EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval craftsmanship - the Gothic mitten gauntlet for the right hand, dating back to around 1490. Created by an unknown European School artist from the 15th century, this steel gauntlet measures approximately 32x9.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Originating from South Germany or Austria, this gothic-inspired gauntlet was designed as a form of protective armor during the Middle Ages. Its intricate construction features rivets and plate detailing, ensuring maximum defense for its wearer's hand. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of this historical artifact, highlighting its fine details and sturdy structure. The image allows us to appreciate not only its functional purpose but also its aesthetic appeal. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. John L. Severance's generous gift, this extraordinary piece has found a permanent home at the Cleveland Museum of Art where it can be admired by art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. With this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how our ancestors prioritized protection on the battlefield while still embracing artistic expression through their armor design choices.
