EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Soldier with lance, c. 1600" takes us back to the 17th century in the Netherlands during the Golden Age. Created by Jacob II de Gheyn, a renowned Dutch artist of that era, this print showcases a soldier dressed in full armor and helmet, holding a lance with great poise and precision. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every element from the soldier's uniform to his weapon is meticulously depicted. It is evident that this piece was part of an instructional manual on military training as it belongs to a series called "Exercise of Armes for calivres, muskettes and pikes after the ordre of Maurits Prince of Orange". The image captures not only the physicality but also the discipline required in handling such weaponry. The soldier's stance exudes confidence and expertise as he demonstrates proper technique for using a lance. This engraving serves as both an educational tool for soldiers-in-training and an artistic representation of Dutch mannerism. Displayed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this print offers us a glimpse into the military practices prevalent during that time period. It symbolizes an era when warfare was highly regarded as an art form requiring skillful execution. As we admire this historical masterpiece by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and provide insights into different aspects of human history – even those related to war and weaponry.
