Armatura di Enrico II, re di Francia

Part of the decoration design by Jean Cousin the Elder French
 Part of the decoration design possibly by Baptiste Pellerin French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 374

Questa è una delle armature francesi da parata più elaborate e complete tutt’oggi esistenti. La superficie è delicatamente sbalzata con un fitto disegno di volute a foglia che racchiudono figure classiche e creature fantastiche, ispirate alle decorazioni italiane del tardo Rinascimento e del Manierismo. La mezzaluna, uno dei simboli prediletti di Enrico II, appare anch’essa tra i motivi ornamentali. Tra i venti disegni originali per questa armatura, uno appartiene a Jean Cousin il Vecchio, mentre gli altri sono di Étienne Delaunne o di Baptiste Pellerin, tutti esperti artisti parigini della metà del XVI secolo.
