The War at Hainault 

“The War at Hainault” is a woodcut by the German artist Hans Springinklee (1495-1530). The print depicts a battle scene between two armies, possibly representing the War of the League of Cambrai (1508-1516). The detailed, expressive lines of the woodcut give the impression of chaos and movement, with the fighting taking place amongst a hilly landscape with a fortified castle in the background. Springinklee’s work is notable for its dynamism and graphic qualities, typical of the late-Gothic style.
