EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the crozier of William of Wykeham, an angel playing a gittern with a plectrum. The intricate craftsmanship and delicate beauty of this 14th-century English School artwork are truly awe-inspiring. The angel is depicted gracefully strumming the three double courses wire-stringed instrument, its wings gently unfurled in harmony with the music being created. This medieval masterpiece exudes both elegance and serenity, transporting us back to a bygone era. As we admire this remarkable piece of gothic metalwork, it becomes evident that every element has been meticulously crafted – from the intricately designed strings to the exquisite detailing on the angel's wings. It is no wonder that such artifacts were treasured during this time period. William of Wykeham himself was not only known for his role as Lord Chancellor but also as Bishop of Winchester. This crozier serves as a testament to his patronage and appreciation for artistry.
