A Medieval Paper Armoury with Chassica Kirchhoff
About this episode
Danièle Cybulskie interviews Chassica Kirchhoff about the artistic and functional aspects of medieval armour as depicted in the Thun-Hohenstein Album.
To picture the Middle Ages is to picture knights in shining armour. Custom-made, fashionable, and often beautiful, medieval armour was more than just practical: it was art. And in the late Middle Ages, a collection of talented artists captured the functional elegance of armour on paper. This week, Danièle speaks with Chassica Kirchhoff about armour as protection, art, and memorial in the Thun-Hohenstein Album.
