EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Quadruped medallion, one of five exquisite pieces from a coffret dating back to the 12th century in France. Created by an unknown artist during the medieval period, this artifact is a true testament to the mastery of decorative arts during that era. The medallion's intricate design and vibrant colors immediately draw the viewer's attention. Crafted using bassetaille technique, it features champlevé enamel decoration on gilt copper. The rich blue and green hues beautifully contrast with the golden tones, creating an enchanting visual spectacle. Located in Conques, Aveyron Midi-Pyrenees region of France, this historic piece holds immense cultural significance. It represents not only the artistic prowess of its creator but also serves as a window into the Middle Ages. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this precious object has found its place among other treasured artifacts from around the world. Its inclusion in their collection further solidifies its status as an important heritage art piece. As we admire this close-up view captured through photography, we are transported back in time to witness the skillful craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail that went into creating such masterpieces centuries ago.
