 |
|
W. Stilleborn and I were exchanging messages and he mentioned "gothic beauty" upon seeing some photos. That prompted me to post a few for all to see.
Attached here is some Gothic beautify found at the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich.
(I have no further info other than what it is posted. Consider this a gallery for you guys to discuss amongst yourselves...)
Cheers!

As magnificent as that armor is... My question is... Are the lances original?

*crying* It's.... So.... Beautiful!!!!
Seriously, though. That is fantastic. I love the subtle variations... Hinged visors, couter patterns, etc.
Are all of them post 1480?

Wow, great stuff Nathan. Really beautiful. I've never seen any of those images.
Funny, when you mentioned "gothic beauty" I figured this is the gothic beauty that you would be into

Probably. There are many surviving lances. It's not rare. |
I had no idea that lances were fluted to reduce weight. Facinating.

Arma Bohemia has two harnesses among their products that are very similar to two of the Bayerische ones in this thread;

I've been there!!! and can provide more modern and thousands (literally) more photos upon requests. There's some more artifacts that arn't armour such as some swords, spurs and a gun-crossbow... yes that's right a flintlock rifle with a crossbow on the underside. I thought that was pretty cool...
anyway photos on request.

Gorgeous stuff, Nathan. Thanks for posting these beautiful works of art. Does anyone know who these were made for? They certainly look like high-end pieces. I also note that these were made for fellows with pretty skinny legs - they sure wouldn't fit me! I guess the original owners spent a lot of time on horseback, and not much time marching.

While many parts of these armours were real enough, none of them are displayed in this fashion anymore. Some of the parts are bogus (that giant pierced work rondel, ouch!). Other parts are early 'Maximilian'. They are very reminiscent of the sort of composed 'gothic' armours owned by collectors. There seems to be only ONE complete, homogeneous 'gothic' armour in the world, the famous 'Sigismund' harness.
