Coat of Arms is a 1594 by Nicolaes de Bruyn, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white print of two wolves standing on either side of a coat of arms. The wolves look alert, with their front paws resting on a shield. The shield has a crown on top and a banner with the name "Nicolas de Bruyn fecit" and the year "1594." Below the shield, there’s a small plant and some rocky ground. The wolves seem to guard the coat of arms, which was likely a symbol of family or status. The artist’s name and the year are carved into the banner, showing this was made in 1594. If you like this style, look up Renaissance art next.
Nicolaes de Bruyn (Antwerp, 1571 – Rotterdam, 1656) was a Flemish engraver, who after training in Antwerp was active in the Dutch Republic.
