longliveroyalty:Field Armor of Duke Julius of Brunswick-WolfenbüttelDate: circa 1560Artist: UnknownLocation: Philadelphia Museum of ArtNote: The gilded monogram on the torso of this armor, along with the other decorative elements, indicate that it was commissioned by Duke Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (ruled 1568 to 1589). The survival of several comparable armors bearing the same monogram suggests that this suit was part of a set of similar armors made to outfit the duke and his entourage. -- source link
