These European mercenaries, predominantly from Germany, were renowned for their distinctive appearance and military prowess during the late 15th to late 16th centuries.

The attention to detail in this 19th-century artwork allows us to appreciate every intricate element of their attire and weaponry. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical scene, allowing us a glimpse into a time when war was not only a means of survival but also an opportunity for self-expression.
