# Apprentices Fighting [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SCHONGAUER, Martin]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Engraving, 57 x 73 mm ## Commentary Apprentices Fighting c. 1485 Engraving, 57 x 73 mm Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, San Francisco It is with Schongauer's generation that purely secular genre, once restricted to the marginal areas of art, began to receive treatment on its own. Most of these are of modest format, and the subjects reflect the motifs of earlier drolleries: scenes of peasants working, playing, fighting, or animals cavorting and prancing. A good example is his tiny print of Apprentices Fighting with two young boys wrestling and pulling hair. ## Related artworks - [A Foolish Virgin]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Annunciate Angel]() - [Annunciate Madonna]() - [Betrayal and Capture of Christ]() - [Carrying the Cross]() - [Censer]() - [Christ on the Cross with Four Angels]() - [Elephant]() - [Entombment]() - [Madonna and Child in a Rose Arbour]() - [Madonna and Child in the Couryard]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
