EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two corseques, also known as chauve-souris, dating back to the 16th century. The corseque is a type of polearm that was predominantly used in France and Italy during the 15th to 17th centuries. This particular pair of corseques, made from steel and wood, is displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The image captures the intricate craftsmanship of these historical weapons. The combination of metal and wood creates a striking visual contrast. Each corseque features a long wooden shaft with an elaborately designed steel blade attached at one end. The blades are pointed and spikey, showcasing their effectiveness as military tools. These polearms were essential on the battlefield during this era, serving both offensive and defensive purposes. Their unique design allowed soldiers to strike opponents from a distance while still maintaining control over their weapon. Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this Italian School artwork represents an important piece of militaria history that has stood the test of time. With its sharp spikes and sturdy construction, it serves as a reminder of the ingenuity behind ancient weaponry. This print by Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the functional significance behind these historic polearms.
