EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate detail of a griffon, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The pavement mosaic dates back to 1124 and is believed to have been created by the Prioress of Ganagobie in Ganagobia.
The fusion of eagle and lion symbolism in this artwork reflects the rich tapestry of medieval legend and mythology. The griffon was often seen as a symbol of strength, courage, and protection in European folklore.
The craftsmanship displayed in this mosaic is truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and artistry of its creator. Each tile meticulously placed to form the majestic creature that seems to come alive within the frame.
As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to the Middle Ages, where such mythical creatures were believed to roam freely. It serves as a reminder of our human fascination with fantastical beings that blur the lines between reality and imagination.
Jean Bernard has captured not just an image but a piece of history frozen in time for us to admire and appreciate. This print is not just a work of art but also a window into another world filled with magic and wonder.
