EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Schiavona Broadsword, originating from Venice in the early 1700s. Crafted with meticulous detail, this weapon features a steel blade and an exquisite silver wire grip, complemented by a silver pommel. The Italian School of the 18th century created this masterpiece, which now resides at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The sheer elegance and craftsmanship of this broadsword is truly awe-inspiring. With an overall length of 107.30 cm and weighing just 1.28 kg, it exemplifies both beauty and functionality. The blade measures approximately 92.70 cm while the grip spans about 9.80 cm in width. Additionally, its guard extends to around 12.70 cm. Gifted to the museum by Mr. and Mrs John L Severance, this piece represents an important part of Venetian history during the eighteenth century - a time when swords were not only weapons but also symbols of status and power. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact captured by Bridgeman Images' lens for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to a time when swordsmanship was revered as an art form in Italy's rich cultural heritage.
