EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Medingen Minerva Cup, a stunning piece of silver and vermeil artwork dating back to around 1650. Standing at an impressive height of 79 cm, this cup is truly a masterpiece that belongs in a private collection. The craftsmanship of Hinrich Ohmssen, who flourished during the mid-17th century, is evident in every intricate detail of this cup. The surface is adorned with delicate floral motifs and ornate baroque designs, creating a sense of opulence and grandeur. The gilded flowers add a touch of elegance to the overall composition. The stem and goblet are beautifully decorated with polylobed patterns, showcasing the skillful artistry involved in its creation. A decorative cover adds another layer of complexity to this already elaborate vessel. One cannot help but be captivated by the finial on top, which serves as an ornamental focal point for the entire piece. It exudes regality and sophistication. With its Assay Masters mark by Clauss II Sufssen from the period between 1635-1680, this cup holds historical significance as well. This print allows us to appreciate all these remarkable details up close while also highlighting the artistic prowess behind it. It's truly a testament to human creativity and craftsmanship throughout history.
