THE DEATH OF KNIGHTHOOD? -3*-<br />

Vasari's portrait of<br />

Aless<strong>and</strong>ro de Medici,<br />

completed in 1534,<br />

encapsulates the<br />

Renaissance nobleman's<br />

attitude to war. He looks<br />

back, dressed in<br />

Maximilian plate armour,<br />

but also forward, for<br />

cradled in his lap he has<br />

a gun barrel. (Bridgeman<br />

Art Library)<br />
