EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of art from the mid 17th century, known as the Mounted Nautilus Cup. Created by Hungarian School artists, this intricate masterpiece combines the elegance of seashell and silver-gilt craftsmanship. The cup stands on a lobed foot adorned with exquisite repoussé and chased flowers, along with charming winged putti heads against a matted background. The stem of this remarkable cup takes the form of a fish swallowing Jonah, whose tail supports a nautilus shell. Three sections of the shell are beautifully engraved with foliage designs, while its front is mounted with an impressive silver sea-monster mask above a triple-lobed cup. Each lobe features finely detailed scenes depicting moments from the biblical story of Jonah: his dramatic expulsion overboard in the center, his encounter with the gourd tree on one side, and his plea to God on the other. This extraordinary work exemplifies baroque aesthetics through its asymmetrical curves and expertly executed repoussé metalwork. With its rich narrative elements and ornate details, including cherubs or putti adorning various parts of the cup's design, it serves as both functional vessel and sculptural marvel. Currently held in private collection but made available for public appreciation through this photograph by Bridgeman Images' eChristies collection; this Mounted Nautilus Cup is truly an exceptional example of Hungarian decorative arts from centuries past.
