Saint Martin with his Horse on a Ship

Johannes I van Doetecum

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching of a chaotic scene. A man on horseback wearing a long robe and a halo stands in a boat. The boat and horse are surrounded by other boats. People are fighting with clubs and swords while falling into the water or jumping from boats. The boats are on a body of water near a city with a tall brick wall and gate tower. The water meets a shore on the left with people sitting and standing. In the background, there are more boats on the water and buildings on the shore. The sky has birds flying in it. There is text at the bottom. The style is detailed and busy with many figures and objects.
