EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a German morion, meticulously conserved at the Armoury of the Royal Palace in Musei Reali, Turin. The helmet itself represents the remarkable fusion of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles that flourished throughout Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. Captured between 1920-1930, this photograph not only captures the exquisite craftsmanship of the XVI century artwork but also highlights its historical significance. The morion stands as a testament to an era when lion-hearted soldiers donned such helmets while engaging in fierce battles. The image beautifully portrays terrestrial mammals like lions alongside other vertebrates, emphasizing their connection with nature's primary elements. It is fascinating to witness how fire symbolizes both destruction and protection within this military context. Accompanying the morion are various military equipment including swords, shields adorned with coats of arms, alluding to a time when armed forces played crucial roles in shaping European history. This scene transports us back to an age where soldiers dedicated their lives to defending their kingdoms and upholding honor on battlefields. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this momentous artifact from Turin's Musei Reali Royal Palace Armoury. Their lens immortalizes not just an object but also evokes emotions associated with work, vocation, and dedication exhibited by those who wore such armor centuries ago. As we gaze upon this striking print today, it serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and pays homage to those who have fought valiantly before us. Let it inspire us to appreciate artistry born out of conflict and reflect on how far we have come since these tumultuous times.
