EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Reliquary of the True Cross and the Holy Nail" created in 1862 by Viollet-le-Duc, a renowned artist of his time. The reliquary, which is part of the treasure collection at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, is a true testament to goldsmithery and craftsmanship. The drawing depicts two angels gracefully supporting a plateau adorned with a Latin cross that houses a precious parcel of the True Cross. Below this magnificent structure, an intricately designed crystal reliquary held by two scrolls awaits to receive the Crucifixion nail. The attention to detail and precision in this piece are truly remarkable. Placide Poussielgue-Rusand, another talented artist from that era, brought Viollet-le-Duc's drawings to life through his goldsmith artistry. Together, they have created an object that not only serves as a religious artifact but also stands as a work of art in its own right. The photograph captures every intricate detail and color present on this masterpiece. It allows us to appreciate the metallic sheen and delicate craftsmanship involved in creating such an extraordinary relic. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Christianity's rich history and its profound influence on artistic expression throughout centuries. This relic represents more than just religious significance; it symbolizes devotion, faith, and reverence for sacred relics within Christian religion. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's Exposition Louvre collection, we can marvel at both the beauty of this artwork and its historical importance during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been intertwined with spirituality – capturing moments frozen in time for generations to come.
