EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 16th century pendant, created by Daniel Mignot, showcases two fantastical creatures with elongated tails, intricately engraved in black and white. The piece, titled "Large Pendant, Two Fantasy Creatures with Long Tails at Bottom," is a testament to the artistic mastery of the Baroque era. The creatures, adorned with pearls and strapwork, appear to be engaged in a playful dance, their long tails curling around each other at the bottom of the pendant. Daniel Mignot, a German artist from the late 16th century, is known for his intricate engravings that showcase a blend of mythological and fantastical elements. This pendant, with its monochrome design, is a prime example of his skill and creativity. The use of black and white adds a sense of depth and contrast, highlighting the intricate details of the engraving. The pendant, now a prized possession in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the past. Its intricate design and timeless beauty continue to captivate viewers, transporting them to a world of fantasy and wonder. The pendant's pearls and strapwork add an air of elegance and sophistication, making it a desirable piece of jewellery even today. This engraving is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Baroque era and the artistic vision of Daniel Mignot.
