Daniel Mignot Devil Mignot Daniel Pearl Pearls Pedestal Pendant Strapwork

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 1596 pendant, created by the renowned Danish engraver Daniel Mignot, showcases an intricately designed lower section featuring two winged "devils" or putti, each sitting on pedestals adorned with elaborate strapwork. The upper part of the pendant is adorned with a large pearl, adding an elegant touch to the overall design. The pendant, a fine example of Baroque art from the 16th century, is a captivating blend of dark and light elements. The monochrome palette, with its contrasting white and black motifs, adds to the visual allure of the piece. The devils, with their mischievous grins and outstretched wings, add an element of whimsy and playfulness, while the pedestals and strapwork display the artist's exceptional skill in metal engraving. The pendant, now a treasured piece of heritage art, was once a popular form of jewelry during the Baroque era in Germany. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The intricate details of the pendant, from the delicate strapwork to the expressive faces of the devils, are a testament to Mignot's artistic mastery and the enduring appeal of Baroque art.
