"Armure: A Symbol of Power and Protection" Throughout history, it has been a powerful symbol representing strength, valor, and protection. From the majestic Pallas Athena adorned in her Armoured Figure to the Battle of Poitiers depicted in vivid detail on canvas, these artworks capture the essence of this timeless concept. In 1664-65, an oil painting portrays Pallas Athena donning her armor, embodying wisdom and strategic prowess. The Battle of Poitiers in 1837 showcases armored warriors locked in a fierce struggle for victory. Charles of Bourbon, supreme commander of French armies during his time from 1490-1527 is immortalized through a colorized engraving document that highlights his military might. The Allegory of Value sculpture from the late 18th century demonstrates how armure extends beyond physical battles; it represents the value we place on honor and courage. Similarly, Samurai Armour from Japan's Edo period combines mixed media to create an awe-inspiring representation of their warrior culture. Bertrand Du Guesclin's engraved image captures another facet - resilience after defeat. As seen in George Hitchcock's painting "Defeated, " a despondent rider crosses tulip fields as he grapples with loss but perseveres nonetheless. Gilles de Raid's engraving further emphasizes the significance attached to armure throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with adversity or conflict, one can find strength within themselves. Samurai Armour belonging to Lord Li Notaka showcases both craftsmanship and functionality with its iron construction and red lacquer finish—a testament to Japanese warrior traditions. Moving forward into more recent times like World War I (1914-1918), war becomes not just about individuals but also about nations. A drawing depicting Germany directing guns while soldiers' bodies lie under fire reminds us that behind grandiose facades lies unimaginable suffering.
