EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval craftsmanship - the Backplate, Landshut. Created in the mid-1500s by an unknown German artist from the 16th century, this steel backplate stands as a testament to the artistry and functionality of armor during that era. Measuring at an impressive 41.3x35.9x17.4 cm, this metallic masterpiece is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Donated by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, it serves as a significant addition to their collection. The intricate design and meticulous detailing on this backplate highlight its purpose - protection for the wearer's torso during battle or jousting tournaments. Its shiny surface reflects light with every movement, adding an aura of power and strength to whoever donned it centuries ago. As we gaze upon this historical artifact through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back to a time when knights roamed the land and chivalry reigned supreme. The Landshut Backplate not only represents physical defense but also symbolizes honor and valor associated with medieval militaria. Let us marvel at this extraordinary example of metalwork from the Middle Ages, appreciating both its aesthetic beauty and functional significance within history's annals.
