Paperback. Condizione: New. The Coloring Book of Armor showcases a remarkable selection of armor in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, giving artists of all ages the opportunity to explore a wide range of designs from a variety of countries. Armor was initially developed for the practical purpose of protecting the wearer from injury, but it also fulfilled other functions. When decorated with magical or religious symbols and texts, it could invoke the powerful assistance of outside forces, including gods. When featuring the emblems of a community or a leader, it fostered a sense of belonging. When made of or decorated with precious metals, it denoted rank and resources. Here there are more than 40 line drawings for coloring, including a dragon-shaped shaffron (horse's head armor) used in tournaments by the future Henry II of France; the highly decorative suit of armor worn by George Clifford, a favorite of Elizabeth I of England; a 17th-century Japanese helmet in the shape of a sea conch; distinctive armor of chain mail and steel plate from the Indian Kingdom of Sindh; and a striking 19th-century appliqued tunic from Sudan. Photographs of all pieces are provided, allowing you to follow the original coloring - or you may decide to create your own dazzling color schemes. The book also features a concise description of each item, highlighting its origin, materials, and function. A delightful introduction to an extraordinary art form, this volume will inspire you to learn more about armor and what it can tell us about our ancestors and different traditions and cultures from around the world.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. A detailed look at the ambition and artistic legacy of Emperor Maximilian I and his passion for armor and chivalry Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I (1459?1519) crafted a public persona and personal mythology that earned him the romantic sobriquet the ?Last Knight? and that perpetuates his legend to this day. In his lifelong quest to establish himself as Europe?s noblest ruler, he commissioned art, epics, and lineages, as well as exceptional armor from the most celebrated armorers in Europe. Published to coincide with the 500th anniversary of his death, this book discusses the ramifications of Maximilian?s wide-ranging political aspirations and artistic legacy and is the first to concentrate on the importance of armor and concepts of chivalry in the construction of his identity.    Maximilian established the prominence of the Habsburgs through advantageous alliances, expanding their dominions across Europe and into the New World. He commissioned grandiose projects, some of which rank among the most ambitious in European history. But more than this, he created a profile for the ruler?a combination of idealism and vainglory?that not only helped shape the identity of the growing German nation but also has resonances in the current political climate worldwide. This superb volume provides a rare picture of how art, armor, and the cult of personality helped shape the politics of Europe at the dawn of the Renaissance.Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University PressExhibition Schedule:The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (October 7, 2019?January 5, 2020).…
