EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of religious art from the 12th century. The plaque, titled "Seated Prophet from a Reliquary Shrine: Esais (Isaiah)" is an exquisite example of Romanesque craftsmanship. Made of gilded copper and champlevé enamel, it measures approximately 8.95 cm in height, 5.72 cm in width, and 0.30 cm in depth. Originally used as adornments for a reliquary shrine, these enamel plaques represent biblical prophets such as Isaiah, Zacharias, Elisha, and Hosea. Against dark blue backgrounds adorned with fine gold dots resembling stars, the prophets appear to be seated against star-studded twilight skies - a characteristic feature of Hildesheim enamels. Currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artwork was acquired through the J. H. Wade Fund. Its intricate detailing and symbolic significance make it an exceptional representation of medieval Christian art. The Seated Prophet plaque not only serves as a testament to the artistic skills prevalent during that period but also offers viewers a glimpse into religious devotion and reverence for biblical figures within Christianity. This relic from Lower Saxony in Germany holds historical value by bridging the gap between ancient traditions and contemporary faith practices. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this significant artifact through their print collection on Fine Art Finder platform without any commercial use intentions mentioned or associated with it.
