"Der Hellebardier Zu Pferde" (The Halberdier on Horseback) is an exquisite engraving created by the German artist Barthel Beham, a prominent figure of the Northern Renaissance. Born in 1502, Beham was part of the influential Beham brothers, alongside his older sibling, Hans Sebald Beham. Both brothers were known for their intricate engravings and contributions to the printmaking art form during the early 16th century.

Barthel Beham's "Der Hellebardier Zu Pferde" is a testament to his skill and attention to detail. The engraving depicts a mounted halberdier, a soldier armed with a halberd, which is a combined spear and battle-axe. The figure is portrayed with remarkable precision, showcasing Beham's mastery in rendering textures and intricate details, from the armor and weaponry to the musculature of the horse. The composition reflects the martial spirit and the chivalric ideals prevalent during the Renaissance period.

Beham's work is often characterized by its meticulous line work and the ability to convey complex textures and forms within the constraints of the engraving medium. "Der Hellebardier Zu Pferde" exemplifies these qualities, highlighting the artist's proficiency in capturing both the human and equine forms with a high degree of realism and dynamism. The engraving also reflects the influence of Albrecht Dürer, a leading figure in the Northern Renaissance, under whom Beham is believed to have studied.

The historical context of the engraving is significant, as it was created during a time of considerable social and political upheaval in Germany. The early 16th century was marked by the Reformation and the Peasants' War, events that undoubtedly influenced the themes and subjects of contemporary artists. Beham's depiction of a halberdier may be interpreted as a reflection of the militaristic and turbulent atmosphere of the period.

"Der Hellebardier Zu Pferde" remains an important work within Barthel Beham's oeuvre, illustrating his technical prowess and his ability to encapsulate the essence of his time through the medium of engraving. The piece continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance, contributing to our understanding of Renaissance art and the cultural landscape of 16th-century Germany.
