EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Mourner from the Tomb of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. Crafted in alabaster by Claus de Werve between 1404 and 1410, this sculpture stands at an impressive size of 41.1x17.6x11 cm. Housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, it is a testament to the rich history and artistic mastery of medieval Netherlandish craftsmanship. The figure depicted exudes profound grief and mourning through its meticulously carved drapery and somber expression. As a symbol of loss and remembrance, this sculpture pays homage to Philip the Bold (1342-1404), who held significant titles such as Duke of Burgundy (Philip II) and Count of Flanders (Philip II) by marriage. Every detail on this Gothic masterpiece speaks volumes about its symbolic significance. The intricate folds in the fabric represent not only sorrow but also serve as a reminder of Philip's power as a ruler during his time. This piece serves as a poignant reminder that even those with great authority are not exempt from experiencing grief. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an era where art was used to convey emotions beyond words. It is a timeless representation that continues to captivate viewers today while honoring the legacy left behind by Philip the Bold and his contributions to history.
