EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Wedgwood's "Plaque: Perseus and Andromeda" from 1886. The plaque, made of stoneware basaltware, is beautifully framed in gilt wood, adding a touch of elegance to this historic artifact. Depicting a scene from Greek mythology, the plaque portrays the heroic Perseus rescuing the helpless Andromeda from a fearsome sea monster. The intricate details and delicate design highlight Wedgwood's mastery in ceramic artistry during the 19th century. Displayed at an art gallery in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, this antique piece represents British heritage art at its finest. Its presence evokes a sense of history and culture as visitors admire its decorative elements and symbolic depiction. The gilded frame adds an air of sophistication to this timeless artwork while emphasizing its significance as an important historical artifact. As viewers gaze upon it with awe, they are transported back to ancient times where mythological tales were brought to life through skilled craftsmanship. This photograph captures not only the beauty of Wedgwood's creation but also serves as a reminder of Europe's rich artistic traditions. With its meticulous attention to detail and expert execution, this plaque stands as a testament to English excellence in applied arts. As we appreciate this remarkable piece today at the Art Institute Chicago exhibition, we honor both Wedgwood's legacy and our shared human fascination with mythology throughout time.
