EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Armored Saddle from early 17th century France. Crafted by an unknown creator, this piece of applied art is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and ingenuity of its time. The saddle, made primarily of wood and leather, was designed not only for functional purposes but also as a stunning display of artistic expression. The intricate details on the saddle's surface are truly remarkable. Delicate carvings adorn the wooden frame while richly colored leather accents add a touch of opulence. This armored saddle served as both protection for the rider during times of war and as a symbol of status and prestige. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when horse riding played a significant role in European culture. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can be transformed into works of art through careful design and meticulous craftsmanship. Preserved within the Art Institute Chicago's collection, this armoured saddle stands as a testament to our shared heritage and provides us with valuable insights into centuries-old equestrian traditions. Its presence in our modern world reminds us to appreciate not only the functionality but also the beauty found in objects from bygone eras.
