The Hand Against the Dagger, c1536 (1903) - A Glimpse into 16th Century Combat
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time from Achille Marozzo's renowned fencing manual, "Opera Nova dell Arte delle Armi" published in 1536. The image showcases an unidentified male figure engaged in a fierce battle, his hand defiantly blocking a menacing dagger. Dressed in intricate clothing of the era, including feathered hat and slashed hose, he epitomizes the fashion of the sixteenth century. The significance of Marozzo's work cannot be overstated; it remains one of the most influential treatises on combat techniques and weaponry during this period. It is believed that Hans Sebald Beham may have contributed to its illustrations, adding further artistic value to this historical masterpiece. Through this photograph print from La Revue De L'Art Ancien et Moderne - Volume XIV (July-December 1903), we are transported back to an age when warfare was not only about brute strength but also about technique and skill. This image serves as a testament to the dedication and artistry involved in mastering various weapons for self-defense or military purposes. As we gaze upon this enigmatic figure locked in combat with his adversary, we are reminded of the timeless nature of human conflict and our eternal quest for survival. This print offers us a glimpse into history while igniting our imagination with tales of bravery and valor on ancient battlegrounds.
