EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite brooch, created by Daniel Mignot in 1596, showcases an intricate design of fantasy creatures blowing horns at the top and winged griffins at the bottom. The brooch, a stunning example of Baroque art from the 16th century, is a masterpiece of engraving and metalwork. The top of the brooch features a lively scene of mythical creatures, each one blowing a horn with great enthusiasm. The creatures, with their elongated necks and expressive faces, appear to be lost in the music they create, their horns forming a natural harmony that resonates through the image. The monochrome palette, with its bold contrasts of black and white, adds to the timeless quality of the design. At the bottom of the brooch, a pair of majestic griffins spread their wings, their fierce eyes gazing intently forward. The griffins, mythical creatures with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, were believed to possess great strength and wisdom. Their presence adds an element of power and protection to the brooch. The intricate details of this brooch are a testament to the skill and creativity of Daniel Mignot, a German artist of the Baroque era. The brooch is now part of the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. With its rich heritage and timeless design, this brooch remains a captivating example of the art and craftsmanship of the 16th century.
