EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Reinforcing bevor, meticulously crafted for use in the tourney during the 16th century. Created by the German School, this steel masterpiece measures an impressive 19.7x23.2x11.6 cm at its maximum dimensions and is currently housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, UK. The craftsmanship of this piece is truly remarkable; every detail has been hammered, shaped, and riveted with precision. The etched decoration on a blackened ground adds an exquisite touch to its overall aesthetic appeal. The patina that has developed over time further enhances its historical significance. Originally designed for military purposes, this bevor served as protective armor for the face and neck during jousting tournaments or other combat events of that era. Its robust construction ensured maximum safety while engaging in these intense physical contests. Through this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to a time when chivalry reigned supreme and knights donned such elaborate armor to showcase their prowess on horseback. This piece not only represents a significant part of German history but also serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of metalwork during the Renaissance period. As we admire this stunning work of art captured through photography, let us appreciate both its historical value and artistic beauty that continue to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed.
