EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a 16th century goblet designed by Georg Wechter I, titled "Goblet, rim decorated with masque with gaping mouth," published in 1579. The intricately engraved chalice showcases a masque with an open, gaping mouth adorning the rim. The masque's face is elaborately decorated with floral patterns and designs, adding an element of whimsy and elegance to the piece. The body of the goblet is simple and grey, allowing the decorative rim to take center stage. Georg Wechter I, also known as Wechter der Alte or Wechter the Elder, was a prominent German engraver and publisher active during the Renaissance period. His works, including this goblet print, are highly sought after for their intricate detail and artistic merit. This historic artifact offers a glimpse into the cultural practices and artistic styles of the sixteenth century. It is a testament to the rich heritage of European art and the enduring appeal of ornate, decorative designs. The masquerade theme, with its playful use of masks and open mouths, adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the piece. This print is now part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The print is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic achievements of the past, and the enduring influence of the art and culture of the Renaissance period.
