EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 12th century, titled "Warrior Fighting a Dragon". Crafted from gilded copper and adorned with champlevé enamel, this medallion depicts a youthful warrior engaged in an intense battle against a fearsome winged dragon. The identity of this valiant hero remains unknown as there is no accompanying inscription to provide clues. One intriguing possibility is that this scene portrays the Arthurian legend of Tristan fighting the dragon of Ireland. During the reign of Henry II in England, an epic poem called Tristan gained popularity at court, making it plausible that this medallion was created during that time. The exquisite craftsmanship and intricate details on this medallion are truly awe-inspiring. The use of enamel adds vibrant colors and depth to the artwork, enhancing its visual impact. This piece serves as a testament to the artistic skills prevalent during the Romanesque period. Housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this medallion was acquired through purchase from the J. H. Wade Fund. Its historical significance and cultural value make it an invaluable addition to their collection. Through Bridgeman Images' fine art finder service, we can now appreciate and admire this medieval masterpiece captured in stunning detail within this photo print.
