This flintlock gun, crafted between 1595 and 1645, was likely made for King Louis XIII of France. The gun's elaborate ornamentation, featuring gold and silver inlay, reflects the high craftsmanship of the period. Pierre Le Bourgeois, a renowned gunsmith from the 16th century, is attributed with its creation. The gun's intricately designed stock, lockplate, and barrel showcase the artistry and technical skill of gunmaking during the Renaissance. This piece, now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the world of royal firearms and their symbolic importance in European courtly life.
