EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 15th century - a Shield for the Field or Tournament (Targe) of German origin. Crafted by an unknown creator, this medieval masterpiece is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Germany. The shield, made from wood covered in gesso and pigments, features intricate heraldic designs that symbolize power and nobility. Its imposing silhouette commands attention, while its vibrant colors add an air of majesty to any setting. A prominent element on this shield is the depiction of two rearing goats, representing strength and resilience. These animals are intricately carved into the wooden surface with great precision and detail. The use of silver accents further enhances their regal presence. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this antique treasure not only serves as a military defense tool but also stands as a work of art in its own right. It offers us a glimpse into the medieval era when tournaments were held to showcase chivalry and prowess. As we admire this close-up image, we can't help but marvel at how such craftsmanship has stood the test of time. This photograph allows us to appreciate every aspect - from the fine fabric covering to the delicate coat-of-arms emblazoned upon it. Intriguingly mysterious due to its unknown creator, this Shield for the Field or Tournament transports us back in time and reminds us of our enduring fascination with history's treasures.
