This print showcases the "Lowest Lame of Long Tasset" from Germany, dating back to the mid-16th century. Originally crafted around 1540/60, this piece underwent later alterations and reworkings. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details and craftsmanship of this antique armor. Displayed in a renowned art institute in Chicago, this artifact represents the applied arts of that era. Its steel construction symbolizes the strength and resilience required for warfare during that time period. The close-up shot allows viewers to appreciate every contour and texture on its surface. The rich color palette adds depth to this historical object, highlighting its significance as part of Europe's heritage art. Although created by an unknown artist, it stands as a testament to German artistic prowess during the Renaissance.
