Notes on Arms and Armor SUV. U5 ; NOTES ON ARMS AND ARMOR THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART NOTES ON ARMS AND ARMOR BY BASHFORD DEAN CURATOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ARMS AND ARMOR NEW YORK M C M X V I I. / Z~ PREFACE the field of arms and armor The Metropohtan Museum IiN of Art has hitherto pubhshed four handbooks or cata- logues, viz. : Catalogue of the Loan Collection of Japan- ese Armor (Handbook No. 14), 1903, 71 pp., 14 figs. (Out of Print); Catalogue of European Arms and Armor (Hand- book No. 15), 1905, 215 pp., loi figs. (Out of Print); Catalogue of a Loan Collection of Arms and Armor, 19,1 i, 85 pp., pis. i-xlvii; Handbook of the Collection of Arms and Armor, including the William H. Riggs Donation. 1915. 161 pp., pis. i-lxv [Edition 1, January, Edition II, March]. Together with these appeared from time to time in the Museum Bulletin a series of notes upon various branches of the subject, mainly relating to accessions, but sometimes touching a wider field. Between 1905 and the present year, 19 16, about fifty contributions are recorded, nearly all from the pen of the curator, some brief, some extended. As they were widely scattered, it now seems well to bring them to- gether, with certain changes and additions in both text and figures, together with a hitherto unpublished article, for the use of those who are interested in armor and arms and in the activities of the Museum in this field.

  • Development of Form Making of Door Knockers in Italy in the Xv-Xvii Centuries
    Man In India, 96 (12) : 5677-5697 © Serials Publications DEVELOPMENT OF FORM MAKING OF DOOR KNOCKERS IN ITALY IN THE XV-XVII CENTURIES Tatiana Evgenievna Trofimova* Abstract: Decorative art items - door knockers - combine practical and esthetic features. At the same time they are a part of everyday and art culture, and can tell much about the ideology, lifestyle of the society, and the level of the artistic crafts development at the time when they were created. The goal of this research is to study the role and purpose of door knockers in the Italian culture of the XV-XVII centuries, to research door knockers that continue decorating doors of various Italian cities and towns, to study in details Italian door knockers of the golden age of the bronze-casting art through the samples from the Hermitage in Saint-Petersburg. For this research it was necessary to solve the following tasks: to put the generalized illustrative material in the historical succession, to consider form making of door knockers in accordance with the architectural styles, and symbolic meaning, to define characteristic features of the artistic expression, to reveal regularities in form making and decorating of door knockers, as well as to study and describe samples from the Hermitage in Saint-Petersburg as the best examples of Italian door knockers of the XV-XVII centuries. The following methods were used during the research: - References and analytical: reproduction of the general picture of the development of various forms of door knockers, searching for and systematization

    L ARTE INTEGRADO EN LA BATALLA. ESTUDIO TECNOLÓGICO PREVIO A LA RESTAURACIÓN E DE CINCO ARMADURAS JAPONESAS DEL MUSEO DEL EJÉRCITO DE TOLEDO MARTA PLAZA BELTRÁN // JORGE RIVAS LÓPEZ1 Departamento de Pintura-Restauración. Universidad Complutense de Madrid Abstract: Throughout the eighteenth century the Chinoiserie style spread among the European courts. Based on Chinese and Japanese models, it was reflected both in painting and in architecture, as well as in decorative and textile arts. During this period many oriental items were imported from the Far East in order to decorate palaces and mansions. This was a determining factor for the increment of exotic art collecting, like Japanese lacquerware and Chinese porcelain. Samurai armours represent an exceptional example, which are veritable masterpieces made with remarkable complexity and using a great variety of materials. The main purpose of this article is to show the results prior to the intervention on the restoration of the collection of Japanese ar- mours belonging to the Army Museum in Toledo, Spain. In this way, a formal and symbolic analysis of the different elements involved in these sets will be exposed, as well as the most applied artistic technique to de- corate them: the Japanese lacquer. Key words: armour / samurai / artistic techniques / lacquer. Resumen: A lo largo del siglo XVIII la moda Chinoiserie se difundió entre las cortes europeas. Basada en mo- delos chinos y japoneses, la veremos reflejada tanto en la pintura como en la arquitectura, las artes decorativas o el arte textil. Durante este periodo se importaron numerosos objetos de Extremo Oriente con destino a los palacios y casas señoriales, factor determinante en el auge del coleccionismo de piezas de arte exótico, como las lacas japonesas y la porcelana china.
