EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of "The Spitzer Cross" a remarkable piece created by the Master of the Royal Plantagenet Workshop in France around 1190. Named after Baron Frederic Spitzer, an esteemed Viennese art dealer and collector who owned it in the 19th century, this cross is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Limoges enameled craftsmanship to have survived. The refined artistry displayed on this cross is truly awe-inspiring. The delicate white enamel beautifully outlines Christ's body, meticulously defining his rib cage, abdomen, and muscles. These intricate details create a striking contrast against the vibrant green, blue, and yellow hues that adorn his halo, loincloth, and the cross itself. Crafted using champlevé enamel technique on copper with gilded elements and further enhanced through engraving and stippling methods, this masterpiece exemplifies the skillful workmanship characteristic of Gothic period art from France. Its historical significance cannot be overstated as it represents both cultural heritage and artistic excellence.
