Adellijk heer uit het oude Venetië 1598

Christoph Krieger's "Adellijk heer uit het oude Venetië" is a woodcut depicting a Venetian noble, likely a Doge, in full regalia. The image is framed by elaborate decorative borders, a common feature in 16th-century printed illustrations. Krieger's attention to detail in the noble's clothing and the surrounding ornamentation captures the grandeur of Venetian society during this period. The woodcut, measuring 167 mm in height and 125 mm in width, showcases Krieger's skill in the art of wood engraving and his ability to convey the opulence of the Renaissance era.
