Parade Armour of Henry II of France
The Parade Armour of Henry II of France, now in Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is believed to date from c 1553-55 and is attributed to the French goldsmith and engraver Étienne Delaune. Designed for use in pageantry, the armour was fashioned of gold, silver and steel and with leather and red velvet trimmings.〔Burn, 134〕 It was created for Henry II of France as ceremonial wear; the figures embossed on the breastplate and back are intended to reflect his military achievements.
There are 20 surviving mid-sixteenth drawings, thought to be by Delaune, that were used for sketching out the original design.〔Montebello, 65〕〔"(Armor of Henry II, King of France (reigned 1547–59) )". Metropolitan Museum of Art. Retrieved 19 September 2015〕 Later additions and modifications are attributed to Baptiste Pellerin and Jean Cousin the Elder. The Metropolitan acquired the armour in 1939 via the Harris Brisbane Dick Fund.
==Description==
The adornments consist of dense passages of foliate scrolls which are derived from Arabesque art. The imagery contain both human figures and fantastical creatures.〔 The latter seems influenced by the Italian Grotesque, particularly the work of sculptors Francesco Primaticcio and Benvenuto Cellini, both of whom produced works for Henry II.〔Snyder (1987), 140〕
The human figures include a Roman warrior representing Triumph and Fame.〔 He receives tribute from two kneeling women. The Roman mythology theme appears elsewhere as well: Apollo chases the nymph Daphne across the breastplate and appears on the back with the slain monster Python. This triumphant symbolism is intended to reflect Henry's military achievements.〔 Henry's badge, a crescent moon, appears in several places.〔
