EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century print, titled "Goblet decorated with masque," is a masterpiece by the renowned German artist, Georg Wechter I. Published in 1579, this antique artwork showcases a beautifully engraved goblet adorned with intricate masques. The masques, depicting human faces with elaborate headdresses and masks, are arranged in a floral design, creating a striking contrast between the organic and the artificial. The goblet, a common drinking vessel during the Renaissance period, is shown in black and white, adding to its timeless appeal. The grey tones of the print highlight the intricate details of the masques, their features accentuated by the contrasting white lines. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 16th century, a time of artistic innovation and exploration. The masquerade theme was popular during this era, and this print provides a unique depiction of this concept. The masques, with their mysterious and otherworldly appearance, add an element of intrigue and allure to the simple drinking vessel. This artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly those with a focus on the Renaissance period. It is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The print is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to provoke our imagination and curiosity.
