The Battle of Pavia

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The arms are those of Charles V as King of Spain; the crest, a double-headed eagle with wings displayed and surmounted by a crown, appears to be that of the Holy Roman Empire. For a similar rendering of the arms of Charles V, see 31.33.154.

European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

An exhibit at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The fifty thousand objects in the Museum's comprehensive and historically important collection of European sculpture and decorative arts reflect the development of a number of art forms in Western European countries from the early fifteenth through the early twentieth century. The holdings include sculpture in many sizes and media, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, metalwork and jewelry, horological and mathematical instruments, and tapestries and textiles. Ceramics made in Asia for export to European markets and sculpture and decorative arts produced in Latin America during this period are also included among these works.
