EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Parade Sword dating back to the late 15th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of Italian artisans, this ornate weapon is a true masterpiece of its time. Made from steel and adorned with intricate etchings and gilded details, it exudes elegance and power. The sword's overall length measures an impressive 101.9 centimeters, weighing only 1 kilogram. Its blade alone spans 85.4 centimeters, while the quillions measure at a width of 17.5 centimeters. The grip boasts a width of 11.10 centimeters or approximately 4 and 5/16 inches. Housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this remarkable piece was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L Severance to be admired by art enthusiasts for generations to come. The craftsmanship displayed on this parade sword is truly exceptional; every detail has been meticulously engraved into the steel surface with utmost precision and care. The golden gilding adds a touch of opulence to an already magnificent weapon. With its historical significance as an emblematic militaria artifact from Ferrara during the Renaissance period, this sword transports us back to a time when chivalry reigned supreme on battlefields across Europe. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this extraordinary work of art through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even from afar.
