EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a German foot soldier from the early 16th century, circa 1515. The soldier is shown in full battle regalia, his expression stern and determined. He wears a tall, conical helmet adorned with a crest, a long, flowing beard, and a heavy, chainmail hauberk covering his chest and arms. A padded gorget protects his throat, and a pair of bracers shield his forearms. A quilted, padded jacket, or gambeson, is worn underneath, providing additional protection against the sharp edges of swords and pikes. The soldier's legs are covered in hose, held up by a belt, and he wears high, laced boots. In his right hand, he holds a long, two-handed sword, while his left hand grips a large, wooden shield. The intricate detailing on the soldier's armor and clothing is a testament to the advanced craftsmanship of the time. German foot soldiers were an essential part of the military during the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, and their armor and tactics influenced the development of European military forces for centuries to come. This hauntingly beautiful print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and adventure.
