EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of historical craftsmanship - the Rondache, or round shield, dating back to around 1570. Created by the Italian School in the 16th century, this etched and gilded steel shield with brass rivets measures an impressive 57.8x57.8 cm and is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The Rondache is a prime example of Milanese artistry, as highly decorated circular shields like this were a specialty of the city. Originally part of matching armor, this shield features intricate radiating etched bands depicting classical warriors and trophies. Its ornate design serves both functional and aesthetic purposes, providing protection while also exuding beauty. The attention to detail on this shield is remarkable; its patterned spokes create a visually striking effect that draws viewers into its protective embrace. The combination of military elements with decorative motifs makes it an exceptional piece within militaria collections. Gifted to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance, this artifact stands as a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship and artistic expression from Italy's rich cultural heritage. As we admire this photograph capturing every intricate detail, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and continue to inspire awe even centuries later.
