EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent piece of art from the mid-17th century - the Mounted Nautilus Cup. Created by Hungarian School artists, this ornate cup is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and creativity. The cup features a lobed foot adorned with intricately designed flowers and winged putti heads on a matted ground. The stem takes the form of a fish swallowing Jonah, with its tail supporting a nautilus shell. Three sections of the shell are beautifully engraved with foliage, while the front is mounted with an exquisite silver sea-monster mask above a triple lobed cup. Each lobe of the cup depicts scenes from the biblical story of Jonah in fine repoussé and chased workmanship. In one scene, Jonah is thrown overboard; in another, he finds shelter under the gourd tree; and in yet another, he pleads with God for mercy. These narrative scenes are surrounded by delicate foliate scrolls that add to their visual appeal. The entire composition exudes baroque elegance and grandeur. The asymmetrical design, curved lines, and attention to detail make it an extraordinary example of metalwork artistry during this period. With its rich symbolism and intricate decoration, this Mounted Nautilus Cup represents not only functional silverware but also sculptural beauty at its finest. It serves as both an awe-inspiring vessel for drinking purposes and as an artistic statement that reflects Hungarian decorative traditions from centuries ago.
