EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Shaffron, believed to be from Milan in 1540/70. Created by an unknown artist during the 16th century, this piece falls under the category of applied arts and specifically represents European armor. The Shaffron is a type of horse armor known for its steel and leather composition, designed to protect warhorses during battle. The intricate details on this artifact highlight the rich heritage art that emerged from Italy during this period. The combination of metal and leather creates a visually striking contrast, while the color palette adds depth and character to the piece. Its presence in an esteemed institution like the Art Institute Chicago further emphasizes its significance as a work of art. While we may not know who exactly crafted this remarkable Shaffron, it serves as a testament to the skilled artisans who dedicated their lives to creating functional yet aesthetically pleasing objects for warfare. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the historical context and artistic value behind such artifacts. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness how different continents and countries contributed unique styles within Europe's diverse art scene. Let us marvel at this extraordinary example of applied arts that symbolizes strength, resilience, and innovation in times of war.
