Angel, c. 1250 (walnut with traces of gilding & polychromy)
499642 Angel, c.1250 (walnut with traces of gilding & polychromy)
by French School, (13th century); 75x41.5x22.5 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Surviving in fragmentary condition, this pair of angels lacks lower arms, hands, wings, and attributes. Their original paint and gilding, now almost entirely lost, once rendered their garments a rich brocade and their hair a luxuriant gold. Nonetheless, in their graceful poses and sublime faces--which may portray tragic interest, anguish, or deep concern--their original delicacy and power are still evident. They embody the monumental style of 13th-century High Gothic cathedral sculpture in France. Their style specifically suggests they were carved in or around Reims, possibly by sculptors associated with the cathedral there. Their original placement is unknown, but they may have flanked an altar on columns or been placed within the spandrels of a ciborium.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Angel, c. 1250" from the French School in the 13th century. Carved out of walnut with traces of gilding and polychromy, this magnificent piece stands at an impressive size of 75x41.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Although fragmentary in condition, these angelic figures still emanate a sense of delicate beauty and power. Their original paint and gilding have faded over time but once adorned their garments with a rich brocade pattern while their hair shimmered with luxuriant gold tones. The angels' graceful poses and sublime faces evoke various emotions - from tragic interest to anguish or deep concern - leaving viewers captivated by their timeless allure. The monumental style reflects the influence of 13th-century High Gothic cathedral sculpture prevalent in France during that era. Believed to be carved around Reims, possibly by sculptors associated with its renowned cathedral, these angels' original placement remains unknown. They may have flanked an altar on columns or been positioned within the spandrels of a ciborium. Through this remarkable photograph, we are transported back to medieval times where artistry flourished alongside religious devotion, reminding us of humanity's enduring fascination with divine beauty captured through skilled craftsmanship.
