About this product
Product Information
Of all the riches of the sixteenth-century European nobleman, none spoke more powerfully of his heroism, wealth and taste than his armour, clothing and weapons. Drawing on the V&A's popular arms and armour collection, Angus Patterson looks at the suits designed to kill, protect and impress. From parade suits, lavishly embossed and gilded, decorated with plumes of ostrich feathers and draped with colourful silk sashes to swords, daggers, pistols and gunpowder flasks slung from elaborate belts, detailed new photography alongside paintings and sculpture bring medieval and renaissance fashion to life.Product Identifiers

A new way of looking at Armour
A well-researched and innovative study of Renaissance armour in the context of contemporary men's fashion and of social attitudes to displays of military status, etc. The book is well illustrated and elegantly written.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
