Three Soldiers with Muskets 1506 - 1516

"Three Soldiers with Muskets" (1506-1516) is a woodcut by German artist Hans Schäufelein. The print depicts three soldiers marching, their muskets held at the ready. Schäufelein's detailed rendering of the soldiers' armor and weapons reflects the burgeoning use of firearms in early 16th-century Europe. This artwork is a prime example of Schäufelein's skill in depicting the details of military life, and is a fascinating testament to the changing nature of warfare during this period.
