EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Pegasus pendant, an exquisite piece of artistry created by Charles Ricketts in 1901. The locket is adorned with gold and enamel, embellished further with pearls, garnets, and rubies. Measuring at 10x5 cm, this stunning creation can be found at the Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge. The closed pendant features a miniature portrait of Miss Edith Emily Cooper delicately enclosed within its ornate frame. Its intricate design captures the essence of elegance and sophistication that was prevalent during that era. The image also alludes to Miss Cooper's connection to the mythical world as she is depicted drinking from the Fountain of the Hippocrene. This mythical fountain was believed to inspire creativity and artistic endeavors for those who partook from its waters. Crafted by Giuliano Freres, renowned jewelers known for their exceptional craftsmanship, this locket stands as a testament to their skillful artistry. The front view reveals an altar-like structure featuring a winged horse symbolizing Pegasus - a creature associated with inspiration and imagination. As we admire this breathtaking masterpiece through Fine Art Finder's lens, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also acknowledge its historical significance preserved within the walls of Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge.
