EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the crozier of William of Wykeham, an exquisite piece of medieval art. The focal point is an angel playing the trumpet, skillfully crafted with silver gilt and champleve enamel. Standing at a total height of 206 cm, this masterpiece is courtesy of the esteemed Warden and Scholars of New College in Oxford. The intricate design captures the essence of Gothic metalwork, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship prevalent during the 14th century. The angel's delicate fingers pluck lamella or feather strings on what is also known as a jews harp, creating harmonious melodies that resonate through time. Beyond its musical significance, this detail holds historical importance as it was once part of Lord Chancellor William of Wykeham's personal collection. As Bishop of Winchester, he wielded both spiritual and political power during his lifetime (c. 1320-1404). Every element within this panel tells a story - from its symbolic representation to its function as both a crosse and harmonic instrument. It serves not only as an artifact but also as a testament to the rich cultural heritage embedded in English history. As we gaze upon this stunning image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grandeur that defined medieval artistry.
