EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Crucifix given by Mary Queen of Scots to the last Abbot of Westminster, John Feckenham. Crafted in the 16th century by the French School, this exquisite gold and enamel pendant holds immense significance. Mary Stuart, also known as Mary Queen of Scots, presented this crucifix to John Feckenham during a time when religious devotion held great importance. The intricate design features a suspended cross with a delicate halo surrounding Jesus Christ. Its beauty is enhanced by the meticulous craftsmanship that went into creating it. The provenance of this precious artifact adds another layer to its allure. It was acquired by Mary Howard (nee Savile), mother of the 8th and 9th Dukes of Norfolk, from Mr Loyeck ye monk in Paris back in 1696. This demonstrates how treasured and sought-after such relics were even centuries after their creation. Now under the ownership of His Grace The Duke of Norfolk at Arundel Castle, this crucifix continues to captivate viewers with its historical and artistic value. As we gaze upon it through this print brought to us by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time - witnessing an era where faith and art intertwined seamlessly. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary piece but also invites contemplation on religion's enduring influence throughout history while showcasing the mastery achieved during Renaissance jewelry making techniques.
