EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating scene from the 16th century. Titled "A Standard-Bearer Flanked by a Lansquenet at each side" it is a woodcut copy created by German artist Hans Schaufelein the Elder. The image showcases two lansquenets, or mercenaries, standing on either side of a standard-bearer. The standard-bearer proudly holds aloft a banner adorned with intricate designs and symbols. His attire reflects the fashion of the time, with his doublet, coat, and jacket all meticulously detailed. An ostrich feather adorns his hat, adding an air of elegance to his appearance. The lansquenets stand tall in their padded hose and slashed sleeves, ready for battle. Their presence adds depth and intensity to the composition as they flank the central figure. Hans Schaufelein's mastery is evident in this woodcut copy as he skillfully captures every detail of clothing and accessories while maintaining a striking contrast between light and dark tones. This piece now resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it serves as an important example of Northern Renaissance art. It offers us a glimpse into both historical context and artistic techniques prevalent during that era. As we admire this print by Hans Schaufelein the Elder, we are transported back to an age when mercenaries played significant roles in warfare while artists like Schaufelein immortalized them through their craft.
