Iron Men: Fashion in Steel

Stefan Krause

4.9/5 (9197 ratings)

Description:Our image of a knight in shining armor is a story of misunderstandings: we think of him as a mediaeval warrior both brave and manly but also immobile and clumsy, encased in heavy steel armor apparently designed solely for fighting – whether on the battlefield or in tournaments, a sport that seems savage and martial to a modern day spectator. The parfit gentle knight displayed his chivalrous side only in the company of ladies.The origins of many of these stereotypical images and the roots of our romantic-glorifying ideas about knights and armor and the concept of masculinity associated with them are much younger than one might imagine: most are based on nineteenth- century depictions that continue to inform modern literature, films, TV productions, and popular culture – from Ivanhoe to King Arthur, from Monty Python and the Holy Grail to Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.The exhibition Iron Men – Fashion in Steel at the Kunsthistorisches Museum addressed these misconceptions about armor. It took a fresh look, often from an unexpected vantage point, and explored what life was really like for these “iron men”.Iron Men – Fashion in Steel explores the prominent role that armor played in early-modern society, art, and culture. It illustrates its importance as a political and dynastic symbol, as a diplomatic gift, as a personal and historical souvenir, and, last but not least, as fashionable steel attire and a fantastic, symbolic disguise – across religious, ideological, and gender boundaries.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
