Family coat of arms Baldung 1530

"Family Coat of Arms Baldung" is a 1530 woodcut by the renowned German Renaissance artist Hans Baldung (c. 1484-1545). The design features a heraldic shield adorned with two rearing unicorns, one of which is positioned above the shield, while the other is depicted within the curve of the shield's form. The detailed etching in the woodblock, combined with the dynamic poses of the unicorns, adds visual interest to the traditional form of a coat of arms. The intricate swirling patterns and scrolling foliage that surround the unicorns suggest the flourishing of decorative artistic forms in the German Renaissance.
