EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of half armor from the 16th to 17th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of the German School, this steel masterpiece is hammered and riveted with meticulous precision. Displayed at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, it stands as a testament to both artistry and military prowess. Comprising various components, this suit of armor includes a burgonet helmet, an Almain collar, a cuirass breastplate, short tassets for thigh protection, and two pauldrons and vambraces that almost form a matching set. Each element is expertly designed to provide maximum protection while allowing flexibility for movement on the battlefield. The patina on this half armor adds depth and character to its already impressive appearance. The patinated metalwork speaks volumes about its age and history. With articulated plates meticulously crafted together, this suit of armor demonstrates not only functional excellence but also artistic beauty. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era when knights donned such magnificent suits before embarking on their noble quests. It serves as a reminder of human ingenuity in creating tools for survival during times of conflict.
