EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning plaque, believed to be from a Reliquary Shrine, dating back to the years 1225-1250. Crafted by the German School in the 13th century, this exquisite piece is made of gilded copper and adorned with champlevé enamel. The intricate design features an array of Christian and religious motifs, including delicate floral patterns that symbolize purity and devotion. Measuring at approximately 4.25 cm in height and 8.90 cm in width, this remarkable artifact now resides within the esteemed Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. It was generously gifted to the museum by Mr. and Mrs. Harold A. Hallstein. The craftsmanship displayed on this plaque is truly awe-inspiring; each petal meticulously enameled with vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. Its Gothic style reflects the artistic influences prevalent during medieval times. As we gaze upon this relic from centuries past, we are transported back to an era where faith played a central role in people's lives. This plaque serves as a tangible reminder of Christianity's rich history and its enduring impact on art.
