Brass Breast Ornament Gilded Gilding Gilt Gorget Leather Rivet Steel Applied Arts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Gorget from Germany, dating back to 1620/50. Created by an unknown artist during the 17th century, this antique breast ornament is a true masterpiece of applied arts and armour. The close-up shot beautifully captures the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into its creation. Made from steel, brass gilding, and leather, this gorget represents the artistry prevalent in Europe during that time period. The golden gilding adds a touch of opulence to this decorative object, highlighting its significance as both a symbol of status and protection in times of war. The rivets holding it together are testament to its functionality on the battlefield. Displayed at an esteemed art institute in Chicago, this heritage artwork serves as a reminder of our rich cultural past. Its presence evokes curiosity about the continent it originated from - Germany - and invites contemplation on how such exquisite pieces were crafted centuries ago. As we admire this photograph print today, let us appreciate not only its visual beauty but also recognize its historical value. It stands as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity throughout different eras.
