EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 16th century - a Plaque with Christ Carrying Cross. Created by an unknown artist, this French masterpiece is a testament to the rich heritage of art and Christianity during the Middle Ages. The plaque depicts Jesus Christ in vivid color and intricate detail, carrying his cross with grace and determination. Painted enamel on copper brings out every nuance of expression on Christ's face, capturing both his suffering and divine strength. The use of gold adds a touch of opulence to this religious artwork, enhancing its spiritual significance. Located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Limoges, France, this piece exemplifies the skillful craftsmanship that was prevalent during this era. Its bassetaille technique creates depth and texture while showcasing exquisite decorative elements. As we gaze upon this close-up view, we are transported back in time to witness not only the artistic brilliance but also the religious devotion that inspired such creations. This plaque serves as a poignant reminder of persecution faced by Christians during that period. With its historical value and cultural significance, it stands as an enduring symbol of faith for generations to come. Though created centuries ago by an unknown creator named Nardon Penicaud or Penicaud Nardon, its impact remains timeless.
