"Soldier Attaching His Breeches to His Breastplate, after Michelangelo" is an engraving by the Italian printmaker Marcantonio Raimondi (c. 1470/1482 – c. 1534), who was renowned for his works that reproduced or were inspired by the designs of prominent artists of his time, most notably Michelangelo Buonarroti. This particular piece is part of a series of engravings that Raimondi produced after drawings by Michelangelo, showcasing the intense study of human anatomy and the dynamic poses characteristic of the High Renaissance style.

The engraving depicts a muscular soldier in the midst of dressing for battle, fastening his breeches to his breastplate—a moment that captures both the practical aspects of a soldier's life and the idealized physical form that was celebrated during the Renaissance. The subject's concentrated expression and the intricate detailing of his armor and attire reflect the meticulous craftsmanship of Raimondi and the influence of Michelangelo's mastery of the human figure.

Created during the early 16th century, a period marked by the flourishing of the arts in Italy, this work exemplifies the synergy between artists and printmakers of the time. Raimondi's engravings played a significant role in disseminating the styles and motifs of the Italian Renaissance throughout Europe, as prints were more accessible than original paintings or sculptures. "Soldier Attaching His Breeches to His Breastplate" not only demonstrates Raimondi's skill as an engraver but also serves as a testament to the collaborative spirit and the cross-pollination of ideas among artists of the Renaissance era.

The engraving is held in various collections and has been the subject of scholarly attention, particularly in discussions of the transmission of artistic ideas and the role of prints in the replication and reinterpretation of masterworks. It stands as an important example of the interplay between original creation and reproduction that defined much of Renaissance art and continues to be a point of interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike.
