EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Rondache, or round shield, dating back to the late 16th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of Italian artisans, this steel shield measures an impressive 56.5x56.5 cm and is now housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art. The intricate design on this shield immediately catches one's attention. Etched into its surface are ornate patterns that radiate from a central point, resembling spokes on a wheel. This decorative arrangement not only adds aesthetic appeal but also serves as a symbol of protection and strength. The Rondache was an essential part of military equipment during its time, providing defense for soldiers on the battlefield. Its circular shape offered full coverage and allowed for easy maneuverability in combat situations. As we gaze upon this stunning artifact captured by Bridgeman Images, we can't help but marvel at its craftsmanship and historical significance. The etched details tell stories of battles fought long ago while reminding us of the importance placed on both functionality and beauty in armor design. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance's generous gift to the museum, visitors can now appreciate this exceptional example of Italian militaria up close at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA.
