EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a closed burgonet helmet from the early 1500s. Crafted with precision in steel, this Italian masterpiece stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the 16th century. Measuring at an impressive 34.3x25.7x22.2 cm, this helmet is on display at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Although its exact origins are uncertain, it is believed to be possibly Milanese in design. The intricate details of this helmet are truly awe-inspiring. The visor adds an air of mystery while providing protection for its wearer during battle or jousting tournaments. Its profile exudes strength and resilience, reflecting the importance placed on military prowess during that era. Every rivet meticulously placed serves as a reminder of the dedication and skill required to create such a work of art. This closed burgonet helmet was not only functional but also served as a symbol of status and power for those who wore it.
