EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Parade Partisan, a remarkable piece of weaponry from the 18th century. Created by the German School, this exquisite partisan belonged to August Wilhelm, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1662-1731), who was known for his military prowess and leadership. The partisan is an impressive display of craftsmanship, featuring blued, etched and gilded steel components. Its wooden haft is adorned with an original steel base spike and a silk tassel with alternating blue and gold bands. The coat of arms displayed on the weapon symbolizes the power and authority wielded by its owner. With its intricate engravings and meticulous detailing, this piece exemplifies the artistry prevalent during that era. It served as both a functional weapon for defense purposes and a symbol of prestige for those in positions of authority. Now housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this Parade Partisan stands as a testament to history's rich tapestry. Its acquisition through the Alma Kroeger Fund ensures that future generations can appreciate its beauty and historical significance. Through this print captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers are transported back to a time when weapons were not only tools but also works of art. This image invites us to marvel at the skillful craftsmanship behind such objects while contemplating their role in shaping our past.
