Theuerdank 1519

"Theuerdank" is a woodcut from Melchior Pfintzing's 1519 chivalric romance of the same name. The scene depicts a conversation between two figures, likely a knight and a lady. The artwork is characteristic of woodcut printing of the era and features a detailed interior setting, including a colonnade and a throne. The woodcut was part of a larger illustrated book, which aimed to entertain readers and educate them about the ideals of chivalry. This work is a fine example of early-16th-century German printmaking.
