Designer Part of the decoration design by Jean Cousin the Elder French
Designer Part of the decoration design possibly by Baptiste Pellerin French
ca. 1555
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 374
Esta armadura francesa de parada es una de las más ornadas y completas que existen. Su superficie está primorosamente repujada con un denso diseño de arabescos foliados, entre los que aparecen figuras clásicas y criaturas míticas inspiradas en la ornamentación italiana tardorrenacentista y manierista. También está presente la media luna, símbolo favorito de Enrique II. La decoración se ejecutó a partir de diversos bocetos, de los cuales se conservan veinte. Uno es de Jean Cousin el Viejo y el resto de Étienne Delaunne o Baptiste Pellerin, todos ellos distinguidos artistas parisinos de mediados del siglo XVI.
