EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 16th century artwork, titled "Large Pendant, Lower Left and Right Two Griffins Carrying Fantasy Candlesticks," is a masterpiece by the renowned Flemish engraver Daniel Mignot, created in the year 1596. The intricately designed piece showcases the beauty and grandeur of the Baroque era. The central focus of the pendant is a large oval-shaped pearl, surrounded by two magnificent griffins, mythical creatures with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle. The griffins, with their powerful and regal presence, hold elaborate candlesticks in their claws. The candlesticks are adorned with intricate strapwork designs, adding an extra layer of detail and elegance to the piece. The black and white engraving, with its monochrome color palette, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in creating depth and texture through shading and contrast. The pearls and metals used in the original piece would have added a lustrous and luxurious touch to the artwork. This magnificent piece, a testament to the artistic heritage of the 16th century, is now part of the permanent collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. The National Gallery of Art is home to an extensive collection of art from various periods and genres, making it a must-visit destination for art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
