EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Two-Handed Sword dating back to the late 16th century. Crafted by the skilled hands of the German School, this weapon is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of that era. Made from steel, with a leather and wood grip adorned with a bronze pommel, this sword exudes both strength and elegance. Measuring an impressive overall length of 170.50 cm and weighing 3.28 kg, this two-handed sword was designed for power and control on the battlefield. Its blade stretches out to 125.60 cm while its quillions span at 53.70 cm wide. The grip measures at 43.20 cm in length, providing ample space for both hands to firmly grasp it during combat. Currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this exquisite piece was generously gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L Severance as part of their collection. The photograph captures every intricate detail of this historical artifact - from its razor-sharp blade to its ornate hilt - allowing viewers to appreciate not only its functional purpose but also its artistic beauty. This image serves as a reminder of our rich history and the incredible craftsmanship that went into creating weapons like these during one of Europe's most turbulent periods – truly an invaluable addition to any fine art collection or enthusiast's repertoire.
