The Detroit Institute of Arts pairs Juan van der Hamen y León's portrait of Jean de Croÿ with three pieces of gilded armor shown in the painting, reuniting them for the first time in centuries. The exhibition examines how European plate defenses functioned as luxury fashion and status symbols, reflecting the taste and identity of their owners alongside Baroque works from the permanent collection.
