{"product_id":"landsknechten-nicolaas-hogenberg","title":"Landsknechten - Nicolaas Hogenberg","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed etching by Nicolaas Hogenberg depicting a procession of Landsknechten, showcasing the military pageantry of the sixteenth-century Habsburg Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Nicolaas Hogenberg captures a segment of the grand procession of Emperor Charles V. The composition focuses on the Landsknechten, the mercenary infantry units known for their distinctive attire and long pikes. Hogenberg employs a precise, linear technique to render the dense forest of vertical pikes that dominates the upper portion of the frame. This repetition creates a rhythmic, almost architectural quality, contrasting with the detailed, individualised armour of the mounted figures below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work functions as a visual record of sixteenth-century military pageantry. Hogenberg, a Flemish artist active in the early sixteenth century, was well-regarded for his ability to document the complex movements and ceremonial displays of the imperial court. The figures are depicted with a focus on the material culture of the period, from the ornate caparisons of the horses to the specific plate armour worn by the soldiers. Latin inscriptions at the base provide context, identifying the units as German and Spanish infantry guards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the print demonstrates the capabilities of etching during this period. The artist balances the crowded, busy nature of the procession with clear, defined outlines. The lack of heavy shading allows the viewer to observe the individual components of the military equipment. This piece is a document of European history, reflecting the military organisation and the visual culture of the Habsburg Empire. It offers a glimpse into the formalised displays of power that defined the era, presented with the clarity and attention to detail characteristic of Hogenberg's graphic work. The print remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history of military costume and the development of printmaking in the Northern Renaissance.\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-beautiful-virgin-of-regensburg-albrecht-altdorfer-1\" 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 Beautiful Virgin of Regensburg - Albrecht Altdorfer — Albrecht Altdorfer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bazuinen-en-landsknechten-plaat-ii-nicolaas-hogenberg\" 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;\"\u003eBazuinen en landsknechten, plaat [II] - Nicolaas Hogenberg — Nicolas Hogenberg\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nicolaas Hogenberg","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58586004193615,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58586025492815,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58586025525583,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58586025558351,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58586025591119,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58586025623887,"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":58586025656655,"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":58586025689423,"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":58586025722191,"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":58586025754959,"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":58586025787727,"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":58586025820495,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Landsknechten_Poster_CompositorV1_1787873139724.jpg?v=1787873401","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/landsknechten-nicolaas-hogenberg","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
