EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the late 15th century - the Standing pavise of Klausen. Crafted with meticulous detail, this wooden shield stands tall at 117.5x58.5 cm, serving as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the German School during the early Renaissance period. The pavise's vibrant colors immediately catch the eye; its striking combination of red and yellow hues adds an air of regality and strength to this medieval masterpiece. Adorned with intricate ironwork and boasting a protective boarskin covering, it is evident that no expense was spared in creating this formidable piece of armor. Originally designed for jousting tournaments, this standing pavise served as both defense and symbol of prestige for knights during Northern Renaissance times. Its Gothic-inspired design reflects an era where chivalry and honor were highly valued. Now housed within The Art Institute of Chicago's esteemed George F. Harding Collection, this relic transports viewers back in time to an age filled with pageantry and valiant feats on horseback. As we admire its painted surface and sturdy construction, we are reminded not only of its practical purpose but also its artistic significance within the broader context of Renaissance art. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' exceptional photography skills, we can now appreciate every intricate detail captured in this stunning image print without commercial use restrictions – allowing us to delve into history through our own personal exploration.
