Pike Bearer, Facing Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving created by the renowned Dutch artist Hendrik Goltzius in the late 16th century. This masterpiece, dated around the 1580s, showcases a full-length portrait of a man dressed in intricately detailed apparel, embodying the fashion trends of the time. The subject is depicted as a soldier, proudly holding a pike in his right hand, while his left hand rests on the hilt of a sword at his side. The pike, a common weapon during the Renaissance period, is a symbol of military prowess and readiness for war. The man's attire consists of a voluminous, high-collared coat, worn over a fitted jacket and trousers. The coat features ornate lettering and intricate designs, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the era. The jacket, with its tight fit and long sleeves, accentuates the man's physique, while the trousers, gathered at the waist, are held up by a belt. The man's head is adorned with a decorative hat, adding to his regal appearance. The black and white contrast in the engraving enhances the intricacy of the details, making it a striking and timeless piece of art. This print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the rich heritage of European art and fashion during the Renaissance era. The image of the pike bearer, standing tall and facing right, exudes a sense of strength, courage, and determination, making it a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers to this day.
