A couple of prospective armors, drawn up for me by a friend (@anon_1835 on Instagram.)

The heavy cavalry armor (image 1) is basically a complete version of the armor of Duke Giano Campofregoso of Genoa (image 3) from c. 1510. The ¾ armor (image 2) is a composite, inspired by a number of surviving Italian armors from the 1520′s and Dosso Dossi’s c. 1540 painting of Francesco d’Este as St. George (image 4) with the helmet and bevor from a German armor housed at the KHM (image 5.)
