A helmet of very similar form, decorated in the same style, is preserved in the former collection of the Dukes of Este at Konopiště, Czech Republic (inv. no. I.c.D-114, and illustrated Šáda 1986, p. 37, no. 18.t.) The specific inclusion of cannon and artillery tools such as ladles and sponges on the turners and gauntlets may suggest that this was intended for a senior officer of artillery. The Patriarchal Cross, also called the Cross of Lorraine, is probably a reference to the venerated relic of the True Cross in the cathedral at Brescia that is housed within a cross of the same form. Two morions of circa 1570-80, decorated with a similar cross along with the rampant lion of Brescia and attributed to the that town’s guard are respectively preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (acc. no. 14.25.532) and the Museo Civico L. Marzoli, Brescia (inv. no. 330). See Rossi and Di Carpegna 1969, p. 55 cat. no. 120. Another armour of this type, formerly in the collection of Tosio Martinengo, and now in the Museo Civico L. Marzoli, Brescia, is illustrated Rossi, p. 77, cat. No B67. The armour in Brescia has a close helmet in place of Zischagge, a matching stud in the centre of the chest, divisible tassets, enclosed elbows, and similar decoration throughout including the rampant lion of Brescia on the breastplate. A cuirass decorated in a similar manner and attributed to the ownership of one of the Counts Martinengo, is preserved in the Armeria Reale, Turin. See Boccia and Coelho, p. 526, nos. 445, 446 and 448. A slightly later cuirass in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv. no. 5778-1859), is decorated in a related manner, with the conjoined initials ‘AM’, and a Count’s coronet above a Patriarchal Cross and Orb in the centre. The initials are similar to those on the ricasso of a left-hand dagger attributed to Pietro Antonio Martinengo, Count of Brescia (recorded 1644-1671), now preserved in the Art Institute of Chicago (ref. no. 1982.2150).

This was the armour of the body-guard of the Emperor Charles V, and was preserved in Milan for many years, where it was purchased by Lord Somers in the year 1853.’ This armour would have been intended for use without greaves. The decoration is very well matched throughout, perhaps assembled from two, or a small number of armours from a series. A further pair of cuisses from this series are preserved in the Wallace Collection (inv. no. A293 & A294).
