Hi Michael,
there were still some Landsknecht upto the 17th century! seperately of the vatican-guard of course.
Hans Stantler was a swordcutler in the second half of the 16thC in Muenchen, probably the son of Wolfgang Stantler. (CF Ullstein)

Good job, thank you!

The latter samples of period artwork you posted can actually be attributed to Jost Amman and the late 1550's.
