EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable breastplate from Nuremberg, dating back to the mid-16th century. Crafted with steel, this piece of armor measures 31.3x35x20 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Designed to deflect projectiles like crossbow bolts and thrusting lances, this breastplate features intricate embellishments that were highly valued during the Renaissance era. The fine etched decoration depicts a kneeling knight, possibly the owner of this armor, before the Crucifixion. This personalized devotional image may have served as a source of inspiration and protection for its wearer during combat. The religious symbolism is evident through the presence of a cross and the act of prayer depicted on this breastplate. The etching work is exquisite, showcasing both skillful craftsmanship and devotion to Christianity. With its ornate design and meticulous attention to detail, this breastplate not only provided physical protection but also served as an expression of faith for its wearer. Its historical significance lies in its ability to merge military functionality with religious devotion – a testament to the complex interplay between artistry and warfare during that time period. Through this print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are granted a glimpse into history where metalwork becomes an embodiment of both strength and spirituality.
