EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate craftsmanship of a Cantle, also known as back two-piece saddle steels, dating back to approximately 1575. Created by an unknown artist during the 16th century in Italy, this piece falls under the category of applied arts and specifically belongs to European armor. The image captures the stunning details of this gilded steel object, which was primarily used for horse armor during warfare. The golden hue adds a touch of opulence and grandeur to its overall appearance. Its historical significance lies in its connection to Italian heritage art and its representation of war and battle. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate both the artistic value and functional purpose behind such creations from centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and skill in crafting objects that were not only practical but also visually striking. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact frozen in time, it transports us back to an era when battles were fought on horseback with knights clad in magnificent armors like these saddle steels. This print is a window into history, reminding us of our rich cultural heritage while inspiring awe for those who came before us.
