Bourguignotte à l'antique

Armorer Filippo Negroli Italian
dated 1543
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 374
Cette bourguignotte (casque), chef-d’œuvre de métallurgie de la Renaissance, est signée Filippo Negroli, de Milan. Ses armures décorées par estampage lui valurent les louanges des chroniqueurs du XVIe siècle, qui les disaient « d’une facture miraculeuse et d’une valeur impérissable ». Le timbre du casque est formé d’une feuille d’acier unique gravée en haut-relief à l’antique (c’est-à-dire de motifs inspirés de l’art classique) et patinée pour imiter le bronze. Les côtés sont ornés de putti enveloppés de volutes d’acanthes, le tout étant probablement inspiré des fresques murales de la Maison dorée de Néron, à Rome. Celle-ci avait en effet été redécouverte à la fin du XVe siècle, et sa décoration influença grandement les artistes de la Renaissance.
