Expand description
Published to celebrate the recent refurbishment of the museum's popular Armor Court, Arms & Armor explores such themes as medieval warfare, tournaments, the process of making and decorating armor, and the Renaissance culture of arms. It also provides a discussion of various forms of weapons. The museum's finest works -- all newly restored -- were specially photographed for the book's large colorplates and searching details. In addition, paintings, tapestries, and engravings show how the objects were used and worn.
