EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval craftsmanship - the Burgonet with hinged cheek pieces, dating back to around 1540. Crafted by the skilled hands of the German School in the 16th century, this steel helmet stands as a testament to both functionality and artistry. Measuring at an impressive 33x28.5x26.2 cm, this burgonet is now proudly displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. It was generously gifted to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance. The intricate design features hinged cheek pieces that provide enhanced protection for its wearer during battle or jousting tournaments. The leather chin strap adds an extra layer of security and comfort. As one gazes upon this magnificent piece, it transports us back to a time when knights donned such helmets as they fearlessly rode into combat on horseback or defended their castles from invaders. With its rich history and undeniable beauty, this burgonet serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity in creating armor that not only safeguarded lives but also showcased artistic flair through metalwork. Now preserved for all to admire within the walls of Cleveland Museum of Art, this burgonet continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure and enduring legacy from centuries past.
