Sallet

Armorer Jörg Wagner Austrian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 373

This sallet is by Jörg Wagner (recorded 1485–92). The armorers of Innsbruck, capital of the Austrian Tirol, thrived under the patronage of the Habsburg court and produced armor that was internationally renowned for the strength of its steel and the beauty of its form. Located near the border between Austria and Italy, this center produced armor that reflected the influence of north and south, combining the elongated and spiky German Gothic style with that of the rounded and more robust forms preferred in Renaissance Italy.
