EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 15th century - a Shield for the Field or Tournament (Targe) of German origin. Crafted by an unknown creator, this antique piece is a testament to the rich history and heritage of medieval Germany. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details and vibrant colors that adorn this shield. Despite its age, this shield has withstood the test of time, although it bears some signs of damage which only adds to its allure. Made from wood and covered in gesso, leather, and polychrome silver iron decorations, it exudes both strength and beauty. The heraldic motifs displayed on this targe speak volumes about its purpose as a military object during tournaments or battles. A scroll adorned with German text further emphasizes its cultural significance. Intriguingly, a female figure can be seen depicted on this shield alongside other decorative elements. This suggests that women played an important role in medieval society beyond their traditional roles. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this historical treasure offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in the splendor of the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this photograph print captured by Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the craftsmanship and artistry that flourished centuries ago.
