EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Klausen archers pavise, a remarkable piece of art from the mid-15th century. Crafted with precision and skill by the Austrian School, this wooden pavise stands at an impressive height of 115.5 cm. The pavise is concave towards the back and features a distinct rectangular shape with a rounded top. Its heraldic arms are beautifully displayed on an escutcheon, depicting the iconic red cross of St. George against a pristine white background. Additionally, a six-pointed yellow star symbolizing gold shines brightly on a striking blue/green field. Hailing from south Tyrol in Austria, this pavise served as both armor and protection for archers during medieval times. It represents not only military prowess but also embodies the rich heritage of northern renaissance art. The intricate details and craftsmanship evident in this wooden masterpiece speak volumes about its historical significance. The Klausen archers pavise is truly emblematic of an era when heraldic symbols held great importance in defining one's identity on the battlefield. Preserved within a private collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate and admire this extraordinary relic from centuries past.
