EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close helmet in the distinctive Maximilian style, crafted between 1510 and 1530. Made of steel with brass rivets, this remarkable piece of armor is attributed to the German School from the 16th century. Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, its dimensions measure approximately 29.2x34.9x23.5 cm. Noteworthy for its regularly fluted surfaces, this type of armor gained popularity in South Germany during the early 1500s and became known as Maximilian style due to its introduction during Emperor Maximilian I's reign (1493-1519). The design reflects both male fashion trends of that era and the transition towards rounded forms characteristic of Renaissance aesthetics. The photograph captures every intricate detail of this protective headgear: from its metal grille visor to the meticulously crafted fluting on its surface. It serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship exhibited by armorers during this period. Donated by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this close helmet represents an important artifact within militaria collections worldwide. Its historical significance lies not only in providing protection but also in embodying an artistic expression reflecting societal changes during one of Europe's most transformative periods - when medieval traditions gave way to new Renaissance ideals.
