Armour as Renaissance Art
Dr Tobias Capwell, the Wallace Collection's Curator of Arms and Armour, introduces a grotesque visor from a close-helmet. Made in northern Italy around 1525-1550, the detached visor takes the form of the face of a dragon, complete with scales and reptilian fins decorated with lines of staring eyes. Find out how a functional piece of armour can also be a remarkable work of art and how its design, decoration, imagery and associations were an integral part of Renaissance art and literature.
