Edition Details: Article in a special issue, “Estremità e escrescenze dei corpi / Extremities and Excrescences of the Body”
This article focuses on sixteenth-century armor, here considered as a symbolic envelopment of the body. Renaissance Armor is essentially a form of parade garment, which lacks a clear or concrete defensive function but is loaded with messages of power. The hardness of the material itself, its brightness, and especially its figurative decoration contribute to the creation of an impenetrable and invincible `second skin'. Close readings of celebrated Italian, Spanish, German and Dutch armor highlight the antique roots of a new sixteenth-century language of armor.
