EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of armor known as the Burgonet with hinged cheek pieces, dating back to the late 16th century. Crafted by the Italian School, this steel helmet is adorned with brass rivets and leather accents, exemplifying exquisite metalwork of its time. Measuring at an impressive 37x31.2x19.2 cm, this burgonet resides in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. It was generously gifted to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance. The intricate design features spiral motifs and decorative elements that add both protection and aesthetic appeal to this medieval headpiece. The hinged cheek pieces provide additional safeguarding for the wearer while allowing flexibility during combat. Symbolizing an era characterized by chivalry and warfare, this bourgundian-style helmet represents a crucial part of militaria from the Middle Ages. Its ornate decoration serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry prevalent during that period. Captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic merit without any commercial intentions or affiliations mentioned here.
