EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of medieval armor - the Gothic breastplate with lance rest mount. Crafted from steel, this exquisite masterpiece dates back to the late 15th century, between 1490 and 1500. The breastplate stands as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its creator, Domenico dei Barini. Measuring at an impressive 45x35.2 cm, it is now proudly displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. This formidable piece of protective gear was designed specifically for equestrian jousting tournaments during the Middle Ages. Its intricate metalwork not only provided essential protection for the wearer's torso and chest but also served as a functional mount for their lance. Symbolizing both strength and elegance, this gothic-inspired breastplate embodies the spirit of chivalry that defined this era. It represents an important part of military history while also reflecting on sporting events that were popular during medieval times. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance's generous gift, visitors can marvel at this historical artifact up close at the Cleveland Museum of Art today. The photograph captures every detail with precision, allowing viewers to appreciate both its artistic beauty and practical purpose in battle centuries ago.
