This is really not a good picture at all.
But the pose makes me laugh...he looks like a man taking a really big step.
St. Florian, from an illuminated Book of Hours from Salzburg, Austria, from ca. 1450 to 1460, is depicted in an armour of the day. Note the later kastenbrust-breastplate, the typical deep bell-shaped fauld of the 1440s, 1450s with two large integral tassets, and the symmetrical pauldrons.
By the 1460s the fashion in armour in most of the (southern) German lands would become more influenced by Italian tastes, still following its own course with a lot of fluting (so-called 'gothic') and a symmetrical outline regarding the pauldrons instead of the asymmetrical Italian style.
