EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Guerrieri Germani a cavallo" or "Ancient Germanic Cavalry," is an exquisite illustration from Philipp Cluver's seminal work, "Germania Antiqua," published in 1837. The image, created by Verico under the supervision of Giulio Ferrario, offers a fascinating glimpse into the military culture and fashion of the ancient Germanic tribes. The Germanic warriors depicted in this print are expertly rendered in intricate detail, showcasing their distinctive attire and weaponry. They wear winged helmets, symbolizing divine protection, and heavy furs or capes, providing both insulation and a sense of intimidation. Underneath their capes, they don tunics and pants, often adorned with intricate patterns or geometric designs. Socks, a practical necessity for riding, are also visible, adding a touch of color to their otherwise monochromatic outfits. Armed with lances, shields, and occasionally severed heads, these Germanic cavalrymen exude a formidable presence. Their horses, decked out in armor and trappings, are an integral part of their battlefield strategy, allowing them to maneuver swiftly and effectively in the heat of battle. The Germanic army, as depicted in this print, is shown in a disciplined formation, with troops arranged in a wheel or wedge shape, providing both defensive and offensive advantages. The infantry, while not shown in this particular print, would have played a crucial role in supporting the cavalry, creating a formidable force on the battlefield. This historical illustration not only provides insight into the military tactics and fashion of ancient Germanic tribes but also showcases the artistic skill and attention to detail of the time. A true masterpiece, "Guerrieri Germani a cavallo" is a must-have for anyone with an interest in ancient history, military history, or historical fashion.
