Spanish giant sporting an impressive rack...
Hah! Now you mention it...!
I am really interested in the reinforces, especially on his arms. They are shown as being on the 'top' surface of his arms 1/
and more or less equally inside and outside, while most such mid-14th art shows that style as being oriented more to the 2/
bottom (ulna/elbow) and outer surface. I now want to see if more art from this time and place shows this style, or is 3/
more conventional. 14 C art armor is fascinating because it is such a transitional period, so much experimentation.
I wish I knew someone Spanish to retweet this to
