EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Corseque, also known as chauve-souris, a remarkable weapon dating back to the 16th century. Crafted with steel and wood by the Italian School, this polearm measures an impressive 254x26 cm and is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The Corseque holds great historical significance as it was primarily used in France and Italy during the tumultuous period from the 15th to 17th centuries. Its unique design features a long blade attached to a sturdy wooden shaft, making it both versatile and deadly on the battlefield. As we delve into its intricate details captured by Bridgeman Images, we are drawn to its metallic allure. The polished steel glimmers under any light source while exuding strength and resilience. The spike-like blade adds an element of danger with its sharp pointy edges. This print not only serves as a visual feast for admirers of metalwork but also offers insight into military history. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity in creating weapons that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this exceptional piece reminds us of our ancestors' relentless pursuit of power through warfare. As we marvel at this relic from another era, let us reflect on how far humanity has come in our quest for peace while acknowledging our shared past shaped by conflict and innovation.
