Embossed Carlos V Suit of Armour
The Embossed Carlos V Suit of Armour offers a captivating look into the grandeur of medieval combat attire. Drawing inspiration from the rich history of armor that dates back to the Egyptians, this suit represents the culmination of centuries of design evolution. The Greeks and Romans significantly influenced the development of medieval armor, which became prominent in Europe by the 14th century. Crafted from steel or iron plates and connected with hooks, nuts, and nails, this armor was both functional and stylish, secured with straps and clasps suitable for both infantry and cavalry. By the late 15th century, armor like this one evolved into a luxurious garment adorned with intricate designs and artistic embellishments. However, with the advancement of firearms in the 17th century, the use of such armor began to wane. By the 18th century, armor had primarily become a decorative piece in castles, palaces, and museums.
The Royal Armoury in Madrid houses one of the largest and most impressive collections of armor globally. This collection includes notable pieces from the 16th century, particularly from the era of Carlos V. Inspired by these historic artifacts, Marto meticulously reproduces them. They use materials akin to the originals, such as hand-molded iron and steel, and incorporate brocades that mimic period fabrics. Each suit features an “ancient patina” to protect against oxidation and preserve its historical elegance.
