About the Item
Title: "Armaments of Yore: A Study of Medieval Helmets and Armor"
Description: This pair of prints presents a detailed study of medieval combat gear, showcasing the intricate design and craftsmanship of helmets and body armor from bygone eras. On the left, we see two types of helmets, or "casques," each exhibiting the robust metallic construction designed to protect a knight's head and face in battle. The visor and neck guard are particularly prominent, demonstrating functionality and defense mechanisms.
The right print delves into the body protection elements, featuring a "hauberk" or mail shirt and a "cuirass," a piece of armor consisting of a breastplate and backplate. The cuirass is embellished with ornamental designs, indicating status and artistry beyond its defensive purpose. The hauberk beneath suggests layers of defense, crucial for survival in close combat.
Together, these prints offer a window into the martial attire of medieval warriors, reflecting both the martial demands and the aesthetic sensibilities of the time..
The colors have a nice glow over them. Historically, egg whites, known as glair, and sometimes egg yolk were indeed used in illumination and painting, particularly in manuscripts, to give colors a brighter appearance and to add a sheen or gloss to the work. This technique was quite common during the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance.
Egg whites can be applied as a varnish over pigments to enhance their brightness and to protect the colors. This application could make the colors appear more vivid and also add a slight glossy sheen to the surface of the image.
Egg yolk, on the other hand, was commonly used as a binding agent in paint. It forms the basis of tempera paint, a medium that was widely used before the advent of oil painting. Egg yolk helps to create a durable and long-lasting color that adheres well to various surfaces.
In the context of the print from 1847, it's less likely that egg whites or yolks were used directly on the print, as by that time, commercial printing processes would have been more advanced and less reliant on such manual methods. However, if this print is a representation of an earlier style or is meant to mimic the appearance of hand-painted manuscripts, the original artists might have employed techniques or materials that gave a similar effect to those achieved with egg-based binders and varnishes.
