EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 14th century - a crozier with an intricately carved ivory head. Created in Paris during the early 1300s, this pastoral staff is adorned with exquisite ornamentation. The delicate vine branch, complete with long stems and clusters of grapes, winds its way around the crozier. However, it is the Crucifixion scene that truly steals the spotlight. Depicting Jesus Christ on the cross, flanked by his mother Mary and Saint John, this powerful image evokes deep religious sentiments. The etching captured by W Wise in 1881 beautifully preserves every detail of this medieval masterpiece. The print emphasizes both the decorative elements and emotional intensity of the artwork. Below the Crucifixion scene rests an angelic figure, adding another layer of symbolism to this already profound composition. Originally housed in what was then known as The South Kensington Museum (now Victoria & Albert Museum) in London, this crozier represents not only a significant historical artifact but also a testament to artistic craftsmanship during that era. Its presence serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to contemplate upon faith and spirituality. W Wise's meticulous documentation ensures that future generations can appreciate and study this extraordinary piece without having to physically visit the museum itself. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of France's most treasured religious relics from centuries past.
