The Renaissance is a fascinating period of history, spanning roughly from the 14th-17th Centuries. Though primarily a cultural movement with resurgence in art, science, and literature, as well as an age of great exploration, it was also a period marred by military conflict as the great European powers of the time vied for control and dominance. It was an age of military innovation where the use of gun powder and cannons first came to prominence and were used alongside the heavy cavalry from the previous centuries. As such, it is typically referred to as the "Age of Pike and Shot" as the pike and the arquebus/musket were two of the primary weapons of the period. Though they intend on providing broad coverage of the period, First Legion has decided to launch this range of hand painted military miniatures with the Battle of Pavia in 1525, the climax of the Italian Wars between France and the Spanish Empire with the result of Spanish dominance of the Italian States for the next 200 years. This Arquebusier lines up his shot with care, as reloading is slow and smoke will obscure his next shot.
