First image comes from S. Dilbaum 'Eikonografia' circa 1600 (thank you, Samuel for that info).
All three images thanks to my Hungarian friend Imre :)
Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing!
Bardzo interesujące obrazy Dario. Zwłaszcza ostatni, kolorowy. Znów koń rotmistrza wygląda na podmalowanego...;-)
Many to thanks to you Dario and your friend Imre for these images. Interestingly, the second pic actually comes from a painted drinking glass (sic!) http://mek.niif.hu/01900/01911/html/index1674.html
Cheers,
