EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle around the Shield and Lance, created by Giovanni Jacopo Caraglio and Raphael around 1527, is a captivating engraving in black on ivory laid paper that depicts a dynamic and intense cavalry battle. This ancient Roman-inspired work of art, which is now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, transports viewers back to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Italy. Caraglio, an accomplished engraver, and Raphael, the renowned painter and architect, collaborated on this masterpiece, resulting in a stunning and intricate visual narrative. The print, which measures approximately 12 x 16 inches, is a testament to the artists' skill and their ability to capture the raw energy and movement of the battle scene. The Battle around the Shield and Lance features a multitude of figures engaged in hand-to-hand combat on horseback. The cavalrymen, dressed in armor and wielding shields and lances, are shown bucking and rearing their horses as they clash with their opponents. The engraving's black and white contrast creates a sense of depth and drama, making it an essential addition to any art collection or gallery exhibition. The print is a conceptual departure from the traditional depictions of ancient Roman battles, as it is not based on any known historical event. Instead, it represents the artists' interpretation of the ideals of ancient Roman warfare and the spirit of chivalry that permeated Italian culture during the Renaissance. The Battle around the Shield and Lance is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the ancient Roman world, or the rich cultural heritage of Italy. Its intricate details and dynamic composition make it a standout piece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
