EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Von dem Troianischen Krieg, Plate 24," is a woodcut print created by Hans Weiditz in the 16th century. The image is part of a larger portfolio assembled in the 20th century, showcasing Weiditz's masterful depictions of scenes from Petrarch's masterwork, "The Trojan Wars." The print transports us back in time to an ancient city, likely Troy, during a raging sea battle. Weiditz meticulously captures the chaos and intensity of the moment, with ships clashing in the foreground and soldiers engaged in fierce combat on the city walls. The black and white contrast enhances the drama, highlighting the intricate details of the ships' rigging, the soldiers' armor, and the swirling water. Weiditz, known as Hans Weiditz II or Hans Weiditz the Younger, was a prolific German artist who excelled in the art of woodcutting. His illustrations were renowned for their clarity, precision, and historical accuracy. This particular print, created in 1536, was part of a larger body of work that would later be assembled into a portfolio in the 1930s by Max Geisberg. Today, this artwork is housed in the Prints and Drawings Department of the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art center and institute dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of art from all cultures and time periods. The image serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us across time and space, allowing us to bear witness to the rich history and culture of the past.
