Guarnitura d'armatura di George Clifford, terzo conte di Cumberland

Armorer Made under the direction of Jacob Halder British
1586
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 371
L’armatura di Cumberland, la migliore e più completa guarnitura d’armatura pervenutaci fra quelle delle officine reali di Greenwich, rappresenta il culmine tecnico e ornamentale della scuola. Progettata per essere usata sul campo di battaglia e durante i tornei, fu costruita sotto la guida del maestro armiere Jacob Halder. Comprende l’armatura del guerriero (di circa 27 chili), con diversi elementi intercambiabili o di rinforzo, e quella del cavallo, composta dal frontale (protezione per la testa) e dal fiancale. George Clifford era uno dei cavalieri prediletti dalla regina Elisabetta I e venne nominato “Campione della Regina” nel 1590. Tra i disegni sull’armatura appaiono la rosa dei Tudor, il fiordaliso e il monogramma della regina Elisabetta: due E affiancate.
