"Two Mounted Knights" is a woodcut print by German artist Hans Burgkmair the Elder (1473–1531), who was a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance and known for his innovative contributions to the development of the woodcut technique. Created in the early 16th century, this work exemplifies Burgkmair's skill in rendering detailed figures and his ability to convey a sense of movement and vitality within the constraints of the woodcut medium.

The print depicts two knights in full armor, engaged in a jousting match, a popular form of entertainment and martial exercise among the European nobility of the time. The knights are shown mounted on richly adorned horses, and the dynamic composition captures the intensity of the moment just before the impact of the lances. Burgkmair's attention to the intricate details of the armor and the horses' trappings reflects the period's fascination with chivalric culture and the artistry involved in the production of arms and armor.

"Two Mounted Knights" is notable for its technical achievement and the way it reflects the social and cultural interests of the Renaissance period. Burgkmair's use of the chiaroscuro woodcut technique, which involves the use of multiple blocks to create tonal variations, is evident in the print's sophisticated handling of light and shadow, adding depth and a three-dimensional quality to the image.

As a significant work by Hans Burgkmair the Elder, "Two Mounted Knights" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the themes and styles prevalent in early 16th-century German printmaking. The print remains an important piece for the study of Renaissance art and the history of the woodcut, offering insights into the period's visual culture and the evolution of printmaking techniques.
