EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 14th century - a Plaque with God The Father. Created by an unknown artist, this German masterpiece is a testament to the rich heritage of medieval art. The plaque features intricate bassetaille enamel work on silver, depicting God The Father in all His glory. With a benevolent hand gesture and a crown adorning His head, He exudes divine power and authority. In one hand, He holds an orb symbolizing His dominion over the world. The circular shape of the plaque adds to its aesthetic appeal, drawing attention to every exquisite detail. The vibrant blue color used in the enamelled decoration further enhances its visual impact. This artwork not only represents religious devotion but also serves as a reminder of the historical context in which it was created. During the Middle Ages, warfare and weaponry played significant roles in society, reflected here by the presence of swords depicted on either side of God The Father. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece offers visitors an opportunity to connect with centuries-old craftsmanship and delve into Christian iconography from that era. As we admire this photograph print today, we are reminded of how art transcends time and continues to inspire awe through its beauty and profound symbolism.
