Parts of an armour.
Unknown Artist / Maker.
South Germany, probably Augsburg.
Date: c. 1550.
Medium: Steel, copper alloy, leather and gold, embossed, etched and gilt.

📝This group of objects comprises portions of a large garniture made, probably in Augsburg, for a member of the Hürnheim family, probably Hans Walther von Hürnheim (d. 1557), a prominent Swabian nobleman who served both in the government of the Emperor Charles V and as mercenary captain. He is known to have had ten thousand Landsknechte under his command, fought on the Imperial side at the Battle of Mühlberg (1547) and led mercenary forces in many other campaigns in the service of the Empire. He was also a member of the order of the Knights of the Golden Spur, a chivalric brotherhood made up of elite Imperial officers. The Hürnheim connection is confirmed by the family’s coat of arms displayed on the shaffron escutcheon: a pair of golden stag’s antlers on a red field.
The complete armour was originally comprised of a field harness which could be configured for different forms of combat using a set of exchange pieces for field, joust, and tournament. Some of these ‘double pieces’ make up the Wallace Collection group, composed of a light burgonet and left pauldron for the field, a left gauntlet, a right demi-cuisse, a pair of partial greaves, the reinforcing bevor, grandguard, reinforcing breastplate, tasset and gauntlet reinforce for the German joust in the ‘Italian’ fashion (Welschgestech), a manifer for one of the jousts in the German fashion, probably some form of Rennen or ‘joust of war’ and a half-shaffron. The essential field armour portions of this elegant garniture are today in the collection of the Royal Armouries, Leeds (inv. II.187). In the 1950s the field armour, then at the Tower of London, was brought together with the Wallace Collection pieces, so that the garniture’s Italian joust configuration could be recreated.

Armor of Giovanni Battista Bourbon del Monte (1541–1614).
Date: ca. 1590.
Culture: Italian, possibly Brescia.
Medium: Steel, gold, textile, leather.
Dimensions: Wt. of helmet 4 lb. 12 oz. (2155 g).
Accession Number: 14.25.710a–f.

📝Del Monte (1541–1614) was a mercenary soldier who at various times served the emperor, the pope, the kings of Spain and France, and the Venetian Republic. This armor dates from the period of del Monte’s service to Venice as captain-general of infantry. It probably was made in Brescia, an armor-making center then under Venetian control.
The armor is notable for its elegantly pointed helmet with a steel plume and for the etched and gilt decoration in imitation of a textile pattern. Overall decoration of this kind was especially fashionable in the period from 1590 to 1610.
A portrait of del Monte in the Museo Stibbert, Florence, shows this armor with its shoulder pieces, arms and gauntlets, now missing.
Two glaives bearing the del Monte coat of arms are also in the Metropolitan Museum’s collection (acc. nos. 04.3.88, .89). Originally, they would have been carried by the captain-general’s personal guards.

Breastplate with applied stop-rib.

Date: ca. 1420–40.

Culture: Italian.

Medium: Steel.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This early example of a one-piece breastplate comes from a large horde of armor from the fortress of the knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem on the Mediterranean island of Rhodes, which fell to the Turks in 1522. The V-shaped stop rib served to deflect the points of weapons away from the neck.

📝This armor is a deluxe version of a typical cuirassier’s armor, worn by heavy cavalry armed with sword and pistols. Its rich ornament and light weight, however, indicate that it was designed primarily for ceremonial wear and as a symbol of martial status.
The punched and chiseled decoration is characteristic of elaborate Milanese armor of the early seventeenth century. The designs include numerous crowned ovals enclosing bees, the badge of the Barberini, one of Rome’s most powerful families. The Barberini rose to prominence, wealth, and power with the election of Maffeo Barberini as Pope Urban VIII in 1623. Presumably, this armor was made for the ranking secular member of the family, either Carlo (1562–1630) or his son Tadeo (1603–1647). The pope’s brother, Carlo was general of the papal armies and duke of Monterotondo from 1623 and prince of Palestrina from 1629. Taddeo succeeded to his father’s titles and offices in 1630.

📝The gauntlet’s elaborately chiseled and damascened decoration exemplifies the highest quality of late Renaissance Milanese metalworking. The owner’s crowned monogram on the cuff identifies the gauntlet as belonging to the armor of Don Alonzo Pérez de Guzman el Bueno (1550–1619), count of Niebla and duke of Medina-Sidonia, the commander of the ill-fated armada sent against England in 1588. The rest of the duke’s armor, a heavy bulletproof harness that was practical despite its rich decoration, is preserved in the Royal Armory, Madrid.

Cuirassier’s Armor.
Date: dated 1621; helmet brim and buffe, 19th century.

📝This armor appears to belong to a small group of finely made Dutch armors from the first third of the seventeenth century. The date is found in the decoration of the lowest plates of the poleyns (knee defenses) and reads, ANNO (left); 1621 (right). The helmet’s brim and falling buffe (face defense) are restorations dating from the nineteenth century. Both the breastplate and backplate of this armor were proved, that is, a pistol or musket was fired at them to ensure that they were bulletproof. The resulting dent was then hammered out to leave only a slight depression, which was incorporated into the decoration.

Field Armor of Maximilian I.

Lorenz Helmschmid (German, Augsburg, ca. 1445–1516).

Date: 1479–80.

Culture: South German, Augsburg.

Medium: Steel, copper alloy, leather

Dimensions:

H. 70 5/8 in. (179.5 cm).

W. 29 7/8 in. (76 cm).

D. 27 in. (68.5 cm).

Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, Hofjagd- und Rüstkammer.

Lorenz Helmschmid does not normally work for Sigmund von Tirol, the owner of this armor, but primarily for Emperor Maximilian I, whose armor orders can be partially reconstructed from the so-called Thunian sketchbook. This armor was probably also ordered by Maximilian. He probably wore it as a young prince and later gave it to his uncle Sigmund on the occasion of his wedding to his second wife Katharina von Sachsen in 1484.
