EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of armor from the 16th century. The Breastplate (with lance rest and fauld) is a stunning example of German craftsmanship, dating back to the years between 1510 and 1530. Made from steel with black paint and leather straps, this breastplate weighs approximately 3.10 kg. The intricate details on this breastplate are truly awe-inspiring. Its design features a lance rest and fauld, adding both functionality and elegance to the overall piece. The lance rest would have allowed the wearer to securely hold their weapon during battle, while the fauld provided additional protection for the lower torso. Now housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artifact was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance. Its historical significance cannot be overstated - it offers us a glimpse into an era when armor played an essential role in military strategy. The combination of painted black accents against gleaming steel creates a visually striking contrast that adds to its allure as an art object beyond its practical purpose as protective gear. As we admire this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how such craftsmanship has stood the test of time, reminding us of our ancestors' dedication to both beauty and defense in times gone by.
