Composite Armor for a Boy 1580-1620, with later additions by museado

From childhood, sons of noblemen might join in ceremonial occasions for which armor was required. Appearing with adult male relatives signaled dynastic continuity and acceptance of a moral code and responsibilities. At a tournament organized in 1560 by Archduke Maximilian (future emperor) for his father Emperor Ferdinand, 8-year-old Rudolf (Maximilian's heir and a future emperor) appeared in armor, "competing" in sword events with his father and other male relatives.

This armor consists of pieces dating to the late 1500s and early 1600s from different sources. They were assembled in the mid-1800s with replacements added for missing parts. The same decorative detailing was etched on all the pieces to harmonize them.

H: 50 in. (127 cm)

medium: steel, gilded copper alloy, leather (assembled and etched in the 1800s)

Ferry Horses ca. 1864 by museado

Veyrassat painted with watercolor in a way that has become popular today. He applied transparent washes of color to the page in a looser style than many of his contemporaries. He may have seen early 19th-century watercolors by British artists who experimented with this technique. This scene of ferry horses recalls the compositions of the English romantic painter John Constable. British art was very influential, especially on French landscape painting, in the decades after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815.

H: 6 7/16 x W: 11 3/4 in. (16.3 x 29.9 cm)

medium: watercolor with graphite underdrawing on cream, moderately thick, slightly textured wove paper

by bequest to Walters Art Museum, 1931.
