"Een steekspel en een bode bij een vorst" (A jousting tournament and a herald before a prince) is a 1515 woodcut by German Renaissance artist Albrecht Durer. Depicting two distinct scenes, the work showcases Durer's mastery of detail and composition. The upper scene depicts a jousting tournament, while the lower scene shows a herald presenting a document to a seated prince. The woodcut's intricate detail, including armor, architecture, and figures, reflects Durer's keen observation and technical skill. This work demonstrates Durer's versatility, encompassing both the dynamism of a battle scene and the formality of a courtly event. It is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
