During the Renaissance, armor served more than just utilitarian purposes. It embodied power and high status, its appearance reflecting the latest fashion trends, and ceremonial portraits in armor were particularly popular. The worlds of Renaissance armorers and artists were closely linked, ranging from creative collaborations to marriages, and the armorer Filippo Negroli even earned a mention in the works of Giorgio Vasari.

The book devotes special attention to the myths and stereotypes associated with armor, from the era of theatrical tournaments, antique counterfeits, and idealized Middle Ages to the present day of television series and video games.

Renaissance armor continues to live on in contemporary fashion, art, and popular culture, and now, amidst a wave of interest in "medieval weirdness," it is once again enjoying a revival.
