2-218920

Pieter Snayers was in many ways the premier battlepainter of the 30-Years War as he excelled in making large, detailed, and often surprisingly accurate birds-eye view paintings of battles and sieges. His paintings are also one of the best sources of information about the dress and equipment of soldiers during the period. His paintings are scattered across a large number of museums and private collections and only a limited number are available online.

Here are over 200 mostly colored illustrations: including double-sided reproductions of about 100 of his paintings, many detailed views, maps, and contemporary engravings, and all in a large format book
