EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical scene from the Berner Chronik, created by Diebold Schilling the Elder in 1483. The image depicts soldiers armed with an array of formidable weapons, including guns, lances, and crossbows. Crafted on vellum by the Swiss School during the 15th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The soldiers portrayed here are known as Eidgenossen or "oath comrades" who were renowned for their bravery and loyalty. Clad in intricate armor that reflects the medieval era's craftsmanship, they stand ready for battle. Each soldier wields his chosen weapon with purpose and determination. The presence of guns amidst traditional weaponry highlights an important transition period in warfare history when firearms began to emerge as game-changers on the battlefield. This visual juxtaposition emphasizes how military strategies evolved over time. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured this significant moment through their high-quality reproduction of this historic artwork.
