EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 13th and 15th centuries, showcasing two remarkable helmets from that era. The first helmet belonged to Hughes, Vidame of Chalons, a noble figure who lived during the 13th century. Its intricate design reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during this period. The second helmet featured is a tournament helmet from the late 15th century. What makes it particularly fascinating is how it is screwed onto the breastplate, highlighting its practicality for battle. This combination of function and style exemplifies the evolution of armor throughout history. Captured through a wood engraving by Paul Lacroix in his renowned book "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of Renaissance" this image transports us into an age where knights fought valiantly on horseback with these impressive suits of armor. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded of medieval warfare's intensity and valor. The visor on each helmet symbolizes both protection for its wearer and intimidation towards adversaries. Paul Lacroix's meticulous depiction allows us to appreciate not only these specific helmets but also their significance within military history. It serves as a visual reminder that even though times have changed drastically since then, our fascination with medieval culture remains unwavering.
