EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a tankard from Danzig, dating back to around 1670. Crafted with exquisite precision and adorned in parcel gilt silver, this piece is a true testament to the artistry of its time. The intricate design features an array of elements that capture the essence of the Baroque period. From delicate figure decorations to ornate engravings, every inch of this tankard exudes opulence and grandeur. The female allegory depicted on its surface adds an air of mystique and symbolism. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly remarkable. The chased metalwork and repousse techniques used in its creation demonstrate the skill and expertise possessed by Hennick Probst, or someone attributed to him during that era. A cartouche mirror serves as both a decorative element and a practical feature, reflecting light onto the intricately engraved surfaces. This attention to detail further enhances the overall beauty and allure of this exceptional vessel. Originating from Gdansk (formerly known as Danzig), Germany, this tankard represents not only fine silverware but also cultural heritage. Its elaborate decoration embodies the spirit of vanity prevalent during that time period. Now preserved within a private collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate the magnificence captured within every curve and contour of this extraordinary work of art.
