From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record

At this time Turks claimed a large share of public attention, owing to the rappid westward advance of the Ottoman empire through conquest. Durer shows these family members as semi-savages: a partially nude and bare-foot woman, holding a baby, follows the father, a robust warrior. This unsympathetic portrayal probably reflected contemporary opinion in the Christian north. Germany, Europe

From LinkedCulture

In 1496, Albrecht Dürer turned Europe's fear of Ottoman expansion into this precise engraving. A turbaned rider on horseback looms in the background while five figures crowd the foreground, carrying long spears and a halberd, their tense postures set against a rocky landscape. Dürer studied foreign costume and weaponry with the same intensity he brought to religious subjects. This print reveals how anxiety about the advancing Ottoman empire shaped the European imagination at the close of the fifteenth century.
