| 1560s Jerez de la Frontera by Anthonis van den Wijngaerde |
Joris Hoefnagel (1542-1601AD) was a Flemish artist and frequent traveler in the XVI century.
He drew and printed many so called map (topographical) views of the cities of his era.
In these maps he recorded images of riders in various poses and actions - like these two lancers with the adarga shields on the Jerez de la Frontera's views.
they seem to be dressed in Morisco style, or at least they are wearing a Morisco headgear, while horses' bridles are adorned with large feathers.
