EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Guild of Saint Luke token from Middelburg, dating back to 1618. Crafted in brass by the talented artist Adriaen Pietersz van de Venne, this token is now housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The Guild of Saint Luke was an esteemed association for painters and artists during the early modern period, particularly in the Low Countries. Named after the patron saint of artists, this guild played a significant role in fostering artistic talent and promoting creativity. Intriguingly, this token features an ox - a powerful symbol representing the Guild. With its coat of arms proudly displayed on its body, it serves as an attendance marker for members. The intricate design and attention to detail highlight both craftsmanship and artistry. As we delve into Dutch history through this image, we are reminded of Middelburg's rich artistic heritage and its contribution to the flourishing art scene during that era. This coin-like token not only represents membership but also acts as a testament to the importance placed on collaboration among craftsmen within these city guilds. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by www. bridgemanimages. com, we can appreciate how symbolism intertwines with historical significance – reminding us that art has always been deeply embedded within society's fabric.
