EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Deep Plate with Hawk, Rabbit, and Foliage from the 12th century Byzantine era. Crafted using the intricate technique of sgraffito on earthenware, this plate measures 3.85x24 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The plate's design depicts a harmonious balance between predator and prey within a lush foliage setting. A majestic hawk perches atop a tree branch, its sharp gaze fixed upon an unsuspecting rabbit nestled amidst the plants below. The delicate details etched into the surface through sgraffito bring these elements to life, capturing both their grace and vulnerability. The artist's skillful rendering of this scene not only celebrates nature's beauty but also serves as a symbolic representation of life's eternal cycle – where predators hunt for survival while prey seek refuge among flourishing vegetation. This ancient masterpiece stands as a testament to Byzantine artistry and craftsmanship. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate the intricacies of this remarkable piece. It reminds us that art has the power to transcend centuries, allowing us to connect with our past while marveling at its timeless beauty.
