PIKE CHARGE IN SWISS BATTLE - Konrad Grob Medieval Combat Scene 1894 Engraving
Description:
This explosive 1894 photogravure after Konrad Grob captures the brutal intensity of a Swiss pike charge in a medieval battlefield clash. The engraving depicts a wall of armored infantry wielding long pikes, bracing against an onslaught of frenzied warriors. Bodies tumble beneath the barrage of weapons, flags whip violently overhead, and the tension of hand-to-hand combat surges across the composition. The artist’s skillful control of motion, expression, and perspective immerses the viewer in the chaos and valor of early Swiss warfare.
An exceptional visual account of resistance and strategy during the age of pike and halberd, this dramatic engraving will appeal to collectors of Swiss history, military prints, and heroic realism. Blank on the reverse. Measures approximately 8.25 x 11.75 inches. Shipped flat for protection.
