EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Romanesque art, the "Plaque: Seated Prophet from a Reliquary Shrine: Osea (Hosea)". Created around 1170-1180, this gilded copper and champlevé enamel plaque is an exquisite representation of biblical prophets. The plaques were originally used as decorations for a reliquary shrine and each one represents a different prophet - Isaiah, Zacharias, Elisha, and Hosea. The intricate detailing on these plaques is truly awe-inspiring. Against dark blue backgrounds adorned with fine gold dots, the prophets appear to be seated against star-studded twilight skies. This technique was typical of Hildesheim enamels and adds depth and mystique to the artwork. Measuring approximately 8.95 cm in height, 5.87 cm in width, and 0.30 cm in depth, this plaque is now housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. It was acquired through the J. H Wade Fund. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to medieval times when religious objects like this played an important role in Christian worship. The craftsmanship displayed here reflects not only the skill but also the devotion that went into creating such sacred pieces. This image serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and spiritual significance behind it.
