EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Shield, believed to be of Italian origin and crafted around 1535, possibly in Bologna. The mastermind behind this remarkable piece is none other than Girolamo da Treviso, an esteemed artist of the Renaissance era. The shield emanates a sense of grandeur with its vibrant colors and intricate details. Its golden hue exudes opulence and adds a touch of regality to the overall composition. Constructed from wood, linen, gesso, and adorned with gold leaf polychromy, it exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship prevalent during that period. As we delve into this artwork's historical significance, we are transported back to the 16th century when warfare played a prominent role in shaping nations' destinies. This shield symbolizes not only military might but also serves as an emblematic representation of Italy's rich cultural heritage. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this treasure stands as a testament to Girolamo da Treviso's artistic prowess and his contribution to Italian art history. It invites us to marvel at its beauty while contemplating the stories it could tell about battles fought by valiant soldiers under Roman influence. This print allows us to appreciate both the aesthetic appeal and historical context encapsulated within this masterpiece created by Girolamo da Treviso – truly an invaluable addition for any art enthusiast or history aficionado seeking insight into Italy's glorious past.
