EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Medallion with St. Christopher (?), believed to be of Italian origin and dating back to the 13th century. The unknown creator has skillfully crafted this decorative piece, which is rich in color and detail. The medallion, made from metal and adorned with gold leaf, exudes an air of elegance and religious significance. It features a close-up depiction of what is thought to be St. Christopher, the patron saint of travelers. His figure stands out against a background of vibrant glass decoration. As we delve into the history behind this remarkable artwork, it takes us back to the medieval period - commonly referred to as the Middle Ages - when such pieces held great importance in religious practices. This medallion serves as a testament to the craftsmanship prevalent during that time. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York City, this heritage art object continues to captivate visitors with its beauty and historical value. Its moulded design reflects both Italian artistic traditions and religious devotion. Through this photograph by Unknown (not affiliated with any company), we are able to appreciate the intricate details and cultural significance embedded within this 13th-century masterpiece.
