EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration titled "How to adjust the firing posts and how to choose the angle of the walls". Created by Girolamo Cataneo Novarese in 1564, this engraving is a part of his renowned work, Opera nuova di fortificare. The image can be found in Bibliotheque Mazarine, Paris, France. The illustration depicts the intricate science of fortification with great precision. It highlights various elements crucial for strategists and military personnel involved in building fortified towns or defending besieged territories. The focus lies on understanding the effects of canonnieres (arrow slits) and selecting appropriate inclinations for walls. Intriguingly detailed, this artwork offers valuable insights into tactical warfare during that era. It reveals how attackers would approach fortified structures while defenders adjusted their firing positions accordingly. The presence of artillery emphasizes its significance as a powerful weapon during sieges. The composition exudes an aura of strategic planning and meticulous execution. Each element - from ramparts to firing posts - plays a vital role in shaping successful defense strategies against enemy attacks. As we delve into this historical masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to a time when military tactics were honed through careful study and application. This photograph print serves as both an educational tool for enthusiasts interested in fortress architecture and a testament to the brilliance of Girolamo Cataneo Novarese's contribution to military science.
