EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Parade Shield of Henry II, King of France, a remarkable artifact that reflects the rich history and craftsmanship of 16th-century Europe. The shield, originally created during Henry II's reign from 1547 to 1559, is a copy made in Geneva in 1909 but maintains the style and essence of its original design from around 1555. The circular shield features exquisite gilding with traces of gold on iron, demonstrating the mastery of metalwork prevalent during this era. Its decorative elements depict scenes from battle and horseback riding, symbolizing defense and strength. The intricate depiction captures the attention to detail and artistic skill employed by Simoni of Geneva. As an antique applied art piece, this parade shield represents not only French heritage but also European culture as a whole. It now resides at the Art Institute Chicago where it is displayed among other historical artifacts in their esteemed gallery. In this photograph, we see a close-up view highlighting the fine details and vibrant colors present on the shield's surface. The image transports us back in time to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. This stunning piece serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries past while offering viewers an opportunity to connect with our shared cultural heritage.
