EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent dagger from the late 1600s, crafted with steel and ivory by the Italian School of the 17th century. Measuring at an impressive 30.2x6.4 cm, this exquisite piece is housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The true allure lies within the intricately carved grip of this dagger, which depicts the female followers of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine. The level of detail and craftsmanship is truly remarkable as each figure comes to life on its metallic canvas. Mythological creatures such as goats and rams adorn both sides of the handguard while cherubs and putti add a touch of celestial charm. This weapon not only serves its practical purpose but also doubles as a work of art with its ornate decoration and mythological symbolism. The blade itself boasts a sharp edge ready for battle or defense if necessary. A testament to Italian metalwork mastery during that era, this dagger captures both elegance and strength in one striking design. It stands as a reminder that even everyday objects can be transformed into extraordinary pieces through skilled craftsmanship and artistic vision. Gifted by Mr. and Mrs. John L Severance, this historical artifact continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty at the Cleveland Museum of Art - an emblematic representation merging history, mythology, and fine art seamlessly together.
