Five Lansquenets and an Oriental on Horseback
new21/Albrecht Durer-682377.jpg
1495 Engraving, 132 x 147 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York In early commentaries the scene was described as a band of robbers attacking D?rer, or as William Tell. More recently it has been suggested that it had originally been intended as a scene beneath the Cross. Italian influence is manifest, but the grouping, particularly the position of the Oriental horseman, is a little awkward. Note the scotch plaid pattern of the Turk's saddlecloth.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Five Lansquenets and an Oriental on Horseback Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : other
