The Two Armies at the Battle of Ravenna is a 1512 ink by Master NA.DAT with the Mousetrap, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows two armies clashing in a chaotic battle. Soldiers on horseback and foot fight with swords, shields, and cannons. One side wears armor and helmets, while the other has feathered headpieces and bare chests. A crowd of people watches from a hillside in the background, and a city sits beyond them. The artist used fine lines and shading to create depth, focusing on the action up close. This style was common in Renaissance prints, where detail mattered more than color. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made prints before photography.
Master NA.DAT with the Mousetrap (1512–1513) was an artist.
