Alliance Coat of Arms 1490

Albrecht Dürer's "Alliance Coat of Arms" (1490) is a striking example of heraldic art. The painting displays two coats of arms, each with distinctive symbols. The left shield depicts an open doorway, while the right shield features a white goat, suggesting a combination of two families. The winged figure in the center, with its dark skin and red clothing, adds a striking and symbolic element. This artwork, now housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, demonstrates Dürer's early mastery of detail and symbolism, showcasing his talent for depicting heraldic designs with precision and artistic flair.
