De Bruyn, a Flemish engraver active in Antwerp and Cologne, produced numerous series documenting the dress of various European nations. These prints functioned as visual records for contemporaries, capturing the specific silhouettes, fabrics, and accoutrements associated with different social ranks and regional identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition presents the figures in a manner typical of sixteenth-century costume books: the nobleman is shown mounted, while the lancer is positioned to demonstrate the military equipment of the era. The engraving technique employs fine, precise lines to define the textures of the clothing, the horse's trappings, and the metallic sheen of the armour. Despite the significant degradation of the paper support, the remaining sections reveal the clarity of de Bruyn's draughtsmanship. The Latin inscription, 'Nobilis Italus', identifies the subject, providing a clear cultural context for the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print is a fragment of a larger series, likely intended for a publication on international fashion. Such works were popular among collectors and artists who required accurate references for historical or theatrical costume. The survival of this piece offers a glimpse into the print culture of the late sixteenth century, where the dissemination of visual information regarding foreign customs and military attire was a primary function of the medium. The work remains a document of its time, capturing the intersection of fashion, social status, and military history in Renaissance Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-twelve-months-july-no-7-hans-sebald-beham\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Twelve Months: July (No. 7) - Hans Sebald Beham — Hans Sebald Beham\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/virgin-and-child-with-a-monkey-hieronymus-wierix\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eVirgin and Child with a Monkey - Hieronymus Wierix — Hieronymus Wierix\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Abraham de Bruyn","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491834204495,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58528115556687,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58528115589455,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58528115622223,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58528115654991,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58528115687759,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58528115720527,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58528115753295,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58528115786063,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58528115818831,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58528115851599,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58528115884367,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Italiaanse-jonker-en-lansier_Poster_CompositorV1_1786388768681.jpg?v=1787245924","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/italiaanse-jonker-en-lansier-abraham-de-bruyn","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
