EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a 16th-century English School ring, made with lapis lazuli and gold. Measuring at a delicate 1.3x1.1 cm, this tiny masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, UK. The image captures every intricate detail of the ring's design, revealing its pyretic technique that combines elements of science and artistry. A scientist or astronomer is depicted sitting beneath a majestic tree, wearing an elegant himation while engrossed in his studies. The inclusion of a globe and compasses suggests his pursuit of celestial knowledge. The deep blue hue of the lapis lazuli gemstone adds to the allure as it sits prominently on top, engraved with stars symbolizing our vast universe. An intaglio engraving reveals an intricately incised profile of what appears to be the Greek god Apollo driving his chariot across the sky. This print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind this piece of jewelry. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, artists were able to create stunning works that seamlessly blended art and science - reminding us that creativity knows no bounds when inspired by nature's wonders like our moon and sun.
