EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Morion for the Bodyguard of the Prince-Elector of Saxony. Created in Nuremberg, Germany around 1570, this exquisite armor is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and artistry of the 16th century. The morion itself is an imposing helmet made from steel and brass, adorned with intricate etchings and gilded accents that shimmer in golden hues. Its black color adds an air of mystery and power to this protective headpiece, while its coat of arms proudly displays the heritage and heraldry associated with its wearer. As we zoom in on this close-up shot, every detail becomes more apparent - from the carefully crafted leather straps that secure it firmly to one's head, to the decorative elements that enhance its overall beauty. This artifact not only represents a vital occupation within society but also serves as a symbol of authority and protection during times of war. Martin Schneider skillfully captures this historical treasure through his lens at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. With his expertise in heritage art photography, he brings us closer to understanding our past by immortalizing objects like these for future generations to appreciate.
