While my interest in Medieval and Renaissance art is not what it probably should be, a good chunk of my time was devoted to the Louvre's superlative collection of early metalwork (and some stone). In early times, metal was hard to come by and worked with great difficulty, thus used only for those things which mattered (and matter) most to humanity. Namely opening big, gaping holes in one another.
There are a few exceptions to this, of course, but only a few.
