EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Gothic armor - the Gothic breastplate, dating back to around 1485. Crafted by an unknown European School artist from South Germany or Austria during the 15th century, this steel breastplate measures an impressive 50.5x35.8x15.8 cm. The intricate design of this breastplate is evident in its contours and pronounced vertical ridge down the center, which were purposefully created to deflect projectiles and blades on the battlefield. This magnificent piece of metalwork served as protective armor for warriors during the Middle Ages. Currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artifact was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance to be enjoyed by art enthusiasts worldwide. Capturing both strength and elegance simultaneously, this gothic breastplate represents a significant part of medieval militaria history. Its metallic construction serves as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of armorers from centuries past. With its rich historical significance and stunning visual appeal, this print is perfect for admirers of medieval art or those fascinated by military artifacts from times gone by.
