Combats and Triumphs No. 12 is a 1561 by Etienne Delaune, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a chaotic battle scene with lots of soldiers fighting. Some are on horseback, others are on foot, and everyone’s armed with swords, shields, and spears. The background is dark, making the figures stand out in sharp lines and heavy shading. The artist packed in a lot of action—horses rearing, swords clashing, and bodies tangled together. It’s all very dramatic, like a story unfolding in one intense moment. If you like this kind of detailed, busy artwork, check out Renaissance prints next.
