EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the exquisite Base of the Cross of St. Bertin, a remarkable piece from the Abbaye Saint-Bertin in France. Created around 1180 by Godefroid de Huy, this gilded bronze and champleve enamel masterpiece is a true testament to medieval craftsmanship. Intricately designed, the base features various symbols and figures that hold significant meaning. At its center stands Aaron, depicted with his staff and wearing a robe adorned with beautiful enamel work. The sign of Tau, representing salvation and divine protection, is prominently displayed beside him. Surrounding Aaron are intricate engravings depicting lions and humans engaged in writing gospel texts—a visual representation of evangelism. The enamelled treasure further enhances the overall grandeur of this religious artifact. Attributed to Godefroid de Huy, an esteemed artist from the 12th century known for his exceptional metalwork skills, this base exemplifies his mastery in creating detailed sculptures that evoke awe-inspiring beauty. Currently housed at Musee de l'Hotel Sandelin in Saint-Omer, France, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate every minute detail captured on camera. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and provides insight into the artistic achievements of past civilizations. This image invites us to delve deeper into history while marveling at the skillful craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.
