a testament to the artistry of the period and provides a glimpse into the military fashion of the late 16th century.
