LF Pictures: Childhood armor of Philip the Fair
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 12:43 pm
Hello,
This is a rather specific questions. I'm certain that there are pictures on the web by my google-fu is failing me today.
I am looking for pictures of the armor for Young Philip the Fair aka 'Philip I of Castile and León' (not Philip IV of France). The suit was produced by Hans Prunner, Innsbruck 1488/89 and is housed in the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum. Rüstkammer inv A9. It is recognizeable as being built for an adolecent boy and it is missing it sallet but not it's bevor.
The reason I am interested is I am intrigued by how the tassets are mounted to the fauld. If anyone possibly has any closeups from visiting the museum in Austria, especially any shots from the back that might show the strapping, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Sean
