EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Hylle Jewel" a remarkable piece of medieval art. Crafted in the late 14th century, this silver-gilt jewel takes the form of a crowned Lombardic initial M, adorned with exquisite gemstones including rubies, diamonds, emeralds, and pearls. The French School is attributed to its creation. Measuring at 5.7x4.9 cm, this precious artifact is currently held by the esteemed Warden and Scholars of New College in Oxford. Its historical significance is further enhanced by its provenance - it was gifted to the college in 1455 by Winchester's prominent Hylle family. Intriguingly, this jeweled masterpiece features annunciation figures depicting angel Gabriel and Virgin Mary. The level of detail and craftsmanship evident in every aspect of this jewel is awe-inspiring; from the encrusted gems to the delicate depiction of lilies within a vase. "The Hylle Jewel" serves as an extraordinary testament to medieval jewelry-making techniques and artistic sensibilities. It represents not only a symbol of wealth but also acts as a tangible connection to centuries past. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art pieces like these through photography prints, we can now appreciate the intricate beauty and historical value that "The Hylle Jewel" holds for generations to come.
