EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of armor from the 16th century. Known as a leg guard or greave, this steel plate was crafted by the German School and measures an impressive 43.2x12.4 cm. Currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, it is part of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance's generous gift to the museum. The intricate metalwork on this greave exemplifies the craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized armor production during this period. Designed to protect the shin and leg, it served as an essential component for warriors engaged in battle. The metallic sheen of this artifact adds to its allure, reflecting light off its surface with every angle change. Its robust construction ensures maximum protection while allowing for ease of movement on the battlefield. As we admire this stunning piece, we are reminded of its historical significance as militaria - a tangible link to a time when armored knights roamed European battlefields. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured every aspect of this leg guard through their expert photography skills, enabling us to appreciate its beauty even from afar.
