Guests of Honor: Armor as Fashion

Guests of Honor: Armor as Fashion reunites the spectacular Portrait of Jean de Croÿ, 2nd Count of Solre, by Juan van der Hamen y Léon (1596–1631) with three pieces of the gilded armor forged in Brussels and worn by Croÿ in the painting. The eighth installment in the DIA’s Guests of Honor series, which brings single or small groups of extraordinary works from across the globe to Detroit, this display features loans from the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Valenciennes, France, and the private Cruz-Mayor Collection in Spain.
