EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the Credence in carved oak, Flemish, dating back to around 1470. The intricate engraving and exquisite craftsmanship are beautifully captured by the English School in this 19th-century engraving. Displayed at the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum in London, this stunning work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe. The Flemish influence is evident in every detail, from the delicate carvings to the meticulous attention given to each element. The Credence itself holds great significance within religious contexts. Used during Mass for holding sacred vessels and elements such as bread and wine, it serves as an important symbol of faith and devotion. This particular piece transports us back centuries ago when such objects were crafted with utmost care and reverence. The South Kensington Museum featured this extraordinary artwork in their publication "Examples of the Works of Art in the Museum and of the Decorations of the Building with Brief Descriptions" (1881). Its inclusion highlights its historical importance even beyond its artistic value. As we admire this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how time has preserved such masterpieces that continue to inspire awe today. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art, we can now appreciate this magnificent carving from our own homes.
