The armour-smiths who stand out prominently during this period are the Negrolis of Milan, who have already been referred to, the later Kolmans of Augsburg, and the Seusenhofers of Innsbruck. An example by Koloman Kolman, son of Lorenz, may be seen at the Armeria Real, Madrid (Catálogo No. A65), in a harness made for Charles V. Tuilles are here replaced by tassets, and the figure has a “stechtarche” or tournament shield at the shoulder. Another example, in a noble unfluted suit, is at Vienna. It was made for Count Andreas von Sonnenberg about 1506, and has been already referred to. Desiderius, son of Koloman, also turned out work of the highest character. A specimen of his handiwork is in the Madrid collection. The Kolman’s mark is an armet surmounted by a cross, with the Augsburg armour-smiths’ guild badge. Very little is known concerning the work of Hans Seusenhofer of Innsbruck, beyond the curious “piped” harness at Vienna, made for the Emperor Charles V. when a youth. We have an example of that of his brother Conrad in the exquisite mounted suit, with lamboys, in the Tower of London, made by order of the Emperor Maximilian I., and presented by him to Henry VIII. The date is 1514, and it is chastely engraved with the cognizances of the king, and of his consort Katharine of Arragon. The general theme of the ornamentation throughout is the legend of St. George. The suit is referred to by Viscount Dillon in the _Archæologia_, vol. li. The armourer’s mark is on the helmet, and the suit has been originally silvered over. Jörg Seusenhofer, son of Hans, worthily closes the line; specimens of his work are at the Musée d’Artillerie, Paris, and there is a splendidly enriched harness at Vienna made for the Archduke Ferdinand of Tyrol, about 1547. The collection at the Königl. Zeughaus, Berlin, is in possession of a fine example by this master in a suit made for Francis I. of France. It is engraved and gilded in the French style, evidently in compliment to the King, or by his orders. The breastplate exhibits an early instance of the “peascod.” The leg armour and sollerets are palpable “restorations.” Other examples by this master are given under the heading “Enriched Armour.” The engraving for this suit was done by Hans Perckhamer. Another celebrated armour-smith, who worked under the Emperor Maximilian II., is M. Frauenpreis of Augsburg, of whose work an admirable specimen with lamboys, which has been already referred to, exists at Vienna. PART XIII. DEFENSIVE ARMOUR, 1540–1620, AND TO THE END.
