專家說明

One of Dürer's last printed works before his death in April 1528, The Siege of a Fortress is presumed to have been created to accompany his treatise on fortification, published in Nuremberg in 1527. Although this large woodcut was not bound into the treatise, it illustrates a scenario described within, of a siege upon a heavily defended town within a fortress, with a wide moat and reinforced stone walls. The print demonstrates that the fortified town under siege will be more able to withstand or overcome the oncoming attack which has left the towns in the distance ablaze.
