On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 374

Esta armadura francesa de parada es una de las más ornadas y completas que existen. Su superficie está primorosamente repujada con un denso diseño de arabescos foliados, entre los que aparecen figuras clásicas y criaturas míticas inspiradas en la ornamentación italiana tardorrenacentista y manierista. También está presente la media luna, símbolo favorito de Enrique II. La decoración se ejecutó a partir de diversos bocetos, de los cuales se conservan veinte. Uno es de Jean Cousin el Viejo y el resto de Étienne Delaunne o Baptiste Pellerin, todos ellos distinguidos artistas parisinos de mediados del siglo XVI.
