 Part of the decoration design possibly by Baptiste Pellerin French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 374

Esta armadura francesa de parada é uma das mais ornamentadas e completas que existem. Sua superfície está primorosamente gravada com um denso desenho de arabescos foliados entre os quais aparecem figuras clássicas e criaturas míticas inspiradas na ornamentação italiana tardo-renascentista e maneirista. Também está presente a meia-lua, símbolo favorito de Henrique II. Para executar as decorações foram criados esboços diferentes, tendo sido conservados vinte. Um deles é do primo de Jean, o Velho, e o resto de Étienne Delaunne ou Baptiste Pellerin, todos distintos artistas parisienses de meados do século XVI.
