Amazon Lance Principal Shield Spalart Warrior
EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, created by Robert von Spalart for his Historical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages in 1796, depicts two brave Amazonian women warriors. The women are dressed in armor, each wielding a formidable weapon - a lance in one hand and a sharp axe in the other. Their shields, adorned with intricate designs, are held at the ready, protecting them from potential harm. The women's helmets, adorned with feathers and other decorative elements, complete their battle-ready attire. The Amazonians were a legendary all-female tribe believed to have lived in ancient times, primarily in the region of Themyscira, located near the Black Sea. According to Greek mythology, they were skilled warriors and hunters, living independently of men. This image offers a glimpse into the imagined world of these fierce and powerful women, whose stories have captivated the imagination of generations. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the armor to the delicate featherwork on the helmets, showcase the skill and artistry of the engraver. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Amazonian warriors to life and transporting us to a time long past.
