EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print showcases King Ferdinand V of Castile, a prominent figure in history known for his conquest of Granada in 1492. After this significant victory, he proudly displays the shield of Granada on his left arm, symbolizing his triumph and authority over the region.

In this image, King Ferdinand stands tall among his men, exuding strength and confidence. The intricate details captured by this woodcut highlight both his regal presence and military prowess. This print serves as a testament to King Ferdinand's role in shaping Spanish history through conquests that expanded Spanish territories. The artistic style employed in this woodcut adds depth to its visual appeal while also providing insight into Renaissance art techniques prevalent during that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into one aspect of King Ferdinand's legacy - his military achievements - which continue to be celebrated today.
