EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of craftsmanship from the 17th century - the Stiletto from Brescia. Made entirely of steel, this exquisite Italian weapon measures 23.4x6 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The Stiletto's intricate design immediately catches the eye. Its blade, adorned with decorative elements, tapers to an incredibly sharp pointy spike that speaks volumes about its lethal potential. The handguard or crosspiece features beautifully crafted quillions that add both elegance and functionality to this deadly dagger. Every detail on this stiletto exudes artistry and precision metalwork. From the ornate pommel to the meticulously decorated blade, it is clear that no effort was spared in creating such a stunning weapon. While its purpose may have been primarily defensive or offensive during its time, today we can appreciate it as an extraordinary work of art. This print allows us to marvel at the skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail exhibited by Italian artisans centuries ago. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art pieces like this one, viewers can now admire every aspect of this historic stiletto up close without needing commercial use rights. It serves as a testament not only to human ingenuity but also to our enduring fascination with weapons throughout history.
