Dear friends,
I fount this site http://www.wga.hu/index1.html , which has thoudands of european paintings from the middle ages and the renessance. You can perform a search with the term you want to investigate, like 'arms", "crossbow" "knife" and many results come out with original period items. I found it very interesting, i post as an example some of the paintings.
