EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning relic from the 19th century French School, known as "Reliquary (chromolitho)". The intricate details and exceptional quality of this chromolithograph make it truly remarkable. The reliquary itself is shaped like an ostensorium, inspired by a miniature from the school of Albert Durer. It exudes a sense of medieval charm with its angelic figures and religious symbolism. This relic holds great significance in Christian history, representing the reverence for holy relics during the Middle Ages. The artist behind this masterpiece is Ferdinand Sere, who skillfully captured every delicate detail through his drawing. Thurwanger's lithography technique further enhances the richness and vibrancy of colors in this chromolithograph. This artwork was featured in "Les Arts Somptuaires, Histoire du Costume et de l'Amueublement" (Hangard-Mauge, 1858), showcasing its importance within historical costume and furnishing studies. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when religion played a central role in people's lives. The presence of seraphs and angels reminds us of the profound spiritual beliefs that guided individuals during that era. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this relic through their fine art finder collection. It serves as both a testament to our rich cultural heritage and an invitation to explore the depths of Christian history.
