EDITORS COMMENTS
This ornamental medallion by Hubert Francois Gravelot, titled "Ornamental Medallions with the Adoration of the Magi and Two Bibliophiles," transports us back to the 18th century with its intricate design and rich historical context. Gravelot, a renowned French artist from Bourguignon Danville, expertly crafted this work in pen and brown black ink with graphite on tracing paper. The central focus of the medallion is the Adoration of the Magi, a significant event from the New Testament, where the three wise men pay homage to the infant Jesus. The Madonna and Child are depicted in the midst of this reverent scene, with the Christ child reaching out towards the Magi in a gesture of welcome. The serene expression on the faces of the figures and the delicate rendering of their robes convey a sense of peace and reverence. Surrounding the central scene are two bibliophiles, or lovers of books, who are engrossed in their reading. Their presence emphasizes the importance of knowledge and learning during this period. The intricate ornamental border, filled with floral motifs and scrollwork, adds to the overall beauty and elegance of the medallion. This work of art is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of France during the eighteenth century. It can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The interplay of black and white, the delicate use of brown ink, and the elegant lettering all contribute to the timeless appeal of this stunning work by Hubert Francois Gravelot.
