EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Hispano-Moresque Lusterware Plate with Griffin, originating from Valencia between 1475 and 1500. Crafted by an unknown creator during the 15th century, this antique ceramic plate is a remarkable example of European applied arts. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, it stands as a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and rich cultural heritage of Spain. The plate's design features a majestic griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The griffin symbolizes strength, courage, and wisdom in heraldry, making it an iconic motif in historical art. Its vibrant colors are achieved through glazing techniques using copper-based luster pigments that give off an iridescent sheen. With its intricate decoration and symbolic significance, this earthenware dish reflects both the artistic mastery of its time period and the fusion of Islamic and Christian influences prevalent in Hispano-Moresque ceramics. It serves as a window into fifteenth-century Spain's diverse cultural landscape. As we admire this artifact captured in stunning detail through photography, we are transported back to an era where homeware was not just functional but also celebrated for its beauty. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship behind this piece but also its historical context within Spanish art history.
