EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Large Pendant, Hope Standing at Centre" by Daniel Mignot, dates back to the 16th century and represents an intriguing allegory of the virtue of Hope. The engraving, a fine example of Baroque art, showcases Hope as a woman, standing boldly in the center, her left foot resting on a rocky outcrop, while her right foot is suspended in mid-air. She is depicted as naked, save for a pearl necklace and a strapwork girdle, symbolizing her purity and the enduring nature of her power. Surrounding Hope are various animals, including a deer, dogs, and birds, which symbolize the transient nature of life and the fleeting nature of worldly possessions. The deer, an emblem of grace and agility, represents the fragility of life, while the dogs, with their unwavering loyalty, represent the constancy of hope. The birds, with their wings spread wide, symbolize freedom and the desire for escape from the harsh realities of life. The intricate design of the pendant, with its complex strapwork and delicate engraving, is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time. The pendant, which would have originally been worn as a piece of jewelry, is a reminder of the enduring power of hope and the importance of holding on to it, even in the face of adversity. This stunning piece of art, now a cherished part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the Baroque era, or the allegorical figures of the 16th century.
