Framed Armor Artwork
When going to war, the goal is to secure the objectives and when necessary inflict as much harm on the enemy as possible. At the same time , people are overly concerned about the possibility of getting injured and this has been a preoccupation for warriors since the dawn of time. Armors used to protect them from swords, arrows and other projectiles and over the centuries, they changed their appearance greatly, with FramedArt.com depicting the most famous versions in Framed Armor Art.
In ancient times, chain mails were the most popular armors, with the interlocking iron rings protecting the one wearing them from direct hits. They were popular all over Europe and the Romans adopted them while making slight modifications, to make them lighter without cutting down on durability. Many Framed Armor Art dedicated to those times feature soldiers wearing chain mail, although in other parts of the world, different types of personal armor were relied upon.
History buffs who check out Chinese and Japanese Framed Armor Art will notice that those warriors used laminated armor. Eventually cuirasses and plates were invented and in addition to protecting the body, they also granted a distinctive look to the warrior. Depending on their rank and position, samurais wore different armors, with some of them being inspired by the Chinese versions. For an accurate depiction of European armors, art and history buffs should admire the Portrait of Charles II by Philippe de Champagne
